Help Plan for Play in PA!

With the community, the City of Port Alberni is creating its first Parks, Recreation & Culture (PRC) Master Plan!

Our City has many great recreation facilities, parks, trails, and programs that provide residents opportunities to be active and engaged. But change is on the horizon. The City's population is growing, our existing facilities are aging, and we need to be strategic about how best to invest in PRC services for the future. To support sustainable and transparent decisions, the City is working with the community to create a Parks, Recreation & Culture Master Plan.

The planning process is happening over the 3 phases (shown below). In each phase, there will be opportunities for your to participate through events, surveys, and other activities.

    The PRCMP is growing with your input! With a background report, Round 1 engagement summary, and a draft vision already complete, the project is now advancing through technical reviews and conversations with community groups.
