CRD regional parks welcome over five million visitors every year. They’re a public good that belong to everyone, and providing equitable access is a priority for the Capital Regional District (CRD). CRD Regional Parks staff have captured and uploaded Google Street View imagery for the parking lots and day use areas of eight regional parks, as well as 20 km of park trails. Google Street View enables potential park visitors the opportunity to preview parking areas, day-use spaces and portions of trails to support informed trip planning and align park visits with their ability. Staff captured imagery using a 360° camera, and the images are stitched together by Google to create a virtual representation of the surroundings. Additional parks will be added over the coming year, and staff will continue expanding detailed accessibility information available on the CRD website!
