Cliff Gilker Park Recovery Project

Work will get under way in Spring 2026 on bridge and trail remediation at Cliff Gilker Park.

Many of us on the Sunshine Coast will remember the major flooding event that took place at the end of 2021. One of the hardest hit areas within the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) was Cliff Gilker Park, with two popular pedestrian bridges severely damaged along with several sections of trail completely flooded.

The bridges have been out of action since then, and sections of the trails in the park are showing signs of wear and tear and have continued to slowly erode with each heavy rain. The other two existing bridges are also in rough shape and need to be replaced.

The SCRD is currently working alongside Sunshine Coast Community Forest on two replacement bridges and also on upgrades to other parts of the park including boardwalks and trails.
