The park consists of three parcels located on Spike Road in the Railway neighbourhood of Black Creek and is within the unceded traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation.

Spike Road Park was established through three acquisitions: a 74-acre parcel purchased in 2022, and two parcels with a combined area of 116 acres purchased in 2024, for a total of 190 acres.

The CVRD will develop a management plan for the park. The plan will guide decision-making for the park and outline the vision and management directions based on existing and potential ecological, cultural, and recreational values identified through a management planning process.

Residents and the community will be able to complete a 3-5 minute survey asking for feedback and what they envision for the park.

While some amenities may be possible (benches, walking/bike paths, etc.), the location of the park features may depend on topography and geography changes to the land, as a large portion of it is an ecologically sensitive wetland.

• The Park is within the unceded traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation; the CVRD is committed to reconciliation and relationship building with Indigenous Peoples and fully respects K’ómoks’ interest in the land within and surrounding the park.
• On April 17, 2023, the Electoral Areas Services Committee directed staff to establish the park to protect a large ecologically sensitive wetland and extend the One Spot Trail through the 1,400 metre unopened road dedication which bisects a portion of the park.
• The Park is located within the Agricultural Land Reserve and is subject to provincial agricultural regulations and approvals.
• The Electoral Areas Services Committee directed staff to develop a park management plan for Spike Road Park that focuses on managing the entire park primarily for conservation.

No public access is currently permitted to ensure public safety and to protect the park’s fragile ecosystems. The park will be opened to the public once the management planning process is complete and any infrastructure that supports public access is developed.
