Residents of the Town of Comox are invited to share their ideas for the future of parks and trails.

Ideas received will help shape the Comox鈥檚 first Parks and Trails Master Plan, guiding how the town improves its parks and trails over the next decade and beyond.

鈥淎s Comox continues to grow, it鈥檚 important we consider community needs, emerging trends, and opportunities to provide high-quality parks, active outdoor recreation and trail experiences for our residents to enjoy,鈥� said Comox Mayor Nicole Minions.

The initial phase of engagement is focused on gathering ideas from the community, including how residents use Comox parks and trails today and their ideas for an inclusive and sustainable future network. The initial input will inform the draft directions to be explored in phase 2 of the process planned for later this summer.

Throughout the next month, residents can share their input by dropping in at the open house on April 11, from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. at d鈥橢sterre Seniors鈥� Centre or watch for pop-up events in parks and community places throughout April.
