In 1997, the District acquired this 10.20-hectare hilltop park located south of Benvenuto Avenue, between Wallace Drive and West Saanich Road.

In recent years, the District entered into a conservation covenant with Habitat Acquisiton Trust (HAT) and the Land Conservancy of BC to ensure the long-term protection of this Garry oak ecosystem.

A 15-minute hike to the summit rewards the visitor with spectacular views of Saanich Inlet, Peninsula farmland, Sidney and James Islands.  Late winter/early spring brings an amazing bloom of wild flowers, including: satin flower, camas, shooting star, harvest brodiaea, nodding onion and red columbine, to name a few.

Eradication of invasive species, including Scotch Broom and daphne has begun with the assistance of volunteer work parties co-ordinated by HAT.

The Oak Haven Park Management Plan* was completed in 1997.
