High water causes temporary park closures

Scotch Creek Wharf Road closed sign

High water has forced the temporary closure of two CSRD parks:

  • Sandy Beach, located at 2475 Blind Bay Road, Blind Bay
  • Scotch Creek Wharf Road Community Park, located at 1014 Wharf Rd, Scotch Creek

The parks will re-open once the water level drops to safe levels.

We appreciate residents staying out of these parks at this time.
