  1. There's multiple entrances into #CuthbertHolmesPark - which is directly connected to Colquitz River Park. This is my fave entrance because it takes you straight into the forest 😊💚🌲 There's an unmarked entrance around the corner from here that also leads directly into forest & we exited from that trail.
    These two nearby municipal parks are part of the Craigflower-Colquitz Watershed. There's estuary/bird & wildlife sanctuary areas in both parks. Lots of active rewilding projects happening year round in both parks too. Please keep your dogs on leash & out of nature restoration zones.

  5. The main highlight of the Glendale trails is this massive pond. It attracts many different bird species that choose this sanctuary to live, mate, nest & raise their young at. You'll always see eagles flying above & ravens calling, when you walk the trails here.

    The tiny white dot you see atop a mountain in the background is the astronomical centre of the universe here & it hosts astronomy related events at certain times of the year.

  9. Glendale park has multiuse trails - most are suitable for people with limited mobility(very little elevation grade & paths are wide enough), strollers friendly, bicycles friendly(go slow!), kids & equestrians use it often too. The trails border along rural private & public greenspace/forested lands. This side trail is the Dog Walker's Loop & winds through the forest - fab to take your dog friends there.
    The main trail connects to the Saanich trails system which also connects to the Galloping Goose trail system.

  13. To encourage Glendale park visitors to create art instead of vandalizing a covered seating area, chalkboards were installed inside & a small bucket of chalks are provided. This is also used for educational programs throughout the year.
    The upper trail spans across to Layritz Park. The lower trail takes you to estuary viewpoint & another footpath winds through the small forest beside the big field & the estuary below(not seen in photo).

    The main #NatureTrail at Glendale near Camosun College Interurban campus, leading to the estuary viewpoint spot. It crosses a small #footbridge. There is also viewing platform with a spotting scope for park visitors to enjoy - it's beside the parking lot & accessed by a small footpath.

  21. Colquitz River. In Summer.
    As seen from the footbridge in Cuthbert Holmes, a Saanich municipal park. Colquitz Creek/River is an important local salmon bearing waterway. It is part of a protected watershed system that includes Craigflower Creek. Both feed out into Portage Inlet & the Gorge Waterway.
