Courtenay Airpark Walkway Reopening July 1

June 30, 2015

The Airpark Walkway Loop will reopen on Wednesday, July 1 at approximately 11:30 am. The water side of the loop has been closed since June 15 while Project Watershed installed a new culvert to improve fish habitat.

The project will significantly improve fish habitat and deal with factors limiting productivity. The culvert will connect the Courtenay River to the top of the lagoon, re-establishing river flow through the lagoon area. This will flush and re-oxygenate the area with cooler river water, and restore the lagoon closer to its historical condition.
