Beginning Friday, Dec. 19, 2025, people will need to reserve a vehicle day-use pass to visit Mount Seymour Park during the winter.

The passes will be required daily until Jan. 4, 2026. After that, passes will be required only on weekends and holidays until March 29, 2026. Passes are not required after 4 p.m. People with a valid Mount Seymour ski resort pass do not require a BC Parks day-use pass.

Starting at 7 a.m. two days prior to a planned visit, day-use passes can be booked online: https://reserve.bcparks.ca/dayuse/

Located in North Vancouver, Mount Seymour Park provides views of Vancouver and facilities for skiing, snowshoeing, tubing and tobogganing. Each year, approximately one million people visit the park. The limited number of passes provide a more predictable and enjoyable experience by reducing congestion in the busy areas.

The passes will be checked by parks staff who will also provide safety information to visitors. Since cellphone service may be limited, people will need to print or have a screenshot of their pass and QR code on their mobile device before arriving at the park. Cancelling passes is encouraged if people do not intend to use them.

The BC Parks Day-Use Pass Program aims to preserve the natural and cultural values of Indigenous Peoples, and deliver high-quality recreation experiences in some of the province’s most popular parks, including Mount Seymour. Day-use passes and traffic management have been used since 2020 to help improve people’s experiences in the North Shore mountains. Setting daily limits on visitor use is one way the Province, park operators, volunteers and visitors work together to care for parks and ensure people can continue enjoying these places safely and securely.
