Simpson Green Space is in the municipality of Central Saanich, one of the thirteen which form the Capital Regional District of British Columbia. Located on the Saanich Peninsula of Vancouver Island, this small green space is a hundred and twenty five meter long trail that leads to Saanichton Green park and Polo Park Crescent. There are several small shrubs including cedar hedges and Oregon grape plants that border the grass covered areas. A long wood fence lines one side of the green space. This is a good place to walk in your backyard.
