Parksville Community Park
Parksville, BC
Parksville Community Park stretches across a sandy oceanfront setting with panoramic views of the Salish Sea and the distant snow-capped mountains of mainland British Columbia.
Nestled on the shores of Parksville Bay, Parksville Community Park is the area’s premier seaside gathering spot.
A sturdy boardwalk traces the shoreline, creating a scenic path for leisurely strolls, jogs, or sunset watching. With its charming gazebo and open green lawns, it’s also the perfect backdrop for relaxation, family outings, or working on your tan during sunny summer days.
Located just off Island Highway, the park offers easy access to local amenities yet feels tranquil as it extends toward the horizon. Inside, you’ll find vibrant spaces including a spacious playground, splash pad, water cannons, pickleball and volleyball courts, and mini-golf—all framed by lush lawns, picnic areas, and a scenic boardwalk hugging the coastline.
Visitors can expect a lively, family-friendly environment, especially between May and September, when summer sunshine and warm tides bring crowds to the sand and amenity areas. During this ideal season, the park buzzes with laughter, sandcastle enthusiasts, and food trucks lining the walkway. It’s also home to the world-famous Quality Foods Sand Sculpting Competition & Exhibition.
Even outside peak months, the park remains a beloved community hub—perfect for beach walks, fitness circuits, or taking in beautiful sunsets.
Whether you're seeking family fun, vibrant festivals, or quiet moments by the water, Parksville Community Park delivers a memorable coastal experience.
