Maffeo Sutton Park Master Plan Update

The original Maffeo Sutton Park Improvement Plan was developed in 2008 with significant input from the community. The Maffeo Sutton Park Spirit Square opened in 2009 and was part of the first phase of park improvements; however, since 2008, the park and downtown waterfront has changed. In 2011, the park expanded by 2.3 acres with addition of 150 Comox Road to the park system. Also, since approval of the 2008 park plan, the City of Nanaimo adopted a Corporate Strategic Plan and begun development negotiations on key properties adjacent to the park. Given these contextual changes, Council endorsed a planning process to update the Maffeo Sutton Improvement Plan.
