Park stewardship

Help look after Surrey parks

Surrey’s parks are for everyone—now and for future generations. Let’s work together to keep them healthy and beautiful!

  • Stay on trails and open lawns. Protect plants and wildlife by sticking to marked paths. Leave flowers, berries, and natural items as you found them.
  • Take your waste with you. Pack out all garbage and recyclables. Please don’t leave unnatural items in the park.
  • Respect wildlife. Watch from a distance. Never feed animals or disturb their nests—keeping them wild keeps them safe.
  • Protect our waterways. Avoid stepping in creeks or making new trails to water. Disturbing streambeds can harm fish and their eggs.
  • Leash your dog. Unless in a designated off-leash area, keep your dog leashed to protect wildlife and other park visitors.
  • Prevent the spread of invasive plants. Dispose of yard waste properly in your organic cart, not in parks.

Thank you for being a park steward and helping protect Surrey’s natural spaces!
