Fish Creek Provincial Park Trails Master Plan

Official title: Fish Creek Provincial Park trails engagement

Closed Community Planning Environment & Climate Transportation
Alberta gathered feedback on improving trails in Fish Creek Provincial Park, Canada's second-largest urban park. The consultation asked about trail connectivity, safety, signage, and protecting natural and cultural features. Feedback was collected in May-June 2021 and will shape the park's Trails Master Plan.

Why This Matters

Use Fish Creek's trails for walking, jogging, or cycling? This plan will shape how the park's 100+ kilometers of paths are maintained and improved. If you've ever gotten lost on a trail or wished for better signage, this affects you.

What Could Change

The Trails Master Plan could add new trail connections, remove duplicate paths, and improve signage throughout the park. Some trails may be rerouted to protect sensitive habitat. New maps and wayfinding systems could make navigation easier.

Key Issues

  • How can trail connectivity and accessibility be improved?
  • What gaps exist in the current trail network?
  • How should mapping and signage be improved for users?
  • How can new trails protect critical habitat and cultural features?

What Happened

Albertans provided feedback through an online survey, interactive places map, and Q&A tool from May 17 to June 14, 2021. Stakeholders also participated in virtual sessions. The feedback will be used to finalize the Fish Creek Provincial Park Trails Master Plan.
