Review & FAQ:

The area that is now Beacon Hill Park was once called Meeacan, which means "belly", because the protrusion of the hill from the surrounding area looked like the large, extended stomach of a man lying down on his back. This park, containing almost 200 acres of greenery and gardens, has been a park since 1882. It is located in downtown Victoria and is home to walking trails, playgrounds, sports courts, ponds, and a petting zoo. The park is also home to the world's largest totem pole, which stands at 160 feet tall and was erected in 1956 to honor the First Nations people.
