Helliwell Provincial Park, Provincial park on Hornby Island, British Columbia, Canada.

Helliwell Provincial Park occupies St. John's Point, a wooded headland at the southwest tip of Hornby Island, with 69 hectares of land and 2,803 hectares of foreshore and surrounding waters. A trail loops around bluffs that drop 10 to 15 metres to the Strait of Georgia and links with Tribune Bay. The highest ground, about 30 metres, lies in the northeast, and Flora Islet, a rock offshore, is part of the park.

The area was established in 1966 after John Helliwell donated former Acton family farmland for protection. Later expansions incorporated Flora Islet into the park's boundaries.

The park serves as a place where visitors experience the meeting of forest and ocean directly. The open terrain with meadows and coastal bluffs draws people seeking to explore nature and take in the views.

Reaching the park requires two ferry connections: from Buckley Bay to Denman Island, then to Hornby Island. The trails are equipped with basic facilities and accessible to visitors of varying fitness levels.

The cliffs along the southern shore drop 10 to 15 metres and shelter a microclimate that local community groups are working to protect. Pelagic cormorants nest on these rock faces, and the park's Garry oak meadow is listed as an endangered habitat.
