The public is being asked to provide feedback on a new strategic plan for two parks in west Courtenay.
An online survey is open until April 20 to help shape the future of Bill Moore Park and Dogwood Park. The plan will guide long-term improvements to ensure the parks remain welcoming, connected and accessible to a wide range of users.
Mayor Bob Wells said the parks are important gathering places in west Courtenay and the process is intended to gather input from residents.
“By working with the community, we can develop a long-term vision that protects the natural character of these parks while expanding inclusive recreational opportunities for residents of all ages.”
The first phase of engagement will include pop-up events and workshops aimed at understanding how residents use the parks and their priorities.
A second phase will develop draft concepts based on that input, which will be shared with the community through an open house and a second online survey.
Final feedback will be incorporated into the strategic plan.
The plan will guide future investment in both parks, with a focus on protecting natural features and supporting a range of recreational uses.
The survey can be found online here and paper copies will be available starting March 20 at City Hall, the Lewis Centre, the Florence Filberg Centre and the Courtenay Library.
