Island 22 Regional Park Closure

June 29, 2022

Due to high water levels, Island 22 Regional Park will be closed effective Thursday, June 30 for all public use except for commercial fishing guides. On June 30, a barrier will be installed at Young Road which will indicate local traffic only. Commercial Guides will be able to access the boat launch between 7 am and 5 pm by providing proof of a Commercial Guiding License.

The Provincial River Forecast Centre is projecting the Fraser River to continue to rise over the weekend. Many areas of the park are seeing flooding including the dog off-leash area, equestrian area, and the boat launch which are expected to see further flooding. The closure is for the safety of the public as the park is unsafe due to fast-moving water and unstable banks. The Parks team will continue to monitor water levels and will reopen as soon as it is safe.

Any questions regarding park access can be sent to parks@fvrd.ca.
