Taluswood Neighbourhood Park has developed two sinkholes, rendering the two tennis courts in the park unusable. In 2022, the Resort Municipality of Whistler (RMOW) completed a preliminary geotechnical review. The estimated cost for excavating the fill material causing the sinkholes and rebuilding the tennis courts was evaluated at more than $1 million, which exceeds our budget.

While we explore geotechnical issues, we want to envision what’s possible for the future of Taluswood Neighbourhood Park.

This project aims to transform an underused park into a vibrant, neighbourhood park that meets the needs of the Taluswood and Nordic Estates neighbourhoods.

We would like to hear from the neighbourhood to understand who lives nearby and would use the park. Feedback from the broader community is also welcomed.

Let us know your priorities for activities and amenities in this neighbourhood park.

Taluswood neighbourhood park was developed by Intrawest in the 1990s as part of construction of the Taluswood neighbourhood. A ravine was filled and levelled with material excavated from the road and condominium construction. The tennis courts were built on top of the fill material and once complete the property was handed over to the municipality for long term maintenance and operations. This developer funded and built approach to creating park space is commonly used in Whistler.
