I love the Parksville Beach, I will drive over an hour monthly to visit this slice of paradise. It doesn't even matter what time of year it is. I love spending time at the beach or walking the board walk, taking my nieces to the playground or water park, seeing the sand castle competition in the summer. In the summer time they have car shows and festivals, volleyball tournaments, food trucks.

What a great place to visit. Great view of the water, walk along the beach or the walkway. And you hit the Community Park at the end.

Great park for kids of all ages! Big and lots of variety. You could spend hours here with the family. Don't miss it!

Beautiful beach. Stunning sunsets. Great playground for the kids. Lots of activities going on in the non-Covid summer. Great place to check out and spend some time. The boardwalk is a nice walk too.

The beach is lovely. Our younger children loved the play area. The food trucks were a nice addition to supplant our picnic. It’s also very central so that was handy as shopping us nearby.

It’s VERY busy. With all the childrens gear we took the car. There is limited parking.

It’s very busy as there is no other green space anywhere in town. Further out there is Rathtrevor but we stayed in town so we’re hoping to use local amenities, and try to walk as much as we could. We went walking, purchased some treats and could find no where to just sit for a few minutes, except a piece of wall. So surprised with the lack of anywhere to sit and enjoy a tree in town. Tons of new construction and apartments and we felt so sorry for the new residents, especially near Jensen and Port Alberni road. To us having some pocket green space is so essential and you find it in big cities. Not sure Parksville will be very desirable soon. Or perhaps there are plans. ( we did find some open space on Memorial but it’s not green or pleasant).

Qualicum is certainly a lot nicer so will stay there next summer.

We went for the winter wonderland and it was amazing. You can tell a lot of effort does into this. My kids love how they have the easy to use "things new skaters use to learn to skate, can not remember their name". It is a clean facility and always welcoming.

This park set in the center of Parksville along Highway 19 A is a lovely spot to walk along the boardwalk, swim during the warm weather and it holds many events throughout the year. One being the Sandcastle competition during the Summer. The Canada day events. There a big baseball field where teams play. This a popular spot for many locals as it tourist who come this way. Beautiful views looking over to the mainland.

The community park overlooking the beach was purchased and built by the Parksville community. That is impressive. There is an open gym which I used everyday of my trip. There are several Brant geese on the beach. The board walk is good and the peopl walking along are friendly and say hello to everyone. Lots of dogs adding to the community charm.

I have a young family, been going to parksville for 5 years now. Park is awesome. Huge play park for kids, a small water park(could use a revamp) and all on one of the nicest beaches on the island. I can sure tell there is a great sense of community in Parksville, the local grocery store gives away free ice cream or Popsicles everyday, We were lucky to be there on the sandcastle weekend which is free to compete and everyone gets an awesome goodie bag. We spend hours on the beach collecting shells and looking for crabs and sand dollars.

Lots to do at this park! We flew kites, walked the boardwalk, waded in the water, and sat and watched the sunset. Love this place!

Free parking, amazing views and friendly people. A little slice of heaven right off the Island Highway. What more could you ask for?
