Improved recreation amenities for Parksville-Qualicum region being probed
PARKSVILLE — The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) is taking a look at what the future could hold for recreation facilities and programs in the Oceanside region.
A survey has been launched by the RDN to see where the public stands on future infrastructure and programs, as the organization creates a Recreation Services Master Plan for District 69.
Manager of recreation services for the RDN, Dean Banman, said they want to narrow down a few concepts that have been discussed for a while now, including the possible expansion of Ravensong Aquatic Centre, among other ideas.
“Whether there’s a need for an outdoor multi-sport complex in Oceanside, which could be anything from an artificial field…to a rubberized track surface, to some stadium grandstand that would host some sport tourism events.”
