Swimming, walking, biking or jogging. Good access around the dams and, again, higher dam has an "off leash" dog area. Warm waters for summer dips. I often see the "Kingfisher" and the Ospreys in the park.

Take a tiny walk on ferry over for the day and pack a picnic! I can't say enough about the hiking trails and look outs. One of the jewels of Nanaimo!
