I have lived in Victoria for 8 months now, but discovered this park quite recently. It's a beautiful place with herons, ducks, peacocks, turtles, squirrels which are living as if it's their natural habitat. This sweet serene atmosphere calms the mind and the soul. Weekdays are better because it's less crowded. Don't feed the animals or birds!!! They are being taken care of by the park management.
My concert band and I just did a concert here and while the park was absolutely beautiful, whoever was in charge of removing the gate from the band dome didn't do their job. we had to perform standing on the grass in front of the benches which sucked, as I'm a French horn player. but yeah, other than that, the park itself was beautiful and there were giant herons nesting in the canopy all around us which was neat
Superb!!! What a gorgeous park that includes a petting zoo and miles of beautiful park . Easy walking to the beach and also the world's largest totem pole. Expect to see lots of beautiful things including beautiful people. Lots of dogs walking around having fun. Wild peacocks are a nice treat.
We stayed near beacon Hill park and walked through almost every day while in Victoria. The flowers were out, the ducks were out, and the peacocks were entertaining. I'm always impressed by the forethought of city planners to have a beautiful area like this in the middle of a city. I'm also impressed that the current leaders don't allow encroachment but keep it as a green space for all to enjoy. Well done Victoria!
We absolutely love Beacon Hill Park and we visit it at least once on our almost yearly trip to Victoria. The Park is always so well looked after. The trees are old and tall and beautiful
The flower beds are varied and colorful. The big pond with the fountain is a favourite spot . We picnicked on a park bench. The turtles were sunning themselves on a long log! The ducks were busy and the geese were busy, as usual. We will return next year, of course.
