Park planning
New comfort station washrooms for several parks
Starting this summer several Regional Parks will have new comfort station (tank toilets) installed, including: Bertram Creek, Lebanon Creek, KLO Creek, and more! Installations do not require park closures and are expected to wrap up in the fall.


Goats Peak - Whitworth entrance progress
The stairs at the new Whitworth Road entrance to Goats Peak have been completed, but there is still work to be done to connect the trail to the park. This area is not open to the public at this time. We're working hard to get this new section open. Please respect closed areas and stay on trails - these sensitive ecosystems are easily impacted by your feet, hooves and tires.


Glen Canyon - trail improvements
Work continues on a section of upper Glen Canyon, between Lower Glenrosa Road and Aberdeen Road. Expect short term closures or delays and follow posted signage. and direction given by trail construction crews.


Black Mountain-sntsk‘il’ntən - development
Development continues in Black Mountain-sntsk‘il’ntən as more trails are formalized and contractors work out of the Joe Rich Road entrance. Until work is complete, this area of the park remains closed to the public. We're working hard to get this new section open. Please respect closed areas and stay on trails - these sensitive ecosystems are easily impacted by your feet, hooves and tires.
