Parksville Wetlands Engagement - Phase Two Survey

SURVEY IS NOW CLOSED.

September 13, 2023

For the past five months, the City has been working with ISL Engineering and Land Services to support the development of a park management plan for the Parksville Wetlands. This fifteen-year, comprehensive plan will serve as a blueprint for future park planning and development as well as the ongoing management and maintenance of the wetlands.

We have completed the first phase of engagement with an open house and survey in June. Phase two engagement for the wetlands included the Popup in the Park open house today and to continue engagement with residents, we are asking for participation in a second survey open until October 16.

Prior to participating in this survey, please review the information provided at the Popup in the Park open house, now available on Let’s Talk Parksville. We are excited to share with our residents, the park concept plan highlighting proposed future habitat improvements, path connections and supportive infrastructure including direction and guidance on the types, locations, uses, and activities within different parts of the park. We look forward to receiving your feedback on the concept plan and park management plan.

The survey may be accessed directly from this LINK(External link), from Let’s Talk Parksville and the City’s website(External link). Paper copies will be provided should that be a preferred method to complete the survey.

The draft concept plan for the wetlands will show natural and built enhancements in the park and will include the type, layout, and extent of the proposed features. These enhancements will be informed by planned ecological improvements as well as anticipated visitor use, circulation, and accessibility requirements in the park.
