Parks Plan
Bowen Island’s parks, trails and beaches are valued places where meaningful connections to nature and to each other occur. Our island possesses diverse ecosystems. Our parks, trails and beaches provide habitat for wildlife and support the integrity of our natural assets.
The Bowen Island Parks Plan provides an updated community vision for municipal parks, trails and beaches. The goals, objectives and recommendations outlined in the Parks Plan provide a guide to ensure that the community’s priorities are achieved over the next ten years.
