Community Facility Inventory Reports are now available for purchase from the BCRPA.

The Community Facility Inventory Reports are the result of the BCRPA Community Facilities Assessment Study, a provincial inventory of recreation facilities, trails, and open spaces throughout BC which involved three phases:

Reports from these studies will assist recreation and parks departments with upgrades, maintenance and replacement of existing facilities.

Reports are available in two formats for a nominal fee.

Standard reports contain pre-selected criteria and can be viewed and ordered online from BCRPA by BCRPA members for $25 each or non members for $45 each.

Custom reports offer the user more flexibility to choose a variety of criteria when purchasing. Custom reports cost $45 for two criteria, plus $10 for each additional criteria when ordered by a BCRPA member. The non-member rate for custom reports is $65 for two criteria, plus $20 for each additional criteria.
