RETIRE TO PARKSVILLE

The City of Parksville is one of the fastest growing areas on Vancouver Island, and a big part of that is the growth of vibrant retirement communities. Parksville is part of the “retirement triangle” that includes Parksville and Qualicum Beach. The mild climate is perfect for keeping an active lifestyle.

Parksville has an incredibly service oriented town center with a convention center, medical offices galore, and many senior-specific retailers (a scooter store for one).

Parksville has everything that active seniors could want. There are eight golf courses all within 30 minutes of each other. The courses have something for every level of play and budget, and they are open 365 days a year thanks to the mild climate.

The recreation opportunities abound with walking, lawn bowling, fishing, and numerous organized events through the parks and recreation departments.
