A council is using security staff to patrol country parks in a bid to cut the number of people using them during the coronavirus lockdown.
Wakefield Council staff in West Yorkshire will turn residents away if a park is considered to be at capacity.
The council said many of its country parks have been overcrowded because people have travelled to exercise.
Residents have been reminded they must stay within their village, town or the part of the city where they live.
