R.O. Bull Park

The municipally-owned R.O. Bull Memorial Park is located at the west end of Wain Road within the Deep Cove neighbourhood. The park, which contains a stand of old growth forest, consisting of Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees, grand Fir, Arbutus, Western Yew is among the last remaining example of old growth trees on the Saanich Peninsula.
