The City of Parksville is centrally located on the sheltered east coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. About 12,000 residents call Parksville their home; we are an active community of retirees and families with young children who have chosen to live in Parksville for the quality of life and natural environment. An excellent combination of retirement, business and recreational opportunities (we are known for our spectacular beaches), facilities and services make Parksville a great place for people of all ages to live, work and play!
