Annual grass mowing program underway

June 6, 2022

With more than 2,200 hectares of green space to mow, cutting the grass is no quick task for us.

“That works out to be the same size of well over 3,000 CFL fields,” said Kyle Lucyk, Parks Services Administrator.

While the grass mowing program typically starts in mid-May and continues until mid-October, the weather this spring caused it to be delayed by about three weeks. Green spaces are mowed on a rotating basis with cycles ranging from 10 to 14 days, totally between eight to 12 mowing cycles for an area.

“Typically, dandelions are around for three to four weeks before going to seed for the season and they are also cut down as part of the mowing operation,” said Lucyk.

Crews are out weather permitting and residents are reminded to use caution and stay back to stay safe when around workers.

“They are working throughout the summer months to keep Winnipeg greenspaces in nicely manicured condition for everyone to enjoy,” said Lucyk.
