Chancellor Park Playground Upgrades

A new universally accessible playground is being planned for Chancellor Park, a neighbourhood park located at the end of Chancellor Avenue and Quincy Street. Universally accessible playgrounds provide improved access to play for children and families of all abilities. The park currently features a half court with basketball hoop/hockey net, picnic tables, playground, and open lawn area.

Located in the growing Hospital neighbourhood, the property is between Highway 1 and the Galloping Goose Regional Trail. In addition to serving the local neighbourhood, the park holds potential as a destination for people who walk and bike on the Galloping Goose Trail and visitors and workers to Victoria General Hospital.

We are early in our planning and want to hear what playground features you would like to see included. Upon conclusion of public consultation, a What We Heard consultation summary report will be presented to View Royal Council in summer 2024. It will also be available online. Construction is planned for 2024.

The View Royal Parks System

The parks system is integral to the unique spirit of "place" in View Royal. Parks support and enhance the health of the community for residents, wildlife, and natural ecosystems.

Developing and maintaining opportunities to connect people to nature and recreation through strategic investment and management is vital to maintaining the high quality of life in View Royal.

Neighbourhood parks are generally small and respond to the open space and recreation needs of local residents. Amenities include passive and active recreation uses and open space.
