About Pacific Spirit Regional Park

Pacific Spirit Regional Park stretches across more than 750 hectares of protected forest, trails, and meadows on Vancouver’s West Side, bordering UBC and the historic Endowment Lands. It is one of the most pristine urban wilderness areas in the city and a true ecological treasure for Vancouver families.

Our Pacific Spirit camps meet at the main park entrance at 4915 W 16th Avenue and use the surrounding forest trails, towering old-growth canopy, mossy creek beds, and woodland clearings as a full-time outdoor classroom.

Why We Chose Pacific Spirit Park

  • Immersive forest setting. Children spend their day inside a living, breathing ecosystem.
  • Quiet by design. Less foot traffic than urban parks, allowing focused observation and deep play.
  • Rich biodiversity. Native plants, fungi, birds, and small wildlife create year-round natural science opportunities.
  • Accessible for West Side families. Central to Point Grey, Kitsilano, Dunbar, Kerrisdale, and UBC.
“Pacific Spirit is the kind of place children remember decades later. The light through the canopy. The smell of cedar after rain.”
