City of Parksville to undertake sprawling parks survey
PARKSVILLE – The City of Parksville is getting a helping hand from Vancouver Island University with a big project.
The university will be assisting city staff with an expansive Community Park Master Plan and Parks Survey.
The city sees more and more demand for events at their parks and don’t really have the room to accommodate all the requests. Mayor Marc Lefebvre says the community park is on the radar for an international sand sculpting event.
“I said this at council that the Beachfest had been asked to host the worlds here in Parksville,” said Lefebvre. “Well we’re not quite ready for that yet because that would entail quite a bigger area. It’s in the summer time and you’ve got the challenge of housing people and that sort of thing. Eventually that may come.”
