There's a waterfall and a few trails in this park, friendly to all age groups. Our favorite because there's a ducks' lake and kids love this spot.

Hiker's favorite

Medium to difficult hike with sharp elevation. The trail is well maintained with multiple view points of the city. It's very rewarding to get to the top and selfie with the Canadian flag

The place to go if you want to try Nanaimo bars. Personally we find it sweeter than our taste, but their cheesecakes are less sweet and taste amazing
