Background

Spike Road Park is located in the Merville area and was established through three land 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. It was established to protect a large ecologically sensitive wetland known to support the Western Toad and to support the extension of the One Spot Trail through the 1,400-metre unopened road dedication, which goes through the property.

The park is located within the unceded traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, the traditional keepers of the land. The CVRD is committed to reconciliation and relationship building with Indigenous Peoples and recognizes and respects K’ómoks First Nation’s Rights and Title as a Treaty Nation. The property is also located within the Agricultural Land Reserve and is subject to provincial agricultural regulations and approvals.

The CVRD asks the public not to enter the park but rather stay on the One Spot Trail if travelling through the park, as staff work through the management planning process.
