Beacon Hill Park Play Area

Beautiful park with abundant wildlife - peacocks and peahens, squirrels, geese, ducks and the occasional deer. The beacon hill park grounds are huge, so park near the children's farm on Circle Dr for a short walk to the play area. Play area is clean, with swings and multiple slide/play sets available. There is even a fountain for kids to play in on hotter summer days.

I usually love coming to Beacon Hill Park during the day. My fiancée and I decided to go for a walk with our dogs to the park yesterday evening at 6 to meet a couple of other friends. I hate how dark it is at night in the park. We were having a nice time waiting for our friends in the play area with our dogs. But all of a sudden this creepy guy in a trench coat sneaks up on us and walks right in between us in the gazebo. I was tending to our puppy in the stroller and she was playing with our other dog. My fiancée said he was walking directly towards me but then she pointed a flashlight in my direction. I finally noticed him and he stopped for two seconds to look back at us but then kept walking away. No one else was around us. He could’ve easily walked around the gazebo like everyone else. I felt so scared, my fiancée and I immediately left. If beacon hill had more lights around the park at night, people would feel safer and be able to enjoy the park in the evenings when it’s darker.

This playground is absolutely awesome. If you are visiting Victoria and have kids this is a must.The playground has something for all ages. It is well kept and a very busy spot so kids will have lots of opportunities to play with new friends.Nearby washrooms are clean and well supplied. The playground is inside Beacon Hill Park so it is maintained regularly.Plenty of open space for picnic blankets. A covered gazebo for those days that are a bit wet or too sunny. Picnic tables are plentiful as well.There is free parking nearby as well for those who need it. Many nearby attractions also make this a great spot to start at for a day of fun.Overall a definitely great. Don't miss this gem hidden in Beacon Hill Park!

Great playground! Caution on sunny days the slides are HOT. But clean and well maintained. Kids had a blast!

The playground is great but the splash pad is extremely underwhelming. Also it's in the shade.

Great spot to take your kids after they get bored from the beautiful (to parents) walk around in the forest, across streams and past big ponds with fountains. During summer there's a water park portion that operates, used to go there alot as a kid

Nice park.

Kid friendly, beautiful views, lovely trails

Lovely play park. Kids had great fun in a beautiful park setting. Well looked after. Clearly take a lot of pride in their parks.Edit: Any time of year is excellent in Beacon Hill Park, but Spring is special. There is so much to see and smell and hear! There are so many things happening, it is difficult to know what to talk about! I do know my Favourite s are the Herons !Especially as we see them flying to and from their nests from our apartment. To the waterfront at night to load up with food for their Mates on their nests, and soon, for the young ones that will be arriving.And flying back to their nests in the morning to deliver their nightly haul. Fighting whatever winds may be blowing!The Park is like a World of its own. With the wildlife, myriad of plant life, and many lakes and ponds , one may spend any amount of time, enjoying the spectacle.
