Parks Reopen

BC Parks and Recreation Sites and Trails BC will reintroduce services in keeping with direction from the Provincial Health Officer.

​

Reopening B.C.'s parks will come in rapid stages. BC priority is providing safe access and services to people across the province while maintaining the safety of staff and park operators. 

​

Beginning of May 14, 2020, those BC Parks, recreation sites, and trails that can accommodate physical distancing will reopen for day use only. 

​

This will include day-use sites and protected areas. Parks and recreation sites that can safely provide existing levels, such as garbage disposal and washroom facilities, will do so. These facilities will be cleaned more frequently.  Some areas and facilities remain closed including playgrounds, picnic shelters, and visitor centers.
