The City of Parksville invites residents and all users of the Parksville Community Park to provide ideas and feedback about the new gathering plaza in the community Park, including how they use the space and how they would like it to be used in the future.
Major improvements and upgrades to amenities in the Parksville Community Park were completed earlier this year and the spaces are being used extensively by the public, according to a news release by the city.
"We listened to concerns from park users who will now be better served with the new washroom building, improved accessible connections throughout the park, upgraded sports courts, new fencing at the sand volleyball courts, the new gathering space and improved drop off areas," the release said. "We understand public spaces are important for community engagement, relaxing and socializing."
The city hopes the survey will allow it to learn from visitors how the new gathering plaza space is being used and how it could be used in the future.
Whether it's adding more greenery, organized events, or seating options, the city wants to hear feedback from park users.
"Participating in this survey is a voice in ensuring the gathering plaza space continues to be a vibrant, inviting, and inclusive space that enhances quality of life and fosters a sense of community," the release said.
Let’s Talk Parksville has information about the recent Parksville Community Park upgrades.
The survey is available from the city’s website and Let’s Talk Parksville, and is open until Oct. 14. Paper copies are available from city offices.
