Reviews of Uplands Park (Park)

Markus Schnell

Great place in the morning to see sunrise

Beautiful outdoor gathering place for families, naturalists, schools and Scouts Canada troops. Nice diversity of plants. Not a place to dig and disturb as there are indigenous burials and significant sites that shouldn't be disturbed. If its rained in the last few days it would be prudent to bring a pair of Wellington boots as it can be marshy in spots.

Lovely and serene. Views for days, sometimes you could get lucky and see river otters and/ orca whales. Always a fun time for my family! ????

Beautiful wild spot with lots of birds and wildflowers

The Beach Drive site seeing drive is perfect for those wishing to show off Oak Bay's beautiful scenery. The slow drive through Uplands Park is a must especially for tourists who are disabled or perhaps elderly and unable to trek the network of amazing wilderness trails in the park. The boat ramp areas have plentiful parking , again especially for those with mobility issues and serve as wonderful photo op sites. The seabirds are prolific in the park as are other sea critters like Otters as well as several fairly 'tame' Deer. This is a wonderful, history-rich location and a must see for anyone touring the region. The views of the USA are gorgeous from this spot as well as being one of the best star gazing locations for its lack of streetlamps. Truly an Oak Bay gem.

A beautiful place to go for a walk, enjoy the cool air and ocean. Amazing views of the mountains.

Marilou Decafe Stubbings

Visited day and night time. Both amazing view. A little bit scary at night if you are alone. Guaranteed to be back when it's not too cloudy!

Garry Mchady

Great place to spend an afternoon. Even better if your a bird lover.

I've lived in Oak Bay for 8 years and never visited this amazing park. It's like a beautiful wilderness right in the city. So many trails to wander easily along; it doesn't matter whether you go left or right at the fork, you never get lost. You are alone (perhaps with your dog, off-leash!) most of the time, but say easy Hello's with other park-goers and dog lovers when paths meet. Marvin (my pup) and I strongly recommend checking out this peaceful gem!

Nice little waterfront park just jam-packed with Garry Oak trees. It’s a really nice bit of wilderness in the middle of the city. The park is largely undeveloped and, as such, is brimming local with plant and animal life. It’s a great place for a picnic or a stroll. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area and looking for a quiet place to be in nature.

Right now is the best time to visit Uplands Park! Fields of Camas Flowers are in bloom right now and its stunning! The Garry Oaks look nice and green too! Check out the video I made and uploaded to my YouTube channel! My channel is named after me, and the video is called "Fields of Camas Flowers: A Stroll Through Uplands Park!" Please subscribe to my channel if you like gardens; I'll be doing more videos in the Victoria area!

Walk along the water that seems like part of the larger trail network. Cool place to hang out when sightseeing near Victoria.

A beautiful park that displays a rare ecosystem within Canada: The Garry Oak Ecosystem. Any time of the year is great but particularly the spring is a lovely time to visit when the wildflowers are in bloom. Many dog walkers frequent its rocky escarpment and many trails.

Rob Archibald

Great place to see wildlife and old people in a natural setting. Oh and a pretty kickass view of Baker

Maury Swoveland

Great place to walk your well behaved dog off leash. I look for bird in the park and have found dozens of species. Wild flowers when in bloom are beautiful.

Uplands park is located in Oak bay, Victoria, BRITISH COLUMBIA. It’s very adjacent to to the city center of Victoria. Overall it is a good place to visit.

Theodore Williams

Nice park, lots of paths and can go exploring for quite a while inside however, when it rains can become a giant mud pit

Chris HD

Nice view and good spot for taking pictures and walking along the ocean

Helen Edley

We had a great visit, geocaching and taking photos and looking and listening for birds. Everything was wet as we just missed the rain. This is one of our favourite parks to explore.

Wilderness walkways in the middle of a suburban area make for a pleasant stroll. It is a very popular place for taking the family pets for a walk. The trails are well defined through lots of use. Cross Beach Drive Road with caution to stroll the waterfront along Cattle Point. There is a parking lot and boat launch ramp in this area.

David Mills

This beautiful Park is enormous. With waterfront and woods the park is alive with wildlife. I was there for Remembrance Day and the crowd is slowly coming back.

Lanny Auger

Went for a walk and threw the chuck-it ball in the water with the pooch and we both loved it! I could tell she loved it as the ball was water logged and my arm a wee bit tired!!! Highly recommend this for the humans and animals or if the humans just want to walk and relax? But was a great time for sure!!!!

Thiago Hinkel

Great for a walk. Scenic view.

Nicolas PC

very nice view on the sea, the strait Juan de Fuca and the mountains olympics (us) in front

Catherine Rogers

Great for a quiet walk and break from the seaside wind. Flat surface makes easy access for everyone. Dogs seem happy here too!

Liam Turner

Great place to walk. Can go on the beach or the park through some very interesting local plant life. Facilities are well taken care of.

Vortex Dragon

Uplands is a beautiful park where your dogs can be offleash most o the year. April 1 - June 30 dogs must be on leash during wildflower blooming. The park is filled with trails, meadows and small fields. Lots of Garry Oak trees!

Inna Polansky

Lovely place. Park with old trees, sea shore with lots of benches and easy paths.

Melinda Budgell

A beautiful piece of nature in the middle of our community.

Lots of trail systems which is nice but they have roped off all the big trees because if people came within 30ft of the trunks then the soil would erode and the trees would fall over. If I wanted to see roped off nature I would go to Buchart Gardens. Do better Oak bay. I'd you want to go to a place where your kids can be free and you dont need to worry about rope guards, go to elk/beaver lake. Way more better. 3stars only because the rocks look like a fun place for my rock crawlers. But I'm sure there is also a ban on radio transmission in close proximity of the trees too.
