About the Park
Notice: COVID-19 has impacted services in some parks. Please visit www.bcparks.ca to see which parks have been affected.
This park features the only remaining coal tipple on the Island. It is a relic of Vancouver Island’s rich coal mining history. This is a small undeveloped day-use park with no facilities. The tipple is all that remains of the Morden Coal Mine, which once thrived here.

The #mordencolliery Experience
The headframe and tipple at Morden Mine are looking a little bit different these days, but it's nice to see the stabilization and restoration work progressing again.

Rolled my pants up so I could walk across the river. Then I remembered I have a big giant Moose-dog. I was soaked in no time.

Enjoyed our beautiful evening walk at Morden Colliery Historic Provincial Park, but disappointed someone has stolen a bench from there. ☹️
