Nature and Culture
- History: The park was established in April 1971.
- Conservation: Flowers, trees and shrubs are part of the park’s natural heritage, please don’t damage or remove them.
- Wildlife: Park users should always be aware of bears and other wildlife in our park environment. Never feed or approach bears or other wildlife.
- Staying Safe in Bear Country
- Wood ticks are most prevalent between March and June. These parasites live in tall grass and low shrubs, and seek out warm-blooded hosts. As potential carriers of disease, they should be avoided. Protect your legs by wearing gaiters, or pants tucked into socks. After any outdoor activities, thoroughly examine yourself, children and pets. If you find a tick embedded in your skin, the best way to remove it is by grasping and pulling it, gently, straight up and out with a small pair of tweezers, and disinfecting the site with rubbing alcohol. You may wish to save the tick in a small plastic or glass container for later inspection by your doctor especially if a fever develops, or the area around the bite appears to be infected.

Picnic Areas
This spot is very popular with area residents for picnicking and swimming. More than 40 picnic tables line the large sandy beach. In addition, there are six free-standing BBQs and six benches amongst the tables. A large, paved, 200 car parking lot accommodates many visitors and has treed lawns separating the sections. Thick forest separates the beach area from the parking lot and provides some shade for the tables. Situated between the parking area and the beach is a large concrete change building with five change stalls, two taps, a wheelchair access flush toilet and a regular flush toilet on both the men’s side and the women’s side. An information board is posted on the building.
Park Operating Dates
The park and gates are open year-round, with regular services from the first weekend in May through to the second weekend in September. The change building/flush toilets are open during the May long weekend and peak summer months.
