Carnarvon Park Master Plan and Main Building
Oak Bay is home to many parks that hold close memories for families in our region. Carnarvon Park is one of those parks, serving as a pillar of the community.
The District of Oak Bay is looking to the long-term future of the park with a refresh of the Carnarvon Park Master Plan and Main Building design, and wants to hear from community members regarding programs, service levels and design.
Where we are today
Staff are preparing a grant application that is due on Oct 15, as well as working on the next phase of the technical report for Council. This follow-up report is expected to be presented at a public meeting in November.
