Calvert Pond Park is in the District of Saanich, one of thirteen areas that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This ten-hectare parkland lies on the near Prospect Lake and contains a few single-track trails. The Calvert Family donated the land to Saanich. It is a good bird watching area and forest bathing stroll. The footpath borders the pond and leads to Trevlac Place over a rolling kilometer. This is a good place to walk in your backyard
