Found in the scenic Pemberton Valley, approximately 95 miles north of Vancouver along Highway 99, the community of Pemberton is preparing to celebrate a significant milestone. On Monday, June 16, residents and visitors will gather at Den Duyf Park from 5:00 to 6:30 pm to officially open the doors of the new Rotary Amenity Building, a multi-purpose facility designed to serve as a year-round hub for community activity.
The timing of this opening comes as the region faces challenging conditions from the ongoing Dryden Creek wildfire near Squamish, which has forced school closures and created smoky conditions throughout the Sea to Sky corridor. Located between Vancouver and Pemberton, Squamish serves as a key waypoint for travelers, making the current fire situation particularly impactful for the entire region.
A Modern Community Hub
The new Rotary Amenity Building represents a thoughtful investment in Pemberton's future, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, accessible washrooms and showers, a rooftop patio, and a covered outdoor deck. These amenities are specifically designed to accommodate diverse community needs, from recreational programs and wellness activities to private events and public gatherings throughout the year.
This facility is part of a broader $4.2 million investment in Den Duyf Park, which also included the recent completion of a second soccer field. Together, these improvements position Pemberton as an increasingly attractive destination for families, sports tournaments, and community events.
Economic Impact and Community Benefits
The new amenity building is expected to provide significant economic benefits to Pemberton's local economy. By offering modern, accessible facilities, the community can now host larger events, tournaments, and gatherings that previously might have been held elsewhere. The building's year-round functionality means it can support wedding receptions, corporate retreats, community festivals, and sporting events regardless of weather conditions.
For local businesses, this translates to increased foot traffic from visitors attending events at the facility. Restaurants, accommodations, and retail establishments throughout Pemberton stand to benefit from the influx of participants and spectators drawn to activities at Den Duyf Park.
The facility also enhances Pemberton's appeal as a destination for active tourism, complementing the area's existing outdoor recreation opportunities. With its proximity to world-class hiking, mountain biking, and seasonal activities, the amenity building provides the infrastructure needed to support larger groups and extended stays.
Join the celebration on June 16 for tours, the official ribbon cutting ceremony, and light refreshments as Pemberton unveils this exciting addition to its community infrastructure.
