Parks in the area:

Arbutus Grove Provincial Park- Arbutus Grove Provincial Park is only a 14 minute drive north-west of downtown Lantzville and appeals to all outdoor enthusiasts. The park was established as a Provincial Park in July of 1966. It aims to protect a representative stand of Arbutus trees. Hikers use the park as a quiet, nature-viewing area.

Lantzville Foothills- Just north of town lay the Lantzville Foothills. The Foothills provide a 7km hike or a shorter 4km loop and million dollar views of Nanaimo and the ocean. Some residents are concerned that these viewpoints will not be available to the public much longer, however the various developers that plan to build on the land have promised to reserve the peaks of the hills as parkland.

Sebastian Beach Park – Sebastian Beach is a popular swimming beach that affords a pleasant safe setting much of the year. The bay setting provides a mixed setting, part sand and part rock. The rock is an extension of the point at Sebastian Road and supports many types of fish and marine life. The setting is quite exposed to the North West winds of the summer, but is quite protected in the winter from the South East winds. The bay is a pleasant place to visit, however the water is not very deep. This beach is very popular with both canoers & kayakers alike.
