Exploring Beacon Hill Park in Winter

Beacon Hill Park is one of Victoria’s most beloved green spaces, and it transforms beautifully in winter. While flowers and peacocks make it lively in spring and summer, the cooler months bring a quieter charm — crisp air, ocean breezes, and tranquil walking paths. Whether you’re out for a jog, a family stroll, or some peaceful birdwatching, Beacon Hill in winter is worth a visit.

Although concerts pause for the season, the Bandshell area remains a lovely gathering space for winter walks.
