Manitoba's parks are classified into one of the following types, as distinguished by The Provincial Parks Act: Wilderness, Natural, Recreation, and Heritage.[1]

Provincial Parks Act

The Provincial Parks Act is the key document outlining the management of Manitoba's provincial parks.

This legislation provides for parks to be dedicated for three purposes:[3]

  1. to conserve ecosystems and maintain biodiversity;
  2. to preserve unique and representative natural, cultural and heritage resources;
  3. to provide outdoor recreational and educational opportunities and experiences in a natural setting.

The legislation distinguishes several types of park, and each provincial park must be classified as one of these types:

  • Wilderness, "if the main purpose of the designation is to preserve representative areas of a natural region;"
  • Natural, "if the main purpose of the designation is both to preserve areas of a natural region and to accommodate a diversity of recreational opportunities and resource uses;"
  • Recreation, "if the main purpose of the designation is to provide recreational opportunities;"
  • Heritage, "if the main purpose of the designation is to preserve an area of land containing a resource or resources of cultural or heritage value;" and
  • "any other type of provincial park that may be specified in the regulation."
