solstice & equinox. We also celebrate World Labyrinth Day
Summer Solstice Labyrinth Walk ‐ Friday, June 20th, 2025, 4:00 pm
It is with great pleasure that we announce a public celebration to herald in the summer season. Friday, June 20th, 4:00 pm at the Lakeside Labyrinth in Lakeside Park, Nelson. Join us for a community walk through the labyrinth.
Summer Solstice represents the longest day of the year with the greatest number of daylight hours. We are celebrating the light within each of us, encouraging it to shine brightly, as a beacon of right relationship with the world.
We reflect on this past season to acknowledge the lessons and experiences we've received, but now we move forward, with awareness and conscious intention, to live in a world co‐created with nature and with each other in all our diversity.
What are the changes you would like to imagine, moving forward into the summer season? Come and share a labyrinth walk with like‐minded community members and let's manifest a world that serves everyone with equality and respect. Be the light ‐ shine brightly.
See you at Lakeside Park on Friday, June 20th at 4:00 pm. Bring your family and perhaps a picnic supper. Children love the labyrinth; they feel the energy so much and love the mysterious sound when they clap in the centre.
The labyrinth is open to all; it is wheelchair accessible and is always free to walk. You can find it next to the tennis and basketball courts, embraced by crab‐apple trees and restful benches.

Great things are happening down at Lakeside Park!
The City of Nelson Parks Department planted a series of red cedar trees around the southern perimeter of Lakeside Labyrinth. These trees will provide a buffer between the noisy basketball and tennis courts and the labyrinth. The hedge will also offer an enclosed, and more intimate, labyrinth experience for all users.
This project has been years in the making, and would not have happened without the tireless and heartfelt dedication of Jennifer Lount‐Taylor. We want to personally acknowledge Jennifer for being our liaison to the City of Nelson, and ensuring that this beautiful addition to Lakeside Park has now become a reality. From the bottom of our hearts, thanks and gratitude.
We also wish to thank the City of Nelson Parks Department for maintaining the perimeter gardens, and keeping the labyrinth clean and tidy prior to our seasonal walks.
