Reviews of Uplands Park (Zoo)

Markus Schnell

Great place in the morning to see sunrise

Brian Lang

Great views from this park on a clear day

Mark Coldicutt

The other half are doing well lol

Secchi Monti

It's a great place to hang out, especially if you like being by the water and looking out into the horizon where sky and water become one!

David Krismer

Awesome date location. A little bit off willows beach too, so it's fairly quiet.

Stephen Latimer

One of the most beautiful spots in Victoria. Great for dog walking except it is closed in the spring for a couple of months for nesting birds.

Naomi Ethier

Great beach for rock hounds! ????

Terry V

Ok park when i compare with others. Was very wet...not as beautiful to me as others but maybe this time of year is not the best to experience it.

Sarah-Anne Lake

Beautiful views! When it is Sunny you can see Mt. Baker across the water.

Kenn Mount

Great spot with excellent views.

David E. Fowler

Beautiful natural Gary Oak ecosystem

Kaysha Lee

Great place for families and dogs!

Kevin Cole (Kevin_in_BC)

Great walking trails

Todd B

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.

Emily McIvor

Gorgeous wilderness park. Lots of Garry Oak and Hawthorne. Beautiful meandering trails and rocky plateaus. No washrooms, not wheel chair accessible. Not fenced. Off-leash park for dogs except April-june.

San Sin

Really nice! great place for a walk

Hannah Brouse

Incredible park. Decent coastline, lovely views, great hiking.

Moon

Debra Vergara

Stopped here for 20 minutes on a bus tour.. would like to go back and spend a lot more time there!

Mariam O.

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! ????

Matt T

Don't go at dusk in the summer.. mosquitoville

Jon Greene

Do yourself a favour and check it out, wild woods hidden in the suburbs.

Cathie Dunklee-Donnell

Beautiful wild spot with lots of birds and wildflowers

Ross Dunn

Hands down, my favourite park in Victoria; especially in Spring. The Common Camas comes alive in Spring, paintbrushing the expansive, oak-tree dotted fields with purples and blues. Very relaxing and there are a ton of paths.

Luski

great place to walk and hangout

Nathan Lapointe

Beautiful Park which has been left in its natural state showing how this pay off the city looked like before development

Pelt's Yachting Services Inc.

Nice place.

Bigfoot Forest Vancouver Island

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.

Sherry Smith

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

Leroy Norville

Very pretty place and well taken care of.

Stephen DUSTY Roberts

Great place for a stroll and the cenotaph is lovely.

Rory Drysdale

Nice place to spend the day

Brian Green

Unspoiled natural Gary Oak meadows. Fronts down to Cattle point. Usually pretty quiet and good for a ramble

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.

LowellAnn Fuglsang

Beautiful morning at Cattle Point.

Cuauhtli Rangel

A Majestic place where to find yourself... You should come

Rob Thorndyke

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!

Chris Nicolson

A great place to walk the trails with the kids and the pooch.

Daniel Andrews

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.

Esdras Floriani Holderbaum

Beautiful

Marie-Andrée Ouimet

Breathtaking views! Worth the stop!

Jackie Pallard

So beautiful, especially on a sunny day ☀️

Steve Krieger

Beautiful area.

Arthur Savage

I grew up near this park. It is a great place for a walk. Lots of wild flowers in the spring. It can be pretty muddy in the winter and spring so you need appropriate footwear.

Gord Chapman

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!

Parul Raval

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

Terry Boorman

A nice large natural area with lots of trails.

David Cheatley

An un-cultivated park with natural foot paths. Shooting Stars, Faun Lillies , and Camus all appear in their seasons. As of April 1 the paths are still mud in many places.

Richard Pattee

Wonderful park for walks.

Darren L

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.

Tim Quirk

Great for dog walking fall winter and spring

Karla TRE

Best Place!

Rakib Khan Lemon

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.

Dan S

When the daylight is right you can see Mount Vesuvius or K2 or whatever shining over in America to the east. The distant mountain is a beacon of freedom that serves to remind us Canadians to turn to capitalism -and indeed its champion America- for guidance lest we persist in our pitiful squalor across the water here in the shanty town of Victoria.

Pouria Showleh

Nice park and beach. Beautiful rocky areas near the beach and in the park.

Rowan Allen

Nice simple green space with a free boat launch. And sometimes a piano.

K. Tyrrell

A great place to jog!

Mark Watts

One of the loveliest walks in Victoria.

ZerglingZero

Great spot for late night star gazing. If it's a clear night you might catch myself down at the cattle point boat launch with the telescope????

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

Simba Chang

Beautiful view, it's quiet, private, and chill. Good place to hangout, one of my "Secret place"

Chris HD

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

A Johnson

Big in-city park with lots of trails

Nice walking park

John “Jay” McGowan

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.

George Sranko

Beautiful walks through the Garry Oak ecosystem. Excellent bird watching. Highly recommended! Dogs must be kept on-leash during spring nesting season, April 1 - June 30

Desmond Hedderson

Nice place to walk the beach and next to the water

Sharon Doty

Quite muddy on the paths so wear boots in April.

Sky G

Lots of trails.

Tara Fisher

Beautiful spot to watch the sunrise

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!!!!

Dan King

I just drove through, I'm not rich enough to actually go here.

Tom Ve

Great park

David Mackenzie-Kong

Get outside, unplug and move..great place to do that.

Steven Ball

great place to walk...put your boat in the water....etc

Heather Chasten

Very beautiful and scenic. Victoria should be on everyone's bucket list. The beauty cannot be described.

Laureen

Very muddy

Jackson Chu

Nice small loop around the water. The inner trail is confusing, one can easily get lost without knowing which way to turn.

The beginning of August is great for blackberry picking. And a great dog or person walking spot in Victoria.

Sitting relaxing. Like hitting the reset button after a busy day. So glad to live close by here.

Money Bags (Scrooge)

Very Bujey beach is deteruorating over time.

David Hansen

A big natural park you could spend a day exploring on its many trails, and by the water at low tide.

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!

Darrel Stuart

A great place to go with your child.

k d

neat, small, natural park with lots of trails for little ones to explore.

The Gary Oaks in this park are gorgeous in a Gothic sort of way. A very nice place to stroll on a lazy sunny afternoon.

kris rasmusn

Scenic

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.

Mark Chapman

Very peaceful and beautiful

Carol Hill

Historic landmark. Boat ramp to the ocean. Nice view of Oak Bay and Estevan beach.

Andrew M

Oceanside, how can it be less than 5 stars?

Bachata Vancouver

Great park to walk for a few hours

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.

Carmen Matthews

Best sandy beach around. Beautiful views.

Melinda Budgell

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

Tony G

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.

Stephan Wilson

Eco system with various plants and wildlife

Scott Henderson

Quiet place, kind of spooky, I'd avoid this area if I was a family with kids.

Greg Mellors

Lots of parking

Andrea Careless

Love this wild park.Wear boots in spring. The paths can be very mucky! Right now they're little rivers.

Mirjana Vanderzee

Love this park. Relaxing ????????????

Adam Nott

Uplands an urban treasure. Can get muddy in the winter, and the delicate and rare ecosystem should really have dogs on leash at all times.
