Pine Ridge Park is in the seaside community of Sooke, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This small parkland has a forest nature trail and a small grass covered area. From Parkridge Place a small wooden bridge and a fence line of cedar hedge trees line the gravel walkway into the park. This walk way is about thirty meters long. The park is about four hectares of cedar, hemlock and fir trees with many small shrubs. A play area is near the grass covered field that leads to Rhodonite Drive. The rough pathway to Rhodonite Drive is about forty-five meters. This is a popular place for runners, dog walkers and to take a respite from the day. This is a good place to walk in your backyard.
