SCHOOL PARK USE

Before your next visit to a CVRD park or trail, we ask that you provide the details of your trip so that we can ensure you have the best experience possible!

The information received about your visit allows us to schedule maintenance around your activities where possible, notify you of any conflicts (i.e. construction, closures, events, etc.) and allows us to track park use so that we can adapt our service levels as needed. We appreciate your cooperation! 

Depending on your class's activities, please use the tabs below to determine what is required.
