Courtenay Recreation

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 new Artificial Turf Field located at GP Vanier. Please note that only limited spaces are available. The Rotary Trail is a hard-surface gravel “rail with trail” along the E & N rail corridor in Courtenay. The first three phases connect 5th to 21 Street - a distance of over one kilometre. A fourth phase has just been completed connecting 21st to 26th Street. This part of the trail goes through the scenic Bill Moore Park. The Rotary Trail is a partnership between the Island Corridor Foundation, Courtenay Rotary Club, and the City of Courtenay. The Island Corridor Foundation’s goal is to expand multi- purpose use of the rail corridor. Their long-term goal is a trail along the entire length of the rail corridor.
