Wain Park

WHAT ARE WE UP TO?

As an outcome of the Parks Master Plan (2025), we are developing a Park Plan for Wain Park. The Park Plan is a document that will guide future park infrastructure and amenity upgrades, recreational use, and environmental considerations. The project is underway with Phase 1 site assessment, analysis, and information gathering.

THE PARK TODAY

Wain Park is a community park located in the Deep Cove neighbourhood of North Saanich. First established in 1864, this park has a heritage designation. The name of the park honours North Saanich pioneer Henry Wain (1826-1914). The park today supports hedgerows, tennis courts, half basketball court, swings, ball diamonds, open field space, connector trails, a washroom building, and picnic tables for community enjoyment. The pickleball courts are permanently closed.

At the April 29, 2024, Regular Meeting of Council a motion to close the Wain Road pickleball courts as of May 7, 2024 (Motion 138) was carried. At the February 24, 2025, Regular Meeting of Council a motion, in light of the permanent closure, to repurpose the Wain Road pickleball courts (Motion 67) was carried. The District recognizes the importance of recreation in our parks system and is committed to exploring opportunities with municipal and regional partners at a more appropriate site.
