Nature Trails Brochure

Bose Forest Park Discover this park's diverse natural areas, including a sensitive swamp ecosystem. Come walk the trails, have a picnic on the open lawn area, and check out the nature-themed playground. The forest here is full of life. Spot some of our other native trees, like Douglas-fir, bigleaf maple and Western redcedar. Often referred to as the "tree of life," Western redcedar is deeply rooted in Indigenous cultures for its many spiritual and functional uses. Its strong wood is used to make dugout canoes, totem poles, masks and cedar boxes. Its flexible bark is woven into baskets, hats and mats. Stroll the trails and the boardwalk over the swamp, and learn why swamps are sensitive ecosystems in B.C. Unlike many other settlers, the Bose family left part of their property forested. They used it for recreation and welcomed the community to do the same. They knew this area was something special. Once you visit the park, you’ll understand why.
