Other Info
The swimming facility at Aldergrove Regional Park closed permanently in early 2011 and has been decomissioned. It's now a lovely picnic site with a small sandy play area, trails, and washroom. Future recreational use of the site will be considered in the park management planning process, currently underway. You will have the opportunity to share your ideas for the park during the development of the plan. The second Open House inviting public involvement will be held in spring 2012 (stay tuned - date TBA!). Go to the Regional Parks Planning webpage for Aldergrove Lake Regional Park Management Plan for more information.
