Beacon Hill Park is Victoria’s oldest and most popular park. It boasts an ornamental lake with a beautiful stone bridge which is home to a vast array of wild fowl including Blue Herons that nest in the old growth trees that surround the lake. Walk up Beacon Hill for spectacular views of the Olympic Mountains and the waterfront. You can watch cricket being played on the cricket pitch and stroll through the many flower gardens. If you are lucky you can also enjoy performances at the band shell. The park is a must see for anyone visiting Victoria.
The Canadian lighthouse is also a place worth visiting close to the coastline. The park is also pretty good, with a large green area, some flowers and insects. The green background color can be seen here all year round.
