That's a wrap: Irving Nature Park and La Dune de Bouctouche wrap up season with over 560,000 visitors

We're wrapping up another season of sunshine and salty air at two of New Brunswick's favourite nature destinations: the Irving Nature Park and La Dune de Bouctouche. 

This summer La Dune de Bouctouche welcomed a record-breaking 201,000 guests, while 360,000 visitors explored the trails, beaches and boardwalk of the Irving Nature Park. Whether it was escaping the heat, chasing the tides, hiking the trails or just soaking in the views, people came to slow down and enjoy nature while making lasting memories.

The parks buzzed with activity and connection all summer, from family picnics and spontaneous beach days to guided programs and quiet wildlife spotting. We're proud to offer these spaces where people can unplug, recharge and discover the gift of New Brunswick's natural beauty.

Both parks are now officially closed. Services and facilities will halt until the spring when we reopen for another year. 

Until then, thank you to everyone who made this summer one to remember. We'll see you next year – same trails, same beaches, new adventures. 

Thank you to thebeauphoto for the beautiful picture of La Dune de Bouctouche.
