Beacon Hill Park
Beacon Hill Park Review
The southern lawns and waterfront path of this 154-acre park afford great views of the Olympic Mountains and the Strait of Juan de Fuca. There are ponds, jogging and walking paths, flowers and gardens, a cricket pitch, and a petting zoo (open daily 10-5). There's live music in the bandshell on summer evenings, and on Saturday nights in August the Victoria Film Festival screens free movies.
