Juan de Fuca Parks & Recreation Strategic Plan

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

The CRD is developing a strategic plan for community parks and recreation in the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (JdFEA).

The draft strategic plan is now available for public review and feedback. The plan will help guide acquisition and management priorities for the next 10 years.

In the JdFEA, we have:

  • 26 community park sites
  • 8.6 kilometres of trails
  • 6 water access sites (3 lake; 3 ocean)
  • 2 seasonal maintenance staff
  • An operating budget of approximately $200,000 per year

We can acquire land for community parks when a developer subdivides property. Under provincial legislation, developers are typically required to dedicate 5% of the land for parkland. In certain situations, developers may provide money instead of parkland so that we can acquire parkland in alternative locations. We may also accept parkland from other government agencies or by donation from private sources who wish to have it retained for park or preservation purposes.

Regional and provincial parks are not within the scope of this plan. Please visit https://getinvolved.crd.bc.ca/regional-parks-strategic-plan-update for details on the CRD's Regional Parks and Trails strategic plan update.
