Park Guide
Brickyard Community Park
Nanoose bay, BC
Brickyard Community Park in Nanoose Bay is a quiet, natural retreat where forest paths meet the rugged coastline along Brickyard Creek. This hidden local gem offers a peaceful escape for walkers, nature lovers, and those looking to enjoy ocean views without crowds.
Brickyard Community Park invites you to slow down and connect with the beauty of the Nanoose Bay shorelines.
With its gentle trails winding through arbutus and fir, and views across the shimmering waters of the Strait of Georgia, the park’s blend of forest and shoreline creates a peaceful setting where the sights and sounds of nature dominate—think bird songs, creek ripples, and the occasional seal sighting in the bay below.
Visitors to Brickyard can expect a low-impact, restorative experience that feels worlds away from crowded tourist spots. With no playgrounds or sports courts, the park is designed for reflection, dog walks, and casual exploration. Rocky tide-line areas invite tide-pooling and marine-life glimpses at low tide, while creekside benches offer perfect pauses for rest or a nature journal session. The best time to visit is late spring through early fall—especially May to September—when trails are clear, the foliage is lush, and the weather is mild. Early fall in particular brings a quiet beauty as subtle seasonal changes touch the leaves and light shifts across the shoreline, making it a lovely time for contemplative strolls.
