Visitors to Witty’s Lagoon Regional Park in Metchosin should prepare for additional trail disruptions this week as the Capital Regional District conducts maintenance work. The regional government has announced that crews will be on site at the Tower Point area on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, to chip materials, which may cause minor, temporary trail closures.
This upcoming maintenance coincides with an existing, long-term closure at the park. A section of the Beach Trail has remained closed since December 11, 2025, following a land slip caused by wet weather. Restoration work at that site is currently underway.
According to the regional district, the Beach Trail is expected to reopen fully by mid-May 2026. Hikers can anticipate intermittent access to the trail during non-working hours beginning May 1.
Park officials are urging all visitors to respect posted signage and stay out of restricted areas for safety reasons. The public is encouraged to check the official alerts page for the most current information before heading out to the park.
