Park Uses

Saanich Parks are for Everyone

Parks are used for many things, from recreation and sports to relaxation and enjoying nature. Have a picnic, play sports, use the playground, watch nature – just a few of the things you can do in our parks!

Some basic rules

Let’s make sure everyone can enjoy our parks.

  • If you play games and sports make sure you are not in the way of other park users.
  • Park only in approved areas.
  • Keep noise levels down. Music or loudspeaker use is okay as long as those around you are okay with it!
  • Keep dogs under control and clean up after your pet. Learn more about dogs in parks.
  • No fires in parks or on beaches.
  • You can use portable gas BBQs with adult supervision. No charcoal or briquettes.
  • No alcohol, smoking, vaping or marijuana use.

If you have a park permit, the park is still open for general use. If someone else is using the area you have booked, please nicely let them know you have a permit and ask that they move.
