Parks offer natural spaces for outdoor learning and inspirational experiences. We increase access to regional parks, benefiting the mental and physical health of the people who make up our community. From forests and wetlands to beaches and bogs, visitors are able to enjoy a diversity of landscapes and natural environments.
Parks build stronger, healthier communities. Working in partnership with other supporters, we ensure Metro Vancouver Regional Parks are the best that they can possibly be and protect our natural green spaces.
Our vision is for a healthy, dynamic regional park system, loved and supported by the community, and protected and enhanced for future generations.
