Construction has begun on a new outdoor amenity in Cobble Hill.
The Cowichan Valley Regional District said contractors are working on a new bandshell at Cobble Hill Commons.
The regional district has awarded the contract to Built Contracting Ltd., with work now starting on a permanent stage for outdoor events at the Electoral Area C park.
The site hosts events such as the Cobble Hill Agricultural Fair and the Music in the Park summer concert series.
CVRD board chair Kate Segall attended a groundbreaking ceremony March 23 to officially mark the start of construction.
“I attend Music in the Park every year, and you really see how much people value having a place to come together,” Segall said. “This bandshell will make Cobble Hill Commons an even better place to gather, with more opportunities for events and connection throughout the year.”
Construction is expected to wrap up by June 2026, with some areas of the park temporarily closed during the work.
