Parksville Community Park

A beautifully open and very clean space with large shade trees, grassy areas, picnic tables and a large sandy beach. When the tide is in you can walk around the bay in the water and it is no deeper than your waist. There is also a splash area where water shoots up from different spouts, great fun to watch the kids try and dodge the geysers but even more fun for the kids is the amazing playgrounds with brightly painted structures to play on including an airplane shaped monkey bar. There are swings and a sheltered picnic area. There are sandy floored washrooms and rinse showers, volleyball courts but the best part of the island experience are the warm and friendly people. I guess living in a beautiful spot like Vancouver Island makes it easy to be kind.

Parksville is beautiful. And the sandcastle sculpture festival was great - lots of super talented designers and awesome sculptures...right beside the beach.

What a beautiful park! This park also leads down to the beautiful beach. These few pics were taken from my 1st visit in the summer of 2019 for their annual Sand Sculptures competition. The theme was Myths & Legends. I’m sorry I didn’t take pictures of the whole park, but it is very clean, has stuff for the children, tables, and a building with washrooms.

The beach was beautiful! Lots of fun walking through the shallow waters playing with crabs, finding sand dollars, and oyster shells. Beach volleyball tournament was an added bonus!

Fantastic park for all ages of kids. Small water park and beach access. Great spot for families. There are washrooms (under construction summer 2023 so lots of porta-potties), food trucks, picnic tables and places to lay a blanket.

There is so much to do for the whole family. Walking dogs, beach, exercise equipment, playground, tennis courts and skatepark. Food trucks in the summer it is wonderful.
