The Capital Regional District (CRD) Salt Spring Island (SSI) Parks and Recreation Commission (PARC) is developing a 20-year master plan for the Portlock Park site. This project was identified as a priority in the 2019 Salt Spring Island Parks and Recreation Strategic Plan in response to the community’s desire for increased access to recreation facilities and infrastructure development for additional playing fields on Salt Spring Island.
The site master plan will inform a phased capital planning approach for new facilities and program amenities based on input provided from First Nations, key stakeholders, and the public.
The first round of public engagement with key stakeholders and a public survey is now complete and feedback has been compiled to develop three draft conceptual designs.
A second community survey concluded on September 29, 2023, gathering public opinion on three conceptual designs for Portlock Park. Feedback from that consultation has been compiled to develop one draft master plan that will be presented to key stakeholders for comment.
Feedback received on the draft master plan was mixed between user groups with the removal of the oval track of particular concern. The Local Community Commission (LCC) reviewed the draft master plan and heard from concerned users before referring the draft master plan back to staff for further consideration.
Additional consultation with key stakeholders including baseball, soccer, pickleball and track users has now been completed and a revised final draft of the Portlock Park Master Plan has been prepared for “Final Thoughts”. The updated Portlock Park Site Master Plan and the revised Rainbow Recreation Site Master Plan are on display at the Rainbow Road Recreation Centre lobby and Portlock Park. Any additional feedback received will be presented to the LCC for final consideration.
You can provide your feedback to saltspring@crd.bc.ca . Handwritten feedback can also be submitted at the display located in the Rainbow Recreation Centre lobby. We will be asking for feedback online or in person from September 25 to October 25th 2024.
