Lewis Centre Landscaping and Hydro Box

New playgrounds are coming to Courtenay Parks late this summer! Look for playgrounds at The Ridge Park in the Buck- stone Development in South Courtenay (see map) and a playground update at the Sunrise Rotary Park on Dingwall & McIntyre. Both playgrounds will be installed by August 31, 2016. Call the Courtenay Parks Department for further information at 250-338-1525. The Lewis Centre has a great outdoor look thanks to the landscaping of Courtenay Parks staff and also an artist wrap hydro box designed by Tracy Kobus. Courtenay Parks staff designed the gardens that wrap around the front and the side of the Lewis Centre. The gardens represent local environments including a mountain top, beach front and woodland. The gardens are also designed to have four seasons of interest with winter fruit, colourful bark, small spring flowers and grasses. New Playgrounds coming to Courtenay

A priority of the Parks team was converting the gardens to low water use drip irrigation. To do this they received outstanding help from the Parks Utilities crew. The BC Hydro box located within the landscaped area received a transformation from Tracy Kobus. Kobus said a great deal of planning went into her choices for the artwork. “I created this design to fit in the surrounding natural landscaping, and also to be colourful and fun for kids to enjoy.”
