Bowen Park Picnic Shelter - Lower (by River)

There are two covered picnic shelters located within the 36 hectare park. This shelter is located near the river and is close to the sand volleyball courts and curling club, access off Wall Street. • Vehicle access to the site is not permitted. A short term vehicle pull out area has been provided to accommodate the loading and unloading of equipment and supplies. • There are 2 electrical boxes located at either end of the road side wall of the picnic shelter (key needed to access, contact allocation clerk to arrange with deposit facilitybookings@nanaimo.ca). • There is a water tap located on the east side of the picnic shelter for your convenience. Water is available March through October only. • The washrooms are open between April 1st and October 31st 8am - 7pm. Alcohol is not permitted in Bowen Park. ELECTRICAL & KEY: It is imperative that you do not overload the circuits as the system will only handle one high energy draw at a time such as a coffee urn or hotplate. A key is required to gain access to the electrical boxes and must be arranged through the Allocation Clerk with a deposit. Ensure the shelter and grounds are left in clean condition with all litter picked up and deposited into the receptacles. Any garbage that cannot be contained in the receptacles must be taken with you.
