The Parksville Community Park Legacy Labyrinth, a well-loved feature at the north end of the waterfront boardwalk, will get a fresh new look soon and the community is invited to take part.
Excitement is building for the spring refresh of the labyrinth, with planning kicking off on Saturday, May 3. Community members are invited to take part in World Labyrinth Day, gathering at 1 p.m. to 'Walk as One' alongside thousands around the world in a global call for peace.
After the walk, at approximately 2 p.m., the Legacy Team will host a volunteer meeting for those who want to help bring new life to the labyrinth through painting, event organizing, or creative planning.
The labyrinth will be repainted on Saturday, May 31, with a festive ceremony and celebration scheduled for Saturday, June 7. Volunteers, artists and supporters are all encouraged to join the effort.
Led by the Parksville Community Park Legacy Labyrinth Lead Team, the project offers a unique chance to help refresh one of Parksville’s most cherished community spaces. The labyrinth was built in 2013 and was last painted in 2018.
“We’re excited to refresh the labyrinth this spring and hope to see many familiar and new faces joining us,” said Holly Carnegie, spokesperson for the Legacy Labyrinth Lead Team. “It’s a beautiful way to come together as a community and nurture a space that means so much to so many people.”
Those unable to attend the May 3 meeting but interested in volunteering are encouraged to reach out to the team directly.
