Officially named in 1934, Mt. Tolmie attained its name from Dr. William Frazer Tolmie, a surgeon and biologist with the Hudson’s Bay Company. Panoramic views of Saanich and Victoria across to the Olympic Mountain Range and to Mt. Baker in the Cascades will entice you to hike to the 120m elevation of the summit. The combination of built forms (such as the water reservoir) and natural pathways through the rocky outcrops provide many different places to explore.

This is the largest and most magnificent park administered by Saanich. Walk the shores of Cordova Bay, hike trails lush with the abundance of ferns and wildflowers towered by Douglas fir and Cedar trees. Trails as well as a paved - but steep - park road lead you to the summit. From the parking lot at the top a walking trail leads you to the summit elevation of 213m. This 360o lookout is spectacular with views of rural Saanich, the city lights of Victoria, and further, the Olympic and Cascade Mountains in Washington State.
Mount Douglas Park beach is a long sandy beach and accessed via trail off main parking lot near Shelbourne/Ash intersection. Washrooms and playground are also off main park
