Description:
Beacon Hill Park is Victoria's answer to "Central Park". It's right in the heart of the city, and feels amazingly removed from the city. There's something to do or see for all ages, at all times of the year.

Other comment or suggestions:
Beacon Hill park can also be enjoyed throughout the summer and fall. Beautiful quiet walks, ducks and pigeons, kite flying, and an incredible view over Clover Point.
