Work completed on improvements to Lighthouse Country Regional Trail

New improvements to the Lighthouse Country Regional Trail (LCRT) will now connect two parks near Qualicum Beach. 

The Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) celebrated the completion of a new bridge with a ribbon cutting ceremony Sunday, May 25, connecting Lions Community Park at Lioness Boulevard to Wildwood Community Park at McColl Road. 

The improvements provide trail users with a four kilometres connection between the two parks with new accessibility improvements. 

The LCRT separates into a north section neighbouring Wildwood Community Park making up two kilometres of footpath, while the south section offers around 2.5 kilometres with a wheelchair-accessible trail.
