Pipers Lagoon Park

Another of Nanaimo's famous waterfront parks. Pipers Lagoon Park features scenic trails with ocean viewpoints making it a perfect place to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Built on an isthmus that extends out to a rocky headland, this 8 hectare park features twisting trails that lead to a number of seaside lookouts. From the headland you'll have a great view of historic Shack Island and the southern point of Neck Point Park.

Pipers Lagoon is an ideal bird watching retreat. Seagulls, sandpipers, horned grebes, loons, kingfishers, oyster catchers and great blue herons a just some of the varieties of bird life.

It's also a great spot for beachcombing year round and in the summer some hardy folks even swim here. On windy days bring your kite and watch it dance.
