Dallas Road
Dallas Road has an expansive view of the Juan de Fuca Strait and Olympic Park Mountain Range. I love coming down here so Eddie can look at kites, paragliders, enormous cruise ships and the ocean. Simply start at Ogden Point and skirt along the cliffs at Holland Point Park until you reach Clover Point Park. Dallas Road borders along countless other strolls, including James Bay, Beacon Hill Park and Cook Street Village. Or venture past Clover Point to find Ross Bay Cemetery, an historical graveyard.
Rockland Heights
We used to live in an apartment building on Rockland Avenue, so I did this stroll about every week until Eddie was 8-months old. A good idea is to start at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, wander along Rockland Avenue to Government House, turn on Joan Crescent to find Craigdarroch Castle, and return to the Gallery via Fort Street. There are no playgrounds in this stately and historical neighbourhood, but there is a nice pond with ducks and turtles at Government House.
