October programs


Join us in the parks this October as fall settles in. The leaves are changing, the air is crisp, and the season brings plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore. Come enjoy the colours of autumn, get active, and make the most of October in the parks!

Spooktacular: a night in the park


Saturday, October 24 | 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Mission Creek Regional Park

The park takes on a spooky glow after dark! Come in costume and explore Mission Creek’s dimly lit trails, where spooky scenes, creepy creatures, glowing pumpkins and Halloween surprises await around every corner. A family-friendly evening of Halloween fun in the park.

Evening adventures


Evenings are made for exploring! Join us in the parks as the day cools down for night hikes and nature exploration. As the sun sets, a different side of the park comes to life. Discover the parks from a whole new perspective this fall.

November programs


Enjoy the quieter side of the season in November. Explore regional parks through guided hikes, wildlife walks and outdoor experiences that embrace the changing season and cooler weather.

December programs


As the days grow shorter and the landscape settles into the quiet beauty of the season, discover new ways to get outdoors and connect with nature. From guided hikes to creative workshops, there’s something for everyone to enjoy the magic of winter.
