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: 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." == List of provincial parks ==
