A favorite of Victoria residents and deeply connected to the city’s history, Beacon Hill Parkk spreads over 75 acres along the shore of the Juan de Fuca Strait. Formalized in 1882, Beacon Hill Park is an oasis in the midst of a busy urban setting, consisting of a mix of natural areas and artfully landscaped parks. The views from all corners of the park are breathtaking, whether the fields are covered with miles of seasonal wildflowers or a storm is painting the sea and sky all shades of gray.
Beacon Hill Park has sports fields, a children’s petting zoo, miniature golf, several playgrounds, a cricket pitch, a lawn bowling club and a water park. Cameron Bandshell hosts many concerts during the warm summer evenings and the wind carries the smell of flowers from Victorian flowerbeds and a rose garden, while trees, lakes, and bridges provide lovely walking paths. As you stroll through the park, you can spot herons, otters, raccoons, and squirrels, and the waterways offer home to turtles and crays.
