Town of View Royal DRAFT Sample Parks Sign Strategy for View Royal Park

Draft Sample Park Sign Strategy for View Royal Park

This document is intended to illustrate how signage in parks could be implemented in View Royal. The strategy borrows heavily from the City of Victoria's parks wayfinding system. Please note that this is not intended to be a comprehensive illustration of View Royal Park's facilities but rather intended to illustrate some of the sign applications in the park's context.

The signage is intended to be within parks and identify park features. Off-network features like location of streets, pathways, school facilities, etc. have not been contemplated at this time. Such things could be implemented as part of a larger Town wayfinding strategy.

Park Identification Sign

Park Identification Signs are designed to be placed at the main access to the park and be visible from adjacent roadways and bike lanes and convey the name of the park and its major facilities.

Symbols need not show all park facilities if it becomes too visually cluttered on the sign. Ideally not more than 6 symbols should be on the sign as it becomes difficult to read at traffic speeds.

Directory Sign

Directory Signs are designed to be the primary pedestrian information sign for the park, including distance and direction to major park facilities, a map showing the locations of all facilities, a scale, a legend, and a QR code to link to a mobile phone version of the park directory.

The sign is positioned at the main pedestrian entrance to the park.

Directional Post

Directional Posts are designed to be secondary pedestrian information signs positioned at secondary park entrances and at major decision-making points within the park.

The sign will convey the name of the park and directions to those facilities.
