Go to Mount Douglas Park

Mount Douglas Park is one of the better-known parks in Greater Victoria due to its immense size and all it has to offer residents of the city, including those who live in the Mount Douglas neighbourhood. It is 188 hectares of urban forest, with 21 kilometres of forest trails to hike, rated from green (easy) to black (difficult). 

In the park, there is a multi-use field for sports and activities, parking, picnic areas, a playground, and washrooms open year-round. Mountain bikers enjoy the park, and trails range from challenging hikes up to the summit to easy, low-grade trails. You can even drive to the summit when the park road is open via Churchill Drive, although this road is only open from noon to 10 pm to promote active living and a peaceful environment in the mornings. Visit the sandy beach to enjoy the ocean breeze and marine life (seals, orca, waterfowl), enjoy the lizards, birds, and other wildlife amongst the rocks and trees, and see panoramic views overlooking the city of Victoria from the summit of Mount Douglas. Horseback riding and leashed dogs are allowed in the park, except in the beach and playground areas and where protected nesting sites are marked.
