Chancellor Park Playground Upgrades

Chancellor Park is a neighbourhood park located at the end of Chancellor Avenue and Quincy Street. The approximately 0.3-acre space is located between the Galloping Goose Regional Trail and Highway 1, not far from Victoria General Hospital and Eagle Creek Village.

In addition to serving the local Hospital neighbourhood, the park is a destination for people who walk and bike on the Galloping Goose Trail as well as for workers and visitors to the nearby hospital.



The playground located within Chancellor Park is scheduled to be updated in 2024! These updates will include universally accessible playground equipment that provides improved access to play for persons of all abilities.

Public Engagement

Public engagement opportunities included an online survey, drop-in open house, and on-site pop-up event. Feedback collected through the engagement have been summarized and compiled in a What We Heard Report.

 

View Royal's 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.

Next Steps

At the regular Council meeting on June 18, 2024, staff presented a What We Heard Report from the feedback received from the online survey and at the public engagement events on the Chancellor Playground Upgrade project. The input collected from these public engagement activities will inform the draft design concept for the playground to be presented at a future Council meeting. The draft concept will also be shared on the Town’s website and social media.
