Welcome Green Space is in the seaside community of Sidney, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This small green space, located on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Second Street, greets travelers as they exit the Anacortes/Friday Harbour Ferry. It is a island of green with a huge sign, well maintained flower beds with a lovely totem pole. Water Front Walkway is across the road. Tulista and Iroquois parks are immediately north. The Lochside Regional Trail-Sidney is also close by.
