2024 BC Parks Visitor Satisfaction Survey
Information about 2024 BC Parks Visitor Satisfaction Survey:
Have you visited a BC Park recently? Whether you camped, hiked, biked, boated, or got up to something else, we want to hear from you.
BC Parks is committed to protecting and managing the province’s diverse wilderness for future generations, and providing high-quality, safe, outdoor recreation opportunities.
To help achieve this goal, BC Parks conducted annual visitor satisfaction surveys from the 1980s until 2019. In 2023, after an in-depth review of the historic program, BC Parks relaunched the survey with an updated questionnaire. In 2024, we’re running the survey again with a few improvements based on your feedback from last year and some new questions targeting our marine visitors. Going forward, we are committed to conducting the visitor satisfaction survey at regular intervals.
Why engage?
Our goal is to better understand the experiences of residents and visitors who use parks across the province. Through this survey, we hope to learn more about who is visiting parks, what activities they enjoy while visiting, what they like about parks, and where there is room for improvement. This information will be used to support future decision-making, training, and funding for facilities, trails, and other initiatives.
Who can participate?
This survey is open to all members of the public who have recently visited a BC Park – frontcountry, backcountry, marine and day use visitors are all encouraged to participate. The survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience!
Timeline
The survey will be open from May 17, 2024 to September 16, 2024.
