Park Users’ Input Sought

July 3,  2012- Over the next few months visitors to Maffeo Sutton Park can expect to meet some surveyors who may approach them regarding future plans for the park. Teams of surveyors will be approaching park users and asking for opinions in regards to the second phase of development for Nanaimo’s busiest park.

Maffeo Sutton Park has developed over the last 40 years from an industrial site into Nanaimo’s destination waterfront park. City Council and Parks, Recreation and Culture staff are keen to gather public input as we move forward in planning for Maffeo Sutton Park. The public is being asked to consider what would make Maffeo Sutton Park better and what should the priorities for improvements be?

If you have some thoughts on how to continue to improve on the park please consider sharing those ideas in the following ways:

  • Talk to a park visitor surveyor in the park during the summer of 2012
  • Complete the online survey at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/MQMC9VL
  • Attend an open house at the park and fill out a park survey. Dates will be posted in the park, in local papers, and online
  • Email your opinions and input to parks@nanaimo.ca or call 250 756 5200
