Parks Service Alerts
NOTE: The SCRD is aware that people are continuing to use the closed bridges listed below. These bridges are not safe. Please obey the signage on site.
Work will begin on trail remediations and bridge replacements in Cliff Gilker Park in mid-April. This will result in trail closures.
The trails outlined in the map below will be temporarily closed on the weekend of April 10.
The access trail to Wreck Beach off Rosemary Lane on Keats Island is currently closed for use until a hazardous section of overhanging uphill slope can be remediated. This work will take place from January 9 to 16. Once completed, the trail will be re-opened for public use. The public is kindly requested to reframe from using this trail during construction to ensure public safety.
The Vinebrook Bridge, located on the Suncoaster Trail remains closed due to risk of imminent failure.
Trail users can re-route along HWY 101 to trail access points north and south of the Vinebrook Bridge section of the trail.
The Kleindale Bridge, located on the Suncoaster Trail remains closed due to user safety and a deteriorating bridge structure. Trail users can re-route along Highway 101 to the Lions Park trails to re-connect to the Suncoaster Trail.
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.
This bridge is scheduled for decommissioning in 2026 as part of the Chaster Park Access Improvements Project
