Description
Centennial Park Plaza has
been identified as the next phase of park upgrades in the 20-year Park Master
Plan.
Work in this phase of park
upgrades began in 2022 and included detailed designs to replace the park plaza
and install lighting.
This latest series of upgrades
includes:
- removal
and replacement of existing park concrete and brick paver, and
- additional
drainage, lighting, landscaping, and furnishings.
Existing trees inside and
along the plaza are to be retained.
Previously completed work to
upgrade the park includes site assessment, central drainage, replacement of the
washroom facility, and playground replacement.
The
Capital Regional Districts (CRD) Salt Spring Island (SSI) Parks, Arts,
Recreation & Culture (PARC) department received $561,748 in grant funding
from Pacific Economic Development Canada (PEDC) to complete the additional
upgrades to Centennial Park.
Salt Spring Island Parks, Arts, Recreation & Culture (SSIPARC) services and facilities are overseen by the Salt Spring Island Local Community Commission (LCC).
