Steveston Rotary RV Park Welcomes Visitors for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games

January 18, 2010

Richmond, BC - Visitors to Richmond during the 2010 Olympic Winter Games looking to stay in the comfort of their RV will soon be able to park in Steveston. The Steveston Rotary Club will be operating a temporary RV park from February 9 to March 2. Located in scenic Steveston, where the Fraser River meets the Pacific Ocean, visitors will be a two-minute walk to the beach.

“The City of Richmond is looking forward to welcoming the world in February,” says Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie. “In addition to enjoying the Olympic activities, we hope visitors will also take the time to explore our dynamic community.”

“The Richmond 2010 Steveston Rotary RV Park will provide affordable accommodations for visitors, with sites starting for only $50 per night,” explains Bill McNulty, president of the Steveston Rotary Club. “The proceeds from the RV park will also benefit the community, as our club will use the profits to fund a variety of local and international charities.”

There will be 131 non-hook up RV sites at Steveston Park and Garry Point Park. Potable water, sewage removal and propane are also available to purchase. The park can accommodate RVs of any length and class, motorized or towed. Each site will be 6 metres (20 feet) wide. Campers will have access to the adjacent Steveston Community Centre’s washrooms and showers.

A minimum two-night booking is required. Special arrangements are available for guests staying 10 days or longer, or for 2010 Games volunteers. For more information visit www.stevestonrotary.org/RVPark/ or email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
