Nestled along Victoria’s iconic waterfront, Songhees Park is a thoughtfully designed public space that honors the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest while celebrating the rich cultural heritage of the indigenous Lekwugen people. This vibrant park invites visitors to connect with the land through accessible pathways, native plantings, and breathtaking views of the Inner Harbour and Olympic Mountains. Seamlessly integrated into the city’s waterfront trail system, the park serves as both a recreational destination and a cultural touchpoint.

At the heart of the park’s design is a commitment to sustainability and cultural storytelling. Collaborations with Songhees Nation artists and knowledge keepers informed the inclusion of traditional carvings, interpretive plaques, and public art, creating a space that fosters connection and understanding. Rain gardens, native vegetation, and permeable surfaces highlight the park’s dedication to ecological stewardship, enhancing biodiversity and natural stormwater management while maintaining the park’s aesthetic appeal.

With its mix of open lawns, shaded seating areas, and scenic lookouts, Songhees Park offers something for everyone. Whether you’re exploring its cultural installations, enjoying a peaceful walk along the waterfront, or taking in the panoramic views, the park is a dynamic space that enriches the community by blending urban design, nature, and heritage.
