South Courtenay Riverway Extension is Open

Courtenay Recreation coordinates the use of all parks and school playing fields located in the City of Courtenay. Field Closures: Fields may be closed due to weather conditions. We would appreciate your cooperation in not using the fields during these times. Courtenay Recreation also books the Artificial Turf Field located at GP Vanier. Please note that only limited spaces are available. Phase 1 of the South Courtenay Riverway Trail Extension, between Millard and Beachwood Road, was completed in December, 2020. The eventual goal of the project is to connect the existing Riverway Trail network with the Royston Seaside Trail. This phase is on the site of a railway corridor owned by the City and is unique in that the majority of this section is bordered by private property on either side, including along the waterfront. Trail users are asked to respect private property and not trespass on these private lands. The corridor boundary is clearly marked by a low rail and signage. The nearest beach access is at Millard Road. For project updates visit: courtenay.ca/riverwayextension Courtenay Park Bookings
