Revitalizing Horseshoe Bay Park

The District is working to revitalize Horseshoe Bay Park and create a gathering space for residents and visitors alike. The goal is to create a free-flowing, connected park space from the Horseshoe Bay Pier all the way to the BC Ferries terminal.

March 2022 update

Phase 1 work began in mid-February, 2022, and will take approximately one year to complete.

Temporary no-parking signs will be posted in two of the angle parking stalls on the north side of Bay Street, adjacent to the washroom building to allow construction access and egress to the park. If there are anticipated parking or traffic impacts related to the project, every effort will be made to provide notice through this project page.

The park washrooms are currently open and accessible to the public. When the washrooms are closed for demolition later in the project, there will be temporary, public portable toilets on the east side of the park, close to Keith Road.

All work will comply with fisheries and archeological permits and is anticipated to take approximately one year to complete.

Highlights of the proposed park improvements:

• Continuous waterfront path
• Improved park lighting
• Better access to beach and water
• Picnic shelter
• Large open lawn
• More seating opportunities
• New playground
• Updated public washroom, featuring a design inspired by coastal shed buildings and our native salmon

We are excited to share the park concept design with you!

The design captures ideas you shared with us at the last public meeting (in 2017) and in the previous survey (in January 2018).

Combined with input from the volunteer Horseshoe Bay Advisory Group, the updated park design features changes that address the needs of many park users.

The design is featured on page 5 of the document, however, we suggest you take a browse through all of the boards from the public meeting for a review of the:

• past consultation feedback
• site opportunities and challenges
