Plan for Parks

The new Plan for Parks will be Alberta’s strategic direction for sites managed under the Provincial Parks Act. This includes provincial parks, provincial recreation areas and wildland provincial parks. The new Plan for Parks will provide the vision and guiding principles for managing increased visitation and evolving recreation opportunities within Alberta’s parks, without compromising their natural and cultural legacy. The plan isn’t about any single park or site. It will consider how parks across the province work together to provide conservation, recreation, education and cultural values, and then set goals to maintain and enhance them.
