Engagement summary
Golden Ears Provincial Park is one of the most popular destinations in the Lower Mainland for campers and day visitors. As the number of visitors to Golden Ears Provincial Park continues to rise, there is growing pressure on the park’s facilities and resources.
BC Parks is working on a Recreation Facility Plan to identify what facilities and services are needed to:
- Provide a range of enjoyable, high-quality, and safe outdoor recreation opportunities for visitors, and
- Help manage the increasing number of visitors to protect the environmental and cultural integrity of the park.
The Recreation Facility Plan will identify and recommend facility improvement projects. It will consider existing visitor use challenges and recommend facilities that provide solutions. It will look at the following aspects of the park:
- Indigenous interests
- Environmental interests
- Visitor use pressures and trends
- Parking/congestion
- Active transportation
- Accessibility
- Existing and potential new park facilities
We want to hear from you
Input from the community is essential to this process. We want to know how you use Golden Ears Provincial Park, your perspectives on the park, and your ideas for the future. Your input will help inform recommendations for facility improvements in the Recreation Facility Plan. The community survey and an interactive mapping tool will remain open until: June 19, 2023.
