Rotary Skypark Accessible Playground Set to Open

Grand Opening Monday, September 13 at 5:30 pm

The public is invited to the grand opening of the Rotary Skypark universally accessible playground on Mansfield Drive, right beside the scenic Courtenay Riverway.  

The park equipment includes a rotating net, arch swing, wheelchair accessible merry-go-round, see-saw, diggers and spinners. Due to its location just south of the Courtenay Airpark, the Rotary Skypark has an airplane theme, with an airplane climber, and a gazebo that kids can pretend is their very own air-traffic control tower.  

A recycled rubber tire surface over the entire park ensures that everyone can get to each station, partially funded by a grant from Tire Stewardship BC. Unlike traditional sand or bark mulch playground surfaces, this surface is wheelchair accessible. It can also be cleaned.  

This project was made possible with months of planning and hard work by the Rotary Club of Strathcona Sunrise, the Comox Valley Community Foundation, other local Rotary clubs and the business community, including thousands of dollars worth of money, time and materials.

The grand opening festivities will be the first opportunity for the public to try out the equipment, as well as enjoy a hotdog and refreshments. For more information, contact the City of Courtenay at 250-334-4441.
