BC Parks Introducing New Day-Use Pass System to Manage Attendance and Ensure Safety
On July 27th, BC Parks is piloting a new, free, day-use pass system in select high-use parks to manage attendance and visitor and staff safety. Our goal is to help visitors feel safe, stay healthy and have a great outdoor experience. Some of these parks may already be open, but peak visitor demand is continuing to grow during the summer months. The day-use pass system will limit the number of visitors to allow for physical distancing in congested areas and ensure a more positive experience.
Day passes are being launched in the following six parks:
- Garibaldi Park (Diamondhead, Rubble Creek, and Cheakamus trailheads);
- Stawamus Chief Park (Chief Peaks Trail);
- Cypress Park (upper mountain trails including Howe Sound Crest Trail, Black Mountain Plateau trails, and Hollyburn Mountain trails;
- Mount Seymour Park (upper mountain trails including the Seymour Main Trail, Dog Mountain Trail, and the Mystery Lake Trail);
- Golden Ears Park (all trailheads and day use areas); and,
- Mount Robson Trail (Berg Lake Trail).
Day use passes for these parks will be available through the Discover Camping website
www.discovercamping.ca
.
Passes are available same-day only starting at 6:00AM each day.
Please visit the BC Parks website (
