Public engagement open!

October 28, 2024

We are excited to announce that the Peace River Regional District (PRRD) is kicking off a design study for Spencer Tuck Regional Park! This study aims to identify enhancements to safety, accessibility and overall appeal at the park. As part of this effort, we'll also be looking at the park's boat launch to see whether the best course of action is repair or replacement. Once the study is done, we'll create a plan to meet the needs of park visitors and other interested groups.

What the Study Covers

We’re looking at:

• Traffic flow
• Parking
• Washrooms
• Boat launch access
  
  

How to Participate

• Online Survey: Share your thoughts with us.
• In-Person Open House: Drop by Moberly Lake Elementary School (6531 Lakeshore Drive) on November 16 from 1pm to 3pm.

Our Commitment

The PRRD is dedicated to working together with local partners, park neighbours and interest groups, including First Nations, to ensure a collaborative and inclusive planning process.

Spencer Tuck Regional Park is a charming 5.18-hectare spot on the north side of Moberly Lake, about 32 km north of Chetwynd. The lake itself stretches 14 km with a 41 km shoreline. This day-use park offers five (5) fire pits and picnic tables, an outhouse, short walking trails and the only public boat launch on the lake's north side. It's especially popular in summer.

The park is bordered by private properties, with a transportation right of way running through it. Since 2023, the park has been closed during winter months.

Where is Spencer Tuck Regional Park?

Spencer Tuck Regional Park is a 5.18-hectare property owned by the Peace River Regional District (PRRD), situated on the north side of Moberly Lake, about 32 km north of Chetwynd. Moberly Lake spans about 14 km and has a shoreline of roughly 41 km.

View the park map.

What are the goals of the project?

The PRRD is creating a design study to improve Spencer Tuck Regional Park. This will examine challenges such as traffic flow, parking, washrooms and boat launch access. It will also evaluate whether the boat launch needs repairs or replacement. After completing the study, a plan will be developed to address the current and future needs of park visitors and other interest groups.

Whose input will be considered and how can I provide input?

We're seeking feedback from the public, community groups and park neighbours to make sure our design study and proposed improvements meet everyone's needs.

Here's how you can participate:

• Take our online survey

• Come to our in-person open house on November 19 at Moberly Lake Elementary from 1pm to 3pm

• Join one of our two virtual open house events on November 19 and 23 (more information under Key Dates)

We'll also be talking to park interest groups to gather their thoughts.
