District of Sooke updates Parks Finder Map
Visitors will have an easier time exploring Sooke’s 72 parks after the district announced the launch of an updated version of the Parks Finder Map on July 9.
"Our parks serve as essential spaces for recreation, relaxation, and connecting with nature,” said manager of parks and environmental services Emma Taylor. “With the introduction of this upgraded tool, we aim to make it easier than ever for residents to discover and enjoy the diverse range of parks available in Sooke."
The Parks Finder Map utilizes maps and data collected from unofficial documents of the District of Sooke and a variety of other sources; created to help visitors and residents learn more about the area and the amenities, green spaces, walking trails and more. While not suggested as a direct navigational tool, the map is a great source for easily accessible information and tips.
