The trail network at Medicine Hill / Paskapoo Slopes is being updated to better support existing trail use while protecting the park’s natural, cultural, and archaeological values.

The draft concept focuses on improving trail flow, clarifying routes, reducing user conflicts, and minimizing impacts on sensitive landscapes, while preserving the immersive, nature-based experience people value. All trails remain multi-use, supporting walking, running, biking, and winter activities. Changes to the network are targeted and intentional, balancing recreation with long-term stewardship of the land

Accessibility - Movement Considerations

While site topography limits universally accessible trails, the movement concept considers:

• Accessible arrival and orientation, including barrier-free parking, washrooms, and clear wayfinding to support informed route choices.
• Opportunities for a potential accessible experience node, where feasible, along the heritage/interpretive trail, supported by stabilized surfaces and nearby rest areas.
• Inclusive access to interpretation, through a combination of on-site accessible features and virtual option

What this means for park users

• All trails remain multi‑use, including walking, running, biking, and winter use
• Existing high‑use routes are retained, with targeted improvements to flow and connections
• Easier walking loops are provided that avoid private land where possible
• The park will continue to support year‑round use, while protecting sensitive ecological areas
• The park will remain a natural area with no interior lighting, limited lighting may be considered at select access points along park edges
