About the Golden Ears Provincial Park Recreation Facility Plan

One of southwestern British Columbia’s largest parks, Golden Ears Provincial Park is an exceptional destination for many forms of recreation. The park features three large campgrounds and an extensive network of trails. Alouette Lake is a popular destination for swimming, boating, and fishing. As the number of visitors to Golden Ears Provincial Park continues to rise, there is growing pressure on the park’s facilities and resources.

BC Parks is working on a Recreation Facility Plan to identify what facilities and services are needed to:

  • Provide a range of enjoyable, high-quality, and safe outdoor recreation opportunities for visitors, and
  • Help manage the increasing number of visitors to protect the environmental and cultural integrity of the park.

The Recreation Facility Plan will identify and recommend facility improvement projects to potentially complete in the future. The plan will consider existing visitor use challenges and recommend facilities that provide practical solutions to problems. It will look at the following aspects of the park:

  • Indigenous interests
  • Environmental interests
  • Visitor use pressures and trends
  • Parking/congestion
  • Active transportation
  • Accessibility
  • Existing and potential new park facilities

We want to hear from you.

Input from stakeholders, residents, and the community is essential to this process. We want to know how you use Golden Ears Provincial Park, your perspectives on the park, and your ideas for the future. Your input will help inform recommendations for facility improvements in the Recreation Facility Plan. This page features a community survey and an interactive mapping tool that will remain open until: July 10, 2023 (extended).
