Tetrahedron Provincial Park is a provincial park located within the territory of the shíshálh Nation on the southern Sunshine Coast, in British Columbia, Canada. The park was created in 1995 thanks to the efforts of a collective of NGOs who came together to protect the headwaters of the Chapman Creek and Gray Creek Community Watersheds from commercial logging activities.[1]
