Apodaca Provincial Park, Provincial park in Bowen Island, Canada.

Apodaca Provincial Park spans 8 hectares along the central eastern shoreline of Bowen Island, featuring scenic cliffs and rocky coastal landscapes.

Major J.S. Matthews donated the land in 1954 as a memorial to his son, while Spanish explorer José María Narváez named the area during his 1791 expedition.

The park stands on traditional lands of Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh, and Musqueam Nations, known in Squamish language as Estítkw.

The park requires water access as private properties block land entry, and visitors need to bring their own water supplies as no facilities exist.

The park contains plant communities within the Coastal Western Hemlock zone, including Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, salal, and Pacific madrone trees.

Location: Metro Vancouver Regional District
