Kapoor Regional Park
Regional Park
Sooke
Kapoor Regional Park is located at the end of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, along the Sooke River, past Sooke Potholes Regional Park. The area has many old trails and roads, covering almost two kilometers of riverfront land.
The park is next to the historic site of Leechtown, a mid-19th century gold mining town, and was once home to railway logging operations. Kapoor is dedicated to Kapoor Singh Siddoo (1885-1964), a pioneer lumberman and visionary.
Today, there are no standing structures, but you can find old mining and logging equipment scattered throughout the area, along with Kapoor's second-growth forest, which shows the industry that once thrived here.
Kapoor is the northwest end of the Galloping Goose Regional Trail, making it a great spot to finish your bike ride or walk. You can reach it from Sooke Potholes Regional Park.
