A pair of Metro Vancouver mayors are worried that restrictions on popular regional and provincial parks are forcing smaller community parks to bear a larger, less physically distanced, load. "It would make… better sense to try and spread people out a little bit more rather than making sure there's almost nobody at the provincial parks," said Stewart. BC Parks says between 2,700 and 3,000 people got day passes for the six parks in the first four days of the program. BC Parks says that for some of its most popular parks, Golden Ears and Stawamus Chief, they are issuing all daily passes by early-mid morning. (Discover Camping)BC Parks says managing the number of visitors in popular parks through free day passes keeps parks safe for everyone to enjoy.
