Highview Park North, North Saanich

This lovely park is a wildlife forest with cedar, Douglas-fir and cottonwood on its slopes.   The trails in this parkland are discrete which encourages you to be as well. The view from the rocky terrain is though the trees yet you can see Mount Taum on Saltspring Island and the surrounding waters of the Salish Sea. This is a quiet peaceful neighborhood park to include in your walks in your backyard. The added bonus with this parkland is that it is one of three parks near the summit of Cloake Hill. The other two are Highview Park South and Sycamore Park.
