Echo Dale Regional Park is an oasis to both people and wildlife and has more than 65,000 visitors each year.
Our patrons range from sun-loving swimmers to those who enjoy sitting around a fire at night, to the regulars who walk the trails each day throughout the year, no matter how bad the weather!
From the Historic farm site on the west side of the park to the Day Use area on the far east side of the park and all the others areas in between, the pristine condition of Echo Dale Regional Park is a favourite for the public.
