Winter tips when visiting regional parks:

Winter conditions are finally here in the Central Okanagan! Parks and trails experience seasonal conditions, meaning that you need to be prepared for snowy and icy trails when heading out into a regional park this winter. We recommend a pair of crampons for your boots to provide extra grip on icy trails, and dress warmly in layers to stay dry and snug. Walking poles also come in handy for winter walking. While most trails are not cleared of snow and ice, parks crews are hard at work plowing the Mission Creek Greenway from Mission Creek Regional Park all the way to the trailhead at Lakeshore Road. A final tip: use caution around frozen bodies of water. Colder temperatures may result in ice forming but the thickness can change rapidly. Play it safe and stay off the ice and keep dogs leashed so that they don't go exploring on thin ice.

Vehicle gate closures over winter
Until April 1, the vehicle gates to various regional parks are closed due to reduced maintenance of parking areas. Roads have vehicle gates closed for the season, though these parks remain open to foot traffic. Washroom facilities in several regional parks are also closed for the winter season. Know before you go and check www.rdco.com/pickapark.

Parks Wildfire Recovery:

Fires have always been a part of the natural world and the summer of 2023 was no exception. Residents and visitors to the Central Okanagan were witness to some of the largest interface fires in our history. These fires were more intense and larger due to climate change and had devastating outcomes for many.
Regional Parks staff work hard to protect the lands and ecosystems within and to reconnect you to these wild spaces. It's a delicate balance between human activity and nature, now more challenging as we navigate unsafe conditions, hazard trees, unstable slopes, and ecologically sensitive lands heavily impacted by firefighting efforts.
