Pay parking at Sooke Potholes & Thetis Lake Regional Parks
Pay parking at Sooke Potholes and Thetis Lake regional parks is in effect for the summer season from May 1 to September 30. At Sooke Potholes pay parking is at parking Lots 1, 2 and 3; at Thetis it is at the main parking lot, overflow parking and West Beach. Revenue collected from parking fees helps to offset the costs of park services for visitors. Parking is free at all other regional parks and regional trails.
Daily and seasonal passes
The cost of parking is $2.00 for two hours, $4.00 per day, or $30 for a season's pass. A seasonal parking pass is valid at both parks. The ticket dispensers accept loonies, toonies, quarters and credit cards. You may also purchase a ticket or seasonal pass using the ZipBy App. The parking pass uses a pay-by-plate system whereby the parking pass is associated with a specific vehicle. You do not need to display a pass in your vehicle. Pay parking is operated by Robbins Parking.
The CRD reminds visitors that Sooke Potholes and Thetis Lake are open sunrise to sunset. Parking is free during the off-season (October 1 to April 30).
