Ship Point Green Space is in the seaside city of Victoria, one of thirteen communities that form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. This is a small green oasis located just off Wharf Street near Ship Point Wharf in downtown Victoria, B.C. Ship Point is part of the wharf in the waters of the inner harbour that provides moorage for large and long vessels that visit the Inner Harbour. The grass covered area is beside a parking area and bordered by the granite and concrete retaining wall below Wharf Street. There are few benches near the horse chestnut trees and landscaped flower beds. This is a lovely stop to rest while strolling along the lower causeway in Victoria’s Inner Harbour. The Tourist Information Center is along the southern side of this green space. There is an outdoor art created by Nathan Scott called the “Homecoming.” It commemorates the return of Canadian navy sailors from their deployment at sea. Customs House Green is to the north along the David Foster Way, a five kilometer harbourside walk from Barclay Point to Ogden Point. The Victoria Harbour Causeway, Empress Hotel and Victoria Conference Center, Cridge Park, Thunderbird Park, Elliot Square, Parliament Building Gardens, Confederation Park, Quadra Park and Belleville Street Green are nearby.
