Eastview Park in the seaside community of Sidney, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This small waterfront park, about 2200 square meters, hosts panoramic ocean views, lovely gardens and unique outdoor art. The view of the ocean waters of the Salish Sea are breathtaking. Look over the waters of Sidney Channel with Sidney Island, James Island, Forest Island, Dock Island and the Shell Island group from Eastview Park with the green hedges and lovely gardens in the foreground. The view of Mt Baker in Washington State adds to the view on those sunshine filled days.. The cedar hedge is well manicured as it’s the grass covered area. The gardens provide the setting for the outdoor art sculptures which will captivate you with unique sights and sounds. The Water Front Walkway passes along the shore line and the Bevan Wharf allows access over the water. There are a few benches that encourage lingering longer or stroll along the Waterfront Walkway northward to Beacon Park or southward toward Tulista Park and the Anacortes Ferry Terminal.
