The overall creation of this area has been in the works for a few years now and will continue to see improvements in the coming years making this a true sports zone where major sports and community celebrations can take place. Westwood Lake: One of Nanaimo’s premier park destinations has seen some major improvements over the last couple of years. Upgrades include increased accessibility, shade trees, improved recreation space, an expanded beach area, updated washrooms/changerooms, enhanced pedestrian and bike connections, an upgraded boat launch, the addition of seating and tables, green stormwater infrastructure and new public art. BMX Track: The Marie Davidson BMX Track has been improved in partnership with the Nanaimo BMX Association. The new facility features a new safety barrel start gate, a 5 metre start hill, as well as an amateur and professional race track. These improvements have made this Nanaimo gem one of the top destination race tracks in North America, and everyone is welcome to ride on it. Neck Point Park: Visitors to Neck Point Park may notice a shadier landscape thanks to recent restoration efforts. Over 45 new trees and 300 plants have been added near the parking lot and washroom building. This new vegetation is part of an ongoing initiative to restore the forest understory which has been impacted by off-trail foot traffic. Nestled among the newly planted areas is a whimsical Fairy “Welcome Tree” that replaces the beloved “Giving Tree” lost in a windstorm last year. Several fairy and gnome homes have also been refreshed with new walking paths made from windstorm debris. To help preserve the park’s natural beauty and environmental integrity, visitors are asked not to leave new fairy homes on trails or add non-organic materials such as glitter, plastic or artificial decorations to existing ones. This fall, the parking lot will be paved. Harewood Centennial Park: If you haven’t been to Harewood Centennial Park lately, you will hardly recognize it. Over the last few years, there have been upgrades to the playground, the addition of a skateboard park, a covered sport court and walking trails added, and most recently, the building of two artificial turf fields with new public art murals. This area has something for everyone! Beaufort Park: Basketball lovers will enjoy the renovated Beaufort Park sport courts. Accessed off Chelsea Street, these courts have been resurfaced with new sport amenities to attract youth and youth-at-heart to play. E&N Trail Expansion: South Nanaimo residents have likely noticed an expansion of the E & N Trail in the Fifth Street neighbourhood. Additional sections of soft surface trail are expected in the future to help connect neighbourhoods safely. This project is being completed as a partnership between South Rail, the Island Corridor Foundation and City of Nanaimo.
