Kaloya Regional Park
Kaloya Regional Park is a peninsula that juts into Kalamalka Lake at Oyama, with a sandy beach and swim area on one side and a lilypad pond on the other, which makes it an ideal spot to swim, picnic and go bird watching in a single visit. Easy walking trails loop the shore, a playground and a picnic shelter make it comfortable for families, and the trail and washrooms are accessible. Dogs are not permitted on the beach or playground; between November 1 and March 31 they may use the rest of the park on leash. The parking lot is at the end of Trask Road.

Kopje Regional Park

Swimming areas, a playground, a sports field and picnic tables make it comfortable for families, with accessible washrooms and flat turf, plus parking. Dogs are not usually permitted; from November 1 to March 31 the park opens to off-leash use.

Reiswig Regional Park
Reiswig Regional Park is where you relax on the shores of Wood Lake with plenty of space on the beach or the lawn, and its mature poplars are a big part of the appeal on a hot afternoon: swim, then retreat to the shade and the picnic area, and watch for osprey nesting in the canopy. There is a walking track, accessible washrooms and parking, and the Beasley Park gazebo next door is available first-come, first-served. Dogs are not permitted in Reiswig, and next door in Beasley Park they are not allowed from April 1 to September 30.
