Our note
This is the part of Filberg you can rely on year round, because the grounds are free and never close while the lodge and the farm only open in summer. There is nowhere indoors to shelter, so a wet forecast means a wet trip. Dogs are not allowed at all, which catches some families out.

What the children do

Free, year round access to the nine acre grounds and gardens, open daily from dawn until dusk. The park holds a herb garden, pollinator and butterfly beds, a bat box, mason bee houses, a green roof on the pump house and the Greig rhododendron collection. The Town of Comox and the association publish a free self-guided walk, The Trees of Filberg, as a downloadable guide divided into six sections so a visit can be broken up. No booking route, group rate or group size limit is published for ordinary park use.

Walk the paths and open meadows between flowerbeds and rare trees, follow the printed tree walk from marker to marker, and look for the bat box on the fence line by Gate 1 and the mason bee houses around the grounds. There is a stream, a beachfront and open lawn to picnic on.

Good to know

Free to walk in, washrooms in two places on site with a changing table in one, and picnicking on the meadows. There is no indoor room if it rains, and bus parking is not stated anywhere, so check before you bring a coach.

Sources disagree. Their gift shop page gives the days the lodge is open two different ways. One line says Friday to Sunday, another says weekends. If you want the house open when you arrive, check the day with them first.
Sources disagree. One of their pages says there is nowhere indoors to go if it rains. Another says the restaurant in the park has a heated covered patio and some indoor seating. Ask whether a group can sit there in bad weather, because the two answers do not match.
Washrooms
Filberg Park has two sets of washrooms that are available for use. Two are located by the Cutting Garden in the Boathouse, and two are located by the Grape Arbour. All of our washrooms are accessible and have a concrete path leading up to them. There is a changing table in the women's washroom located by the Grape Arbour. The Upper Washrooms will be open daily from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. After 4:00 PM, the Lower Washrooms, located by the beachfront by the Cutting Garden, will remain available for public use.
Lunch space
Meandering the paths and open meadows are perfect for a stroll, a picnic, or quiet contemplation.
Rain backup
Filberg Park has no control over the weather and does not have interior space available for use if it rains. Two 10 x 10 tents can be rented and require notice in advance to ensure that we have staff available to set them up.
