Fish Creek Provincial Park is one of the largest urban parks in Canada and communities with thousands of homes surround it. It protects a variety of natural habitats home to hundreds of species of plants and animals. Approximately 3 million people visit the park each year.  With so many visitors and activities and an urban setting, Fish Creek Provincial Park deals with many issues other parks do not face. However, the management of all parks is about balance.  Natural and cultural resources must be protected with visitors having opportunities to experience and appreciate Fish Creek Provincial Park.
