Park Uses

Parks are used for many things, from recreation and sports to relaxation and enjoying nature. Have a picnic, play sports, use the playground, watch nature – just a few of the things you can do in our parks!

Some basic rules

Let’s make sure everyone can enjoy our parks.

• If you play games and sports make sure you are not in the way of other park users.
• Park only in approved areas.
• Keep noise levels down. Music or loudspeaker use is okay as long as those around you are okay with it!
• Keep dogs under control and clean up after your pet. Learn more about dogs in parks.
  
• No fires in parks or on beaches.
• You can use portable gas BBQs with adult supervision. No charcoal or briquettes.
• No alcohol, smoking, vaping or marijuana use.

If you have a park permit, the park is still open for general use. If someone else is using the area you have booked, please nicely let them know you have a permit and ask that they move.

Respect nature

• Stick to formal trails.
• Pack it in, pack it out. Please take all garbage, recycling or compostable materials with you.
• Please do not pick or eat plants or flowers.
• Leave trees alone.
• Enjoy wildlife from a distance.
