The adjacent arena provides additional seating for 3,500 people and a total trade show space of up to 8,000 square metres (85,000 sq ft.). The complex is situated on 40 hectares (100 acres) of beautiful parkland, with 1,100 on-site parking spaces included free of charge. Bowen Park Complex Located in central Nanaimo, this 36-hectare (89-acre) park offers a tranquil environment for your delegates. The complex features include a large 306-person auditorium, 7 break-out rooms, plus you’re only steps away from tennis, an 18-hole disc golf course and kilometres of walking trails.
