A little #footpath that leads down to a nice beach spot, along the #GorgeWaterway.

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.

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.#Saanich #footpath #nature #Summer #trail #GetOutside #FreshAir #Wsanec #YYJ #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #PNW #SaanichParks #YYJWalks #Dogwalkers #forest #FootpathFriday #ParkAccessibility

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).#Saanich #field #nature #Summer #shelter #GetOutside #FreshAir #Wsanec #YYJ #VictoriaBC #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #PNW #SaanichParks #YYJWalks #Peaceful

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.#Footpath #nature #forest #Wsanec #Saanich #VictoriaBC #YYJ #VancouverIsland #VanIsle #PacificNorthwest #Cascadia #PNW #WalkingTrail #MultiUseTrail #SaanichParks #GetOutside #WellnessWalks #YYJWalks

Colquitz & Cuthbert Holmes park walk. Both parks connect to each other. Colquitz River runs through them.

#SwanLake #NatureSanctuary & #Estuary - less than 10 minutes from my place. I've loved this #LocalPark since childhood. Went full circle here. Learned at this #park & #nature center as a young child. In my 30s, ended up working there for a year as a naturalist, teaching young school children on field trip outings. #Birdwatching hotspot
