Little Qualicum River Regional Park and Meadowood Community Park are being reconfigured to improve public access and enhance ecological and recreational values

The subdivision of Wicklow West lands located near the Meadowood Village presents an opportunity to improve the existing layout of parkland in the area. Recognizing this unique opportunity, in May 2018, the RDN Board approved the pursuit of a joint subdivision application.

The RDN and Wicklow West have developed a land exchange agreement that improves public access to the regional park and enhances the ecological and recreational values of the community park.

The land exchange will:

  • Add a new forested area to Meadowood Community Park in exchange for an open gravel area
  • Create a new, independent, fee-simple lot for the Fire Hall site
  • Relocate the regional park trail access corridor
  • Provide a new regional trail connection to the Little Qualicum River Regional Park
  • Enable the completion of Ashling Road through to Galvin Place
