Project Update

Work on the Gabriola Skatepark in Huxley Community Park began on September 15.

A number of trees need to be removed to accommodate the new skatepark. This work will take place from September 15 to September 21. During tree removal work, the whole park will be closed to the public to ensure everyone’s safety.

The wood from the trees being removed will be donated to the local Lions Club for their firewood program. A minimum of two replacement trees for each tree removed will be planted in a local community park in 2022.

After September 21, construction work will continue and a portion of the park will re-open for public use. The playground, tennis court, and sport court areas will be accessible to the public. The parking lot will be closed for the duration of the project.

Occasional traffic disruptions may occur during construction. Please exercise caution and obey all signage placed in the area for your safety.
