Apodaca Provincial Park

About

The area currently known as Apodaca Park was designated a provincial park in 1954. The property was donated by Major J.S. Matthews, a noted Vancouver historian, as a memorial to his son, who died at age 22. The park bears the name given to the islands at the entrance to Howe Sound by early Spanish navigators.

The park lies within the Coastal Western Hemlock bio-geoclimatic zone. It is home to Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, salal, and arbutus. Slope, drainage, and local weather patterns contribute to the presence of rocky knoll vegetation. This is more typical of the Gulf Islands and Southern Vancouver Island than the Lower Mainland region.
