Every year, the Regional District of Nanaimo organizes a Polar Bear Splash—a goosebump-inducing tradition at Parksville Community Park. Community members and visitors are invited to step into the cold waters of the park, kicking off the new year with an exhilarating activity.

Admission is free for all event-goers! Register or check in on the day of the Polar Bear Splash at 11:30 a.m.
