Upgraded Union Bay playground opens to the community

An updated area for children to play outdoors is now open in the Comox Valley.

The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) and the Union Bay Community Club (UBCC) announced the new Union Bay playground is now open to the public.

CVRD Area A Director Daniel Arbour said he’s thrilled to see the new playground completed.

“This project is a true collaboration between the Union Bay Community Club and the CVRD, and I look forward to investing more in Area A recreation amenities.

Work began in 2023 on replacing the previous Union Bay playground as it was determined to need a replacement.

The UBCC received grant funding support from the Electoral Area A Baynes Sound Community Works Fund and the CVRD’s Parks service.

Union Bay Community Club Board Member and Playground Project Manager Jenny Sagan said they’re grateful for the CVRD’s support in making their vision a reality.

“We anticipate the playground being enjoyed by local families for many years to come.”
