Celebrate Parks and Recreation Month by Giving Back to Local Parks and Trails

The Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) is inviting residents to celebrate Parks and Recreation Month this June by getting involved in a new Parks Volunteer Program.

The program offers a range of opportunities for individuals and groups to support the care and stewardship of SCRD parks and trails, including Adopt a Park, Adopt a Trail, invasive species removal, park clean-ups, and wildfire mitigation activities.

Volunteer opportunities are designed to be flexible and accessible, with both one-day events and longer-term commitments available. No prior experience is required, and training is provided.

Or maybe you have an idea to improve your local park or community space? The SCRD wants to help bring these ideas to life through the Community Led Initiative Program (CLIP), supporting community-driven projects that enhance local parks and public spaces.

CLIP enables community groups to lead park and recreation projects—from concept through construction and ongoing maintenance—while taking on primary responsibility for funding and delivery.

The SCRD supports these initiatives by providing guidance through planning, permitting, and approvals, helping bring community-driven ideas to life.
