Helliwell Provincial Park, Provincial park on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The park spans 2,872 hectares across a headland with old-growth Douglas-fir trees and rare Garry oak ecosystems bordering the Strait of Georgia.
John Helliwell donated the former Acton family farmland to establish the provincial park in 1966, with subsequent expansions incorporating Flora Islet.
The park maintains four pit toilets and a 5-kilometer loop trail system that guides visitors through meadows and along coastal bluffs.
Visitors reach the park via two ferry connections: from Buckley Bay to Denman Island, then from Denman Island to Hornby Island.
The southern cliffs create specific conditions for pelagic cormorants nesting sites and support an endangered Garry oak meadow ecosystem.
