The Rotary Trail Expands

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. Five phases are complete, connecting 5th to 29th Street - a distance of over two and a half kilometres. The fifth phase connecting 26th to 29th Street was recently completed in October 2015. The City of Courtenay is working on the trail in partnership with the Island Corridor Foundation and the Courtenay Rotary Club. Additional funding has come from TELUS and the Government of Canada through the Gas Tax Fund. Courtenay Park Bookings
