Lewis Centre Landscaping and Hydro Box
Did you know that Courtenay has a new Parks Interactive Map?
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.

location
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.”
