The immaculately kept Willow Park is a gated 55+ community. It is truly an urban setting in a suburb. This mobile park backs onto a green space like no other. There are endless hiking trails weaving their way around Mt. Benson, to Westwood Lake, a jewel of a park that has it all; sparkling clear waters to swim, fish and kayak in, and of course a fabulous beach area where you work on your tan. Morrell Sanctuary and Buttertubs Marsh are yet two more wonderful areas where you can stretch your legs and breath in the smells and sights of nature.
Colliery Dams are just a stone's throw away, also boasting beaches and lakes to cool off in. This area too, has great biking and hiking trails, and not a bad place to through a line in the water!
Need something more challenging? A short car ride away, and you can take a rope ladder down to majestic Ammonite Falls, hike up to the magnificent massive crack in the Earth called The Abyss, or really give yourself a workout, and head to the top of Mt. Benson.
While it has that urban feel, Willow Park has all the amenities of the suburbs. The streets in this friendly community are superbly tidy and well-groomed There is plenty of shopping nearby . . . University Village Mall has a variety of shops and stops - including fast food outlets, a pharmacy, a grocery store, and a Bingo Hall.

Refresh yourself after in one of the area's many and varied watering holes Hungry? The area has many restaurants, including Baby Salsa, Gateway to India, Hot Chai, and of course the Discovery Room at VIU. At Willow Park, there is plenty to do just minutes away from your door!
