The Deep Pool at Kennedy Flat at the confluence of the Sooke and Leech Rivers is Vancouver Island's best-kept secret. Those fortunate enough to know of and have access to it can enjoy the best swimming hole on the Sooke River.
“Kapoor Regional Park is ideally located at the end of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, and is also the northwest
anchor of the Sea to Sea Green Blue Belt. With this key location, park visitors will be able to experience a relatively wild and remote area with comparative ease. The primary focus will be on providing visitors with opportunities to enjoy compatible, nature-based recreational activities, such as swimming, hiking, biking, and equestrian use. Opportunities will also be provided for education and interpretation of the area’s natural and cultural history.
Community engagement in projects and activities to commemorate the park’s rich cultural history will be particularly emphasized.
The management plan has received strong public support. The planning process has involved years of
extensive input from the public, First Nations, governments, interest groups, as well as a Management Plan
Advisory Group.
On behalf of the Parks Committee, I commend staff and the many groups, agencies and individuals who contributed to the management plan, which will guide decision-making for these parks. It moves our vision further along its way, and eventually, towards a lasting legacy we can all be proud of.” — CRD Parks Committee
