Parks and Greenspaces

Quadra Park

Beautifully landscaped and serving as a quiet oasis in Victoria’s Legislative Precinct, Quadra Park is a favourite spot for government workers to eat a bagged lunch or foot-weary tourists to watch the world pass by from the comfort of a sun-dappled bench.

Named after Juan Francisco de la Bodega y Quadra, the park honours its namesake with a statue commemorating the Spanish Royal Navy captain’s historic west coast exploration and governorship of the Spanish settlement of Nootka, Vancouver Island.

The PCC-owned property is located along Belleville Street, overlooking the Coho ferry terminal and the Inner Harbour.

Other Parks

Some of our properties, including Cuthbert Holmes Park and Mill Hill Park are leased long-term and administered by local municipalities for the pleasure and benefit of everyone.

PCC Green Spaces

To assure that British Columbian’s appreciate and enjoy the natural splendour of the capital region, the Provincial Capital Commission acquired more than 80 properties since 1956, primarily along the Galloping Goose Regional Trail and the two major highways that lead into the Capital city.

Many of these properties preserve the existing trail system and the natural beauty of the viewscapes along the highway approaches to the Capital.
