Parks Service Alerts
The SCRD will be closing the access trail to Wreck Beach off Rosemary Lane on Keats Island for use until a hazardous section of overhanging uphill slope can be remediated.
The access path has been deemed a high-risk area for public use which could pose life safety issues. This determination is following professional engineering assessment of the area.
This bridge remains closed. There is an alternate route along Highway 101 to Lions Park trails that connect to the Sun Coaster trail.
Capital Funding for Vinebrook Bridge was approved in 2023. This funding will contribute to the planning required to ensure environmental, archeological, design and structural requirements for the bridge to meet required standards. Parks Services staff capacity has been challenged since funding was approved, this project is progressing and engineers are currently being engaged.
An engineering inspection determined that the upper waterfall bridge needs to be closed to public access effective immediately. The bridge has reached the end of its design life and keeping it open presents a significant safety risk to the public.
Two alternate creek crossings are available to the south and north of the Upper Waterfall bridge, so there will be minimal impacts to the public accessing and using the Cliff Gilker network of trails
The SCRD is currently working on a project to remediate the park, learn more at https://letstalk.scrd.ca/cliff-gilker.
The sports field open for use but will continue to be closely monitored for damage as we move into the maintenance phase of the recovery program.
Only youth soccer leagues may use the field. Men’s and women’s leagues must practice off pitch only and must ensure that nets are shifted around to avoid wear and tear in any one area.
We ask that visitors keep dogs off the sports field.
The bridge at Chaster House in Elphinstone was damaged during the atmospheric river event in late 2021. Like the bridges at Cliff Gilker Park, incremental damage was discovered due to heavy rains and creek volumes.
