Regional parks are great places to go for a walk, breathe fresh air and enjoy the beauty of nature. But they're more than that: they're part of a larger system that includes regional park reserves, ecological conservancy areas and greenways.
All of these places are located on the shared territories of many Indigenous peoples, including 10 local First Nations: q́ićəý (Katzie), q́ʷɑ:ńƛ̓əń (Kwantlen), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), máthxwi (Matsqui), xʷməθkʷəýəm (Musqueam), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), se’mya’me (Semiahmoo), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw (Squamish), scəẃaθən məsteyəxʷ (Tsawwassen), and sə́lílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh).
These green spaces protect diverse natural landscapes and habitats spread out over British Columbia's largest metropolitan area. They are our shared legacy.
Start exploring. Discover a new trail, learn about wildlife or attend one of the many events and programs. Enjoy a world away from the hustle and bustle of urban life and reconnect with nature.
