Description:
This undeveloped natural area (30.635 hectares) bounded by residences, suburban streets, and the ocean on its eastern boundary provides an excellent example of Garry Oak meadow and associated ecosystems. The park has one of the greatest concentrations of rare plant species in all of Canada.]

There are two parts to Uplands Park. Cattle Point is on the water side of Beach Drive and offers a beautiful shoreline. Uplands Park itself, is on the other side of Beach Drive, across from Cattle Point. The Beach Drive entrance is indicated by a sign that says “Uplands Park”. There is a small parking lot at the entrance to Cattle Point, beside a grassy area, where the Friends of Uplands Park hold their annual events: the Broom Bash (October) and the Uplands Park Celebration (late April or early May) when the Garry Oak Meadow spring flowers are in bloom.
