A Hidden Gem in Nanaimo, BC – Colliery Dam Park

When we travel we are always on the look out for places that we can take our dog K’san for a walk.  Last year we discovered another park in south Nanaimo, and it is a real gem.  Called Colliery Dam Park, it has a number of pathways that are all amongst the trees, big beautiful Cedars, large old Maples and statuesque Douglas Fir trees.  On hot and sunny summer days the trees provide some relief from the heat with their shade and the water in the small reservoirs is clean so K’san can wade in them to help cool down even more.  It is also a great place to take some photographs of the trees and the rest of the forest found there. – Leslie and Mark
