Pioneer Park
 

Park Type: Community Park
Size: 0.85 ha

Pioneer Park is a dedicated green space located at the intersection of West Saanich and Clarke roads in the heart of Brentwood Bay.  Officially dedicated in September, 1987, in memory of the early settlers, this site was formerly used for school purposes.  West Saanich School remains a prominent feature within the Park today.

Built in 1908, with a 2nd classroom added in 1916, this structure is the oldest school house on its original foundation on the Saanich Peninsula.  In recent years, restoration of this structure has been undertaken to ensure its continued service as a community hall.

A stroll through Pioneer Park in the spring offers visitors a stunning display of rhododendrons.  With rolling lawns and park benches, this is a great spot to enjoy an outdoor lunch, read a book or just take in the sights and sounds of the village.  Each summer, the Brentwood Bay Festival and Music-In-The-Park events held within Pioneer Park, are popular with residents and visitors alike.
