The Delora Subdivision comprises 27 lots on 18 acres of detached homes, clustered around three short roads, two accessed from the upland area and one from Wishart Road.
Delora Park comprises six acres or 2.4 hectares. The park can be accessed from a number of pathways linking Delora Road, Tory Road, and Wishart Road. The central part of the park is a high rock bluff upon which a viewing platform has been constructed. The views eastward from this platform are over the main area of Royal Bay, northeast across the ocean to Victoria and beyond to the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Mount Baker.
There are a series of new paths through the trees that link the upland area down to Wishart Road. The paths have been constructed to minimize impact on the vegetation within the parkland area. The paths provide a fine opportunity for recreation with the added pleasure of views glimpsed through the trees. Consultation with local residents on the trail system resulted in design changes, which included the introduction of gravel paths.
A 20m "no cut" tree zone along Wishart Road and a 10m "no cut" tree zone between the Park and the upper residential lots has been established to allow for the retention of mature trees and retain the wooded ambiance.
Delora Park is one of many parks and associated path systems that will be constructed as part of Royal Bay. The park has been well received by local residents and illustrates the standards that future parks in Royal Bay will follow.
