Regional Park Reserves

CRD Regional Parks is building a world-class parks and trails system by acquiring parkland for future generations. Our primary goal for these regionally significant areas is the protection of natural and cultural resources.

Although park reserves currently have no facilities, most are open to visitors. CRD Parks will develop visitor facilities in park reserves after completing a management plan for each area.
