Victoria’s Historic Heights: An Audio Tour Through Beacon Hill

  • Mobile ticket

  • Offered in: English

Victoria’s largest public park is a beloved urban oasis, steeped in natural splendour and cultural history. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll discover its distinctive landscapes, from Gary Oak meadows and shimmering lakes, to vibrant gardens and coastal viewpoints. The tour begins at the corner of Douglas and Southgate Streets, marked by a log sign and historic maritime artefacts. You’ll weave through the park’s varied terrain, passing Dawn Redwoods, a medieval-style stone bridge, and tranquil lakes filled with waterfowl and turtles. Along the way, you’ll find yourself traversing the same land that First Nations peoples stewarded for thousands of years, evident in ancient burial cairns and symbolic public art. The tour ends at the cricket pitch, where matches have been played since the 1850s, and nearby Cook Street Village where you can explore further.
