Beaches:

Elk/Beaver Lake Regional Park

"At 434 hectares (1,072 acres), Elk/Beaver Lakes Regional Park is large enough to accommodate virtually every year-round outdoor interest, and is the most intensively used of all the Capital Region District Parks. The lake surface is used cooperatively by swimmers, windsurfers, sailors, water-skiers, fishermen and rowers. Some park trails are designated multi-use, for hikers, cyclists and horse riders, while others are single use only. Whether you bask in the sun, stroll along the shore, or explore the 19 kms of woodland walking and bridal trails, this interconnecting network of lakes provides a good day outing for the whole family."

Beaches:

Willows Beach

"Connected to Cattle Point by a scenic trail, this park is a favorite stop for summer socializing and people watching as it features a sandy beach, large grassed area, playground, benches and picnic tables."

Attraction:

Beacon Hill Park

"Horse-drawn carriages meander through the park and a putting green offers golf enthusiasts a chance to try their putting skills. And as you walk through the park, you'll want to pay particular attention to the benches as each one has a different dedication to someone loved and forever remembered. Peacocks roam freely through the park and a petting zoo gives kids the chance to experience the animals up close and personal."

Attraction:

Butchart Gardens

"The Butchart Gardens, tucked into a serene 50-acre country estate on the southeast corner of Vancouver Island, is a garden of earthly delights in every season. From summer splendour to autumn's golden glory and sparkling holiday magic - there's always something to see, learn and experience."
