Denman Island Parks & Greenways Master Plan
The Comox Valley Regional District (CVRD) is responsible for the planning, acquisition and development of community parks on Denman Island. To ensure community parks meet Denman Island residents’ needs, the CVRD initiated a planning process in 2010 soliciting input from residents on a long-term vision and priorities for new parks and greenways on Denman Island.
The Denman Island parks and greenways master plan is based on input received through a community survey, two public open houses and comments on a draft plan by affected government agencies and community organizations. The feedback received was incorporated into the final plan. Based on the public consultations, most Denman islanders would like to see the CVRD focus its efforts on recreational greenways with the highest priority accorded to a ferry to ferry multi-use trail.

The Joy of Walking
It is a great privilege to live on such a beautiful Island in a wonderful part of the world. We are also fortunate to have a committed group of people who work on our parks and conservation lands and who are committed to preparing and maintaining many trails on Denman Island. Now we have this wonderful book outlining the trails on Denman. What is left for us to do? Our task if we choose to accept it, is simply to get out and enjoy what has been given to us.
