At Colliery Dam Park, a mat is at the sandy swimming beach on the south side of the Lower Colliery Dam and was partially funded by a $5,000 donation from the park’s preservation society. At Departure Bay Beach, a mat is near the Kin Hut Activity Centre. Only this year, it has been upgraded to feature a landing spot, which is an area that can be used for resting or picnicking.
