What's New with Salt Spring Island Parks and Recreation
Facility Closure
To support community health and prevent the spread of COVID-19, The Salt Spring Island Parks and Recreation Commission (PARC) has directed staff to close the recreation facility at 5pm today, March 17th. All PARC Recreation programs and services will cease until further notice with the exception of Spring Break Camps which will remain in operation until 5pm, Friday, March 20th, 2020, pending additional direction from the Province. However, we encourage parents to make other child care arrangements and expect that day camps could close at any time.
Please note that PARC will not accept any new registrations for spring break camps. We recognize many families and individuals rely on our recreation programs and services, and we ask for your patience while we continue to determine next steps as more information is made available. Credits will be issued for programs and activities affected by the closure. CRD staff will automatically apply the appropriate credit to your account. There is no need to contact us to cancel. Membership passes will be extended. We are committed to keeping you updated as this situation evolves. For more information about the CRD’s response to COVID-19, please visit www.crd.bc.ca/covid

Centennial Park Playground Replacement
Planning has now begun to replace the playground at Centennial Park. The Salt Spring Island Parks and Recreation Commission (PARC) has adopted a 20 year Master Plan to prioritize infrastructure investments for Centennial Park. With site assessments and central drainage complete planning can begin to replace the playground. This much needed replacement project was made possible thanks in part to a $100,000 donation from the Salt Spring Island Lions Club.
