Fillongley Provincial Park

About this park

This small picturesque park on the north side of Denman Island offers an idyllic location to enjoy a picnic and spend a quiet afternoon. The land that is now Fillongley Provincial Park was bequeathed to the province of British Columbia by George Beadnell, an Englishman who settled here at the turn of the century. Over the years, Beadnell developed Fillongley into one of the most beautiful estates in the Gulf Islands. A large, flat grassy field once the site of a bowling green comes alive with vibrant wildflowers in the spring. Set amongst a canopy of imported deciduous trees, this park is also noted for its beautiful display of colours in the fall. Ten campsites are located along the ocean, and there are several walking trails through the park where visitors can observe the old-growth cedar forest, a salmon spawning stream and remains of the old homestead.
