A provincial park (or territorial park) is a park administered by one of the provinces of a country, as opposed to a national park. They are similar to state parks in other countries. They are typically open to the public for recreation. Their environment may be more or less strictly protected.




Argentina


Provincial parks (Spanish: Parques Provinciales) in the Misiones Province of Argentina include the Urugua-í Provincial Park and Esmeralda Provincial Park.
The Ischigualasto Provincial Park, also called Valle de la Luna ("Valley of the Moon" or "Moon Valley") due to its otherworldly appearance, is a provincial protected area in the north-east of San Juan Province, north-western Argentina.
The Aconcagua Provincial Park is in Mendoza Province. The highest point is the north summit of the Cerro Aconcagua at 6,962 metres (22,841 ft).

Belgium



Provincial parks in Belgium (Dutch: provinciale domeinen, French: domaines provinciaux) include Bois des Rêves, Chevetogne, Hélécine, Palogne, and Wégimont.
These are typically public areas administered by the province for outdoor recreation such as swimming, canoeing, hiking and camping, with few or no fully protected portions.




Canada


Provincial parks in Canada are protected areas of land and/or water designated by one of the provincial governments to protect nature or historical sites and to support recreation, tourism and education.
The first provincial park, Queen Victoria Park in Niagara Falls, opened in 1888.
The largest is the 2,355,200-hectare (5,820,000-acre) Polar Bear Provincial Park on Hudson Bay.
Although provincial parks in Canada are not the same as national parks, their structures and purposes are very similar. The provincial and territorial parks systems generally have various park categories. Parks may be ecological reserves without facilities for use by the general public, day use parks or recreational parks that offer many services to visitors, often including bicycle, canoe, or kayak rentals, camping sites, hiking trails and beaches.
In the province of Quebec, the provincial parks are labelled "national parks" and are all IUCN category II protected areas (like at the federal level, and as opposed to many provincial parks), and are managed by Société des établissements de plein air du Québec. Many parks in the other provinces have the IUCN designation.
