Pacific Spirit Regional Park, including Wreck Beach, are natural treasures and we’re fortunate to be located just steps away from them. Here's what we can do to enjoy them safely and responsibly:

- Follow the opening and closing times to ensure your own safety and the safety of others.
- Refrain from playing loud and amplified music so that fellow park goers can enjoy nature’s own soundtrack.
- Carry your garbage and recycling out.
- No alcohol consumption, as it’s not permitted.
