Did you know that during all lesson times there is an ondeck lesson supervisor? This person is available to answer questions, help you with any concerns and provide a link between you and the instructor (as instructors have limited time between classes). Look for the person in a blue tank top at Gordon Head or a purple staff shift Saanich Commonwealth and we’ll be happy to assist you.

FOR MORE INFO
Working in Partnership with the community, our mission is to create a quality of life that supports healthy lifestyles and preserves and protects our natural environment.
QUICK FACTS ABOUT SAANICH PARKS • 168 Parks • Over 800 hectares of parkland • 99km of trails • 35 tennis courts • 2 lacrosse boxes • 62 sportsfields • 56 playgrounds • 3 lawnbowling greens • 1 horseshoe club • 21 basketball/ sport courts • 1 skate park • 1 water park • 37 beach accesses
Did you know? • The Saanich Parks online Parks & Trails guide was updated with new parks, new trails and information for you to plan your day exploring Saanich Parks. Now you can click on a Park or the Park name in the map to display more information about that particular park. Check back often as we continually update this information! • Saanich Parks has added more than 80 acres of parkland to our system since 2010. Some of the new park areas are additions to existing parks such as Cadboro-Gyro Park and Mount Douglas Park. A large portion of this new park area is a result of the acquisition of Panama Flats which added 62 acres to our public park system. • Saanich's Pulling Together Volunteer Program supports community groups working on public lands by providing start-up training, on-going ecological advice, restoration plan guidance, staff and equipment for selected work parties, plant debris removal, and annual training and recognition events. So far in 2012, volunteers and staff have removed tonnes of invasive plants from our parks and natural areas - way to go team! • Over the years, yard waste and unwanted garden material have been discarded in many of Saanich Parks. Although leaving garden waste to decompose in parks may seem environmentally friendly, this practice is harmful to the environment. The District of Saanich provides a yard waste disposal facility at 1040 McKenzie Avenue for all residents to use free of charge. • Saanich arboriculture staff have planted a large number of trees in our community this year! Every year this dedicated tree team responds to nearly 2,000 tree service and tree permit requests in our community.
Mount View Park Located on the west side of the Mount View Campus of Care at Wascana St. and Cadillac Ave., this .54 ha (1.33 acre) park is a result of development of the old Mount View School site. Saanich Parks collaborated with the Community Association, the Capital Region Hospital District, Victoria Cool Aid Society, Capital Region Housing Corporation, Baptist Ministries, and the public to create the much-needed green space. Main features are a social hub with seating and a community-maintained ornamental garden, a playground, and unstructured open space. Connecting trails, a generous amount of trees, a naturalistic drainage swale, and increased open space in the Homer/Kamloops road right-of-way complete the new park.
Interpretive Signs For the past decade or so, Saanich Parks has been providing park interpretation through the use of illustrative information signs at key locations throughout the parks system. Currently there are more than 25 interpretive signs along Saanich Trails and in Saanich Parks. This past year we have installed four interpretive signs at Doris Page Park, Cedar Hill Park at the McRae House in partnership with the Saanich Volunteer Services Society, Lambrick Park and along the Interurban Rail Trail at Wray Creek - both in partnership with Saanich Environmental Services. Two more signs will be installed soon at Gorge Park and at McMorran Park. Map signs have also been installed at Browning Park, Harvest Lane Park and we've updated the map sign on the Lochside Regional Trail at Royal Oak Drive.
