Read moreThis 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.
