Aldergrove Regional Park Management Plan
The process to create a park management plan for Aldergrove Regional Park with public involvement is underway. Join us to learn more about the park, and share your ideas on what you think the park should include.

Results from the November 2011 Working Session, June 2011 Open House, and input from the "A Day in the Park" Event held June 2, 2012 and Open House #2 held September 2012, will inform the development of the concept plan, currently underway.

The management plan will set up a policy framework that helps to express a common understanding of the park’s future (vision, goal & objectives), identify opportunities and constraints for various park uses, make management intentions transparent, and the decisions of staff and management accountable.

The draft concept for the Park Management Plan presented at the September 2012 Open House and online was broadly supported by participants. We are currently working to refine the the draft concept, confirming feasibility and completeing review with various agencies, First Nations, City of Abbotsford and Township of Langley. Stay tuned for further updates!

Thanks for your interest and participation.
