 BC Park staff and park operators look forward to welcoming you back into the parks. We're taking a phased approach to safely open our parks. Some high-use areas will remain off limits and closed. As part of phase one of reopening, many BC parks will be open for day use only. You're invited to visit a park in your local area, but as Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry says, please avoid non-essential travel. While we're not open to camping yet, we are working on opening campgrounds. As soon as it's safe to do so. As we get back outdoors, please stay local and visit parks that are closest to your home. While we all want to explore new parks, we don't want to overwhelm small communities. Bring water, snacks and hand sanitizer. Bring your own clean trip kit. And be prepared for some park facilities to be closed, including washrooms, depending on the park. Be prepared to pack out your own garbage. If you're sick, keep everyone safe by staying home. The park will wait for you. Some facilities, including beaches, trails and boat launches. Docks, picnic tables and pit toilets will be open for day use. Some facilities will remain closed, including playgrounds and picnic shelters. You want to keep you safe, and these areas don't always allow for appropriate physical distancing. Try to visit early in the day when parks are less busy. Give people lots of space in parking lots. If parking lots are full, please come back another time. We appreciate you not parking along the roadways. Signage in the park will give you important information to keep you and others safe. Practice two meters physical distancing. Allow people to pass on the trails by moving to the right. And avoid traveling in large groups. We know that these changes have been difficult for people, but it's important to remember that this is temporary. We need your help to reduce the spread of COVID-19 so our parks can stay open and everyone can stay healthy and safe. Please stay local and visit parks that are closest to your home. We're all in this together, and we're counting on everyone to do their part. Together. Together. Together. Together. Together we can stay safe and keep parks open.
