Widgeon Marsh Regional Park Reserve – Park Plan Underway

The following events are being organized by Metro Vancouver

Did you know that Widgeon Marsh Regional Park Reserve sits on the largest freshwater marsh in southwest BC? It’s also got spectacular waterfront views. There’s currently no public access to the site, but we’d like to change that.

Metro Vancouver is developing a regional park management plan that aims to give people opportunities to connect with nature in Widgeon Marsh, while protecting the site’s sensitive wetlands and ecosystems. A park plan will determine how public use and facilities can be accommodated.

Located along the Pitt River in northeast Coquitlam, Widgeon Marsh Regional Park Reserve protects over 620 hectares of wetlands and woodlands. Limited access for research and educational purposes requires a Special Use Permit from Metro Vancouver.

Public engagement is underway for a regional park management plan for Widgeon Marsh. The plan will ensure the continued protection of sensitive wetlands and ecosystems, and will identify opportunities for visitors to connect with nature.
