• Cadboro-Gyro Park
  Saanich Parks is seeking public input into the Cadboro-Gyro Park Masterplan (a masterplan provides direction on what a park should be like for the next 5 to 20 years). Saanich has contracted LADR Landscape Architects to develop the plan which will be comprised of a written report and landscape plan. The Masterplan will provide a framework for which the District of Saanich can base planning, design and management decisions for the park in the future. Park development opportunities and constraints are being indentified through a review of various aspects of the park including geology, ecology/biological environmental, hydrology, underground services, First Nations history, and present and future recreation requirements and desires.
