Description: Dominion Brook Park comprises 4.5 hectares on East Saanich Road. The park was originally developed in 1913 and maintained by the Federal Government as an ornamental garden. It has been re-established for public use with the help of funds from the District of North Saanich, the Provincial Capital Commission and the Millennium Bureau of Canada. The park contains a natural watercourse which flows into a series of manmade ponds and there are many specimen trees and flowering shrubs. The Friends of Dominion Brook Park is a non-profit society of volunteers dedicated to re-establishing the unique heritage of the park and working to rehabilitate its plant life which includes many rare and exotic species.
