Dinner Bay Community Park and Japanese Garden

While exploring Mayne Island (between enjoying the hot tub and walking the beaches!) we discovered a great community park just across the road from where we were staying. 

An even nicer discovery was that within the community park was a Japanese Garden, established by the residents of Mayne Island to recognize the contributions on early Japanese settlers, many who were relocated to New Denver during WWII and never returned to Mayne Island.

It is a peaceful garden, filled with plants, trees, pieces of art and historical articfacts. If you visit Mayne Island, make time to visit this garden!
