Foster Park is in the seaside community of Esquimalt, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. With a view over Royal Roads Bay and the Olympic Mountains across the Strait of Juan de Fuca, this pebble beach can be access through a concrete staircase. There might be logs to rest upon. At the top of the staircase an anchor symbol is embedded in the roadway barrier. A short walk of three steps leads to a viewpoint that is fenced with a chain-link barrier. There are benches to sit on. Foster Park s a wonderful place to enjoy a view of the water of the Strait of Juan de Fuca which ships use to access the Pacific Ocean. The street and park name commemorates a Major George Foster, a retired British Army officer whom, in the eighteen sixty, was the Esquimalt District Member of the House of Assembly for Vancouver Island.
