Courtenay’s Woodcote Park is undergoing upgrades, and the community space is closed for a few weeks.
City crews are replacing the park’s more than 25-year-old irrigation system, which officials say no longer meets modern water efficiency standards. A new electric system is being installed, and additional drainage is expected to improve field conditions during wet weather.
The existing playground is also being removed to make way for a replacement, scheduled to be completed by late fall.
The park is set to reopen September 20. However, the field will remain closed until October 17 to allow new grass to establish along the irrigation lines.
