About Robert V. Ostler Park
Bounded by the Island Highway and the rocky shoreline, Robert V. Ostler Park serves as the primary civic gathering space for Campbell River. The flat, grassy grounds feature a prominent timber pavilion modeled after a traditional longhouse, alongside carved totem poles that stand near the water's edge.
A paved walking path runs the length of the seawall, providing a steady vantage point for watching ferries, tugboats, and cruise ships pass through the channel. The open lawns frequently host community events and summer festivals, drawing crowds to the waterfront.
Heavy timber picnic tables and scattered benches offer seating facing the ocean. The grounds remain open around the clock, making it a reliable spot for an early morning coffee walk or an evening stroll along the shore.
