Langford’s Ernhill Park has a whole new look!
On Wednesday, the City of Langford unveiled the recently renovated park as they continue park upgrades across the region.
The park’s updates include new playground equipment, benches, a walking path, a basketball court, a sports court as well as a plaza area with built-in seating.
As a portion of the park is an engineering stormwater management area, invasive plant species growing in the area were also replaced with native plants.
“While we continue to add new neighbourhood parks and playgrounds to Langford, it’s great to see updates being made to the existing ones as well,” said Mayor Stew Young.
“Langford Council and City staff recognize that as our community grows, as does the need for enhanced park space for children and families to play and enjoy recreational activities. As one of our older parks, we hope that residents enjoy the upgrades and additions made to Ernhill.”
The park, located at 2649 Ernhill Drive, was dedicated to the Capital Regional District as a community park in 1984 and later donated to the City of Langford in 1992.
Renovations to the park were completed in February, months ahead of their predicted summer 2022 completion date.
Other park renovations in the region include Kettle Creek, Echo Valley, Gateway, Chidlow and Cressida.
