Firwood Park is in the seaside community of Sooke, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This one and half hectare park is a nature park with steep slopes and a rough walking trail that connects with trails that lead into Broom Hill Park. The trail parallels Ella Creek that flows toward the Strait of Juan de Fuca. The foot path is often muddy and washed out. This a good place to walk in your back yard.
