Comox Valley Parks

With the summer quickly approaching kids and adults alike will be spending much more time at local parks.

The Comox Valley has numerous parks offering a wide variety of services ranking from sports facilities for Tennis, Basketball, Soccer and Baseball, to picnic areas, playgrounds, hiking trails, and more.

To help visitors discover the parks available in the Comox Valley, we have added a new “Comox Valley Parks” section to our site. This section will be expanded on and is still underway, but much information is already posted for both Courtenay and Comox Parks.

If you have any suggestions or comments, care to write some content or send some photos for various local parks, we will gladly review and post anything appropriate.
