Centennial Park is a 18.42 hectare community park, located in the 7500 block of Wallace Drive, in Saanichton. It was created in 1958 to commemorate the establishment of British Columbia as a Crown Colony 100 years earlier. Since then, the park has grown in size and has a wide array of features including two sports fields (six ball diamonds), concessions (open seasonally); a large children's playground; three picnic shelters; a lawn bowling green and club house; a lacrosse box; three tennis courts; walking trails; natural areas and a fieldhouse (with public washrooms).
Facilities within the park are available for reservation, see our Park Request Form.
Graham Creek flows along the western boundary of Centennial Park. Efforts to restore and enhance the creek have been made in recent years in partnership with the Hagan Creek - KENNES Watershed Project. Works have included installation of fencing along the creekside trail, interpretive signage and planting of native species within the riparian zone.
Park Updates:
- A new Sport Box facility is coming to Centennial Park thanks to a $2M grant from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. The Centennial Multi Sport Box will host a variety of sports and recreation programs and accommodate many user groups. The facility will be home to the Peninsula Warriors Lacrosse Association and used for other sports and fitness programs. Construction is scheduled to start in September 2024 with completion by March 2026.
