Dominion Brook Park
Dominion Brook Park is an 11-acre park on the Saanich Peninsula, with a unique horticultural history. It was created by the Canadian Department of Agriculture in 1913 as a public demonstration arboretum and ornamental garden. Visit our About Us page to learn more.
Since 2001, the Friends of Dominion Brook Park Society have been actively restoring the Park. In partnership with the District of North Saanich and the Centre for Plant Health, we continue to maintain the significant heritage collection of shrubs and trees. Volunteers meet weekly from March to October to weed, clean up, prune, and plant. More information can be found on our Volunteer page.
Everyone is welcome to enjoy this park, and tours are also available for interested parties. To book tours send an email to contactus@dominionbrookpark.ca
The park has been host to school groups, weddings, and even the Easter Bunny! To book events, contact the District of North Saanich at admin@northsaanich.ca
Public support is central to the ongoing restoration of this unique horticultural treasure in our community. More information can be found under Support the Park.
