I’d rather...
A local meeting spot for community members to visit daily. A place for special events and celebrations. Bring your family and dogs!
Located at a traveller’s hub, this place offers something memorable. With rarely-seen installations, themed events or just its own inherent charm, people visit from all over.
Building a framework upon which natural processes can thrive and be resilient, this park allows visitors to get a glimpse of BC flora, fauna, and marine life.
In colder months, this place has a charm all its own, whether it’s a winter activity or its calm beauty. At night, the park still bustles with activity. Local businesses and the park support one another.
Making the most of the natural setting, the park can facilitate a sense of serenity and refreshment, especially for stressed ferry travellers.
Located on a beautiful bay, there are many ways the park can be designed to express the ocean. A working waterfront, a marine habitat, a historic harbour village.
Six themesThrough site analysis, a stakeholder workshop and consultant studies, we have identified six themes that we consider important to represent in Horseshoe Bay Park.
These themes will form a vision that sets the direction for further design work. We won’t pick just one — the same space can express more than one theme.
Please tell us how strongly each concept resonates with you by adding a sticker to each, like so:
Or, add your own concepts below.
Next, check out the boards for each concept, and tell us which activities and features could best express it.
