“the major roles of the Highlands are to preserve large areas of green space, to protect elements of the region’s ecosystems, and to provide outdoor recreational opportunities for Capital Regional District residents and visitors.”
The other primary active recreation park is Eagles Lake. Eagles Lake features a small swimming beach and picnic area. Many local residents cool off in the waters at Eagles Lake. The beach area at the lake is not large but it is supplied with fresh sand each summer.
One of the unique Highlands features of the lake is a cob washroom with a composting toilet which was build by volunteers (Eco-Sense and members of the Highlands Parks and Recreation Association). The washrooms feature the building techniques used in cob construction and has a living roof!
