    Campbell Valley Regional Park - South Entrance

    First time visiting this park and we saw lots of wildlife here…read more I like how the info board at the entrance of the park tells you where everything is and the estimated time it will take to complete each trail, and the distance of the trail and if it's flat or steep elevation. Very useful and helpful to decide which trail to go. We decided to do the Mini River Loop trail which is 2.3 km and will take about an hour to complete. However from the south entrance, we need to take the South Valley trail which is steep downhill to the valley where it will meet the Mini River Loop trail. Fortunately the steepness is not so bad and you can walk on the side which is grass if you are like me, afraid of slipping on the loose gravels in the middle. Just watch out for wildlife. We saw a skinny snake on the south valley trail. I was too stunned and by the time I wanted to take a picture, the snake has slithered across to the grass area. I managed to take a pic of it entering the forest. Only 2 steep parts of the south valley trail and then it was flat before meeting the Mini River Loop trail. That is a very nice walk with benches scattered around. On that trail, we saw chipmunk and squirrel and some tiny birds hopping on the ground. You can also hear the birds chirping and animals rustling among the leaves and bushes in the forest. We also saw people walking and running with their dogs, having picnics. A very nice place to be with nature and do some forest bathing. There is a pond near the parking lot and we heard the bullfrogs and saw ducks there. Definitely recommended for a simple commune with nature.

    First time walking through this park. Lots of great trails and you can spend hours hiking…read more You'll see lots of families and dogs walking. For the most part it's pretty clean and a well maintained trail. Lots of signs and maps so you don't have to worry about getting lost. Cell phone service varies depending on how deep the tree canopy is so be aware. There are washrooms along the trail near the garden park. Definitely will come back for this little slice of heaven in my back yard.

    Heritage Park is the best park in Mission for me to walk around to get fresh air and exercise. Even…read moreon its dreariest days, it is still a great walkabout. The landscape and forestry is vast and beautiful, and the gravel trails are consistent with the layout of the park. I even like the sight of the cemetery and garden beds that I pass by while walking. This park is a hot spot for a lot of events and attractions. There is also the Sunflower Lodge, which is a great eatery. A lot of people have judged this park harshly on the fact that it was located at a residential school, where aboriginal kids have been abused. I try to see the beauty in the scenery rather than the dark history that occurred behind it. I was even at the Stolo Nation ceremony they held at Heritage Park, where people of Aboriginal descents delineate on the dark history and suffrage behind the residential schools while taking solace on the recognition of the truth and expressing their hardships through their ceremonies. Overall, I enjoy coming to Heritage Park whenever I feel like going outdoors and embrace nature.

There are several kilometers of scenic landscape trails within the park area, boasting a variety of plants and trees. It is also the site of 2 former residential schools. The is offers multiple education opportunities that include: Aboriginal settlements, customs and livelihood, the horrific history of residential schools and the long term, multi generational trauma experienced by the descendants of aboriginal settlers as a result of the residential schools. The name of the park and dedicated memorials are a work in progress to more accurately reflect the history of the site. The park is also home to many festivals and community events (events were suspended due to the pandemic). There is also a lovely restaurant-the Blackberry Kitchen on site. Be sure and call for reservations and opening closing times.
