Ed Macgregor Park — Attraction in Sooke

I came here to visit as last stop with my family after leaving Sooke and heading back to Victoria, BC.

It was pretty empty and quiet in the park. It is also very spacious with a good amount of seating. There is also a bathroom with art decorated on the outside. It seem like no much people come here often because there was an area by the stage that is suppose to be filled with water but it is empty.

Saw dozens of otters and a few bald eagles. Easy access from the main highway and mostly wheelchair accessible, there were a couple of steep declines. We thought we would just stop and spend a few minutes, and we ended up spending almost two hours. Well...
