Saanich Parks: where everyone belongs
- Please enjoy our parks and trails while providing personal space to other park guests and respecting peoples' personal choices.
- Host an event outdoors in a park: obtain a valid permit for use of any sports field or priority use of picnic tables.
- If you pack it in, pack it out! Anything you bring to a park should go home with you. Please never leave trash, food containers, animal waste or other items.
- Wanting to bring a group of five or more people to volunteer in a Saanich Park? Fill out our Saanich Parks Stewardship Group Activity Request Form. Please note: activites for large groups of 20 or more take place from September to March to avoid potential disturbance to nesting birds from April to August.
