 It’s going to be a busy few months for upgrades in several RDCO regional and community parks.
 
After the Labour Day weekend, the regional district says that crews will begin several projects to improve local parks.
 


On Sept. 8, 2020, construction is scheduled to begin on a new picnic shelter in Westshore Estates Community Park serving residents of the North Westside communities. The project is estimated  to take about a week and a half to complete.
 
Once that structure has been installed, crews will remove and replace existing picnic structures first in Traders Cove Regional Park, then in Raymer Bay Regional Park.
 
The cost of these three new picnic shelters is $235,000.  
 
The Westshore park shelter is funded by the Canada-BC Gas Tax program.
 
Additionally, the week of Sept. 14, the old playground at Bertram Creek Regional Park will be removed and replaced with a modern play structure.  
 
It will take about one week to complete the installation and the playground area will be closed until the new equipment is in place.  This project is estimated at $72,000.
