Alcohol allowed zones
Alcohol may only be consumed by those aged 19+ within the boundaries of the permitted areas. To view the boundaries of the permitted areas in each park, visit the Park Amenities Map.
Alcohol consumption in these parks is permitted between 11:00 am until dusk, for those 19+. Organized gatherings require a Special Events Permit through the BC Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch. These locations all include washrooms.
Park User Responsibilities
Adults who choose to drink in the permitted parks are expected to manage their consumption, litter and act responsibly. All Public Health Orders as well as the provisions of the Provincial Liquor Control and Licensing Act must also be followed.
Please be responsible with your garbage and recycling and use appropriate bins for food and containers. Ideally, pack out what you pack in, and keep our public spaces clean for all to enjoy.
