Parkside Victoria Travel Blog

Parkside Victoria Resort & Spa is donating the use of its fitness centre and private HD movie theatre to the Victoria Cycling Academy to help sharpen the young cyclists' competitive edge during the off-season.

The academy's development team members, mostly in their mid-teens, are using the facilities to maintain form, core strength and flexibility at a time when limited daylight hours make it hard to get on the bike after school.

Parkside won in the Best Recreational category at the 2010 Urban Development Institute (UDI) Awards of Excellence last night at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Vancouver, BC.

The Urban Development Institute is a national non-profit association of the development industry, representing members that include developers, property managers, architects, real estate professionals, local governments and government agencies.
