Beacon Hill Park is near the downtown, easily accessible by walk if you stay somewhere in downtown Victoria. The park is well maintained and you won't feel dangerous while walking around the park. This park would be a perfect spot to take your morning coffee, walk around and get a nice morning breeze. The air quality is so good that you don't want to miss that. You can see Peacocks 🦚  on photos ...

Perhaps I've seen too little, but this park is the only place I've visited that has free-ranging peacocks. Of course, there are many other interesting wildlife besides peacocks. It's just blissful to hang out in the park and see all the animals and plants.

Beautiful park in the middle of downtown Victoria. There is a lot to see and a lot of tranquil pathways to tread through. I'm surprised that this park hosts peacocks, and they can climb trees! Amenities are plentiful, including several washrooms and two playgrounds. There is no shortage of parking spaces in and around the park as well. Definitely a great place to spend time in Victoria.

Lovely walking path with numerous places you can hike down to the water easily. Beach is filled with smooth rocks of various sizes. Just a delightful place to get some fresh air and enjoy the beauty.

Beautiful park. Can spend a day , great access to nature and few animals , especially peacocks 🦚, they are so beautiful ! A great place for picnics and walks. Children would enjoy watching animals. Entry to this park is free, however to get close access to lambs , there is a ticket which costs $6 for adults and $4 for children . Overall you can have a good time and worth the visit!
