Rene Klinkenberg

Awesome place for rc trIl tru s and crawlers.. live this place

Marcus Magdalena

A quaint park nestled at the top of Lampson. Vancouver Island knows what's it doing in regards to the parks. And that's about all Vancouver Island is doing right.

Lovely space

Sam White

Lovely park

Moni Nassif

Great view for a short walk

István Pap

Used to be my favourite park before dog owners started letting their animals run hog willd through a protected ecosystem with fragile meadows and wildflowers that are endemic to our island. The dog park was only ever intended to be the southern mowed green field in the park and shame on everyone who allows their off leash dogs to chase the deer and rabbits out of this sensitive area.

Evgeny Popelnitskiy

Nice place, but looks like 'dogs toilet'. Too many dogs and droppings...

Blind Guy RC

I like at the entrance on cairn road in the appartment. So my back yard is this park. Great for kids. Small hikes. Dogs love it. Great place for rc trail truck fun. I filmed alot of YouTube videos up here with my rc channel.

FollowThePod

Great shirt hike to ocean view point rock.

Andrew Lawson

Simple park with a lot of bushes. Decent view at the top of a hill. Field that is good for dogs.

Erik Cutts

It’s indeed a park with rocks. Minus one star for being only somewhat high.

Larren Odland

Awesome at night for city vista

Jolene

I found this park on one of my long walks through Esquimalt. I had no idea that such a wonderful park existed. Some of the trails I walked on we're a bit unkept but for the most part it was well looked after. Most of the park was an off leash dog park and if I had a dog I would definitely go here. I felt as though I wasn't in Esquimalt anymore it was such a nice park.

R Shaye

Beautiful!

Scott Karlen

Great place to watch the sunset behind mountainous hills and look at the ocean at the same time. Lots of Garry Oaks and rocks to climb on.

amanda dreher-mccomb

Beautiful natural park dog allowed

Jeff Somerville

Ezra

Hidden gem in Esquimalt, great 360 views of Victoria, the Sooke hills, mountains and ocean.

Great park to walk through and see the sunrise/sunset, or just watch a storm roll over victoria

G Cogswell

Great place to take your dog.

Rick Danyluck

Great view of ocean

Dale Matheson

First time here, and oh my gosh. What a gem. Lots of panoramic views. Lots of flat rock to sun on. A flat grassy plateau for a game of catch. Asphalt and dirt pathways. Careful on the dirt ones though, lots of rock to trip on. If you are looking for a different perspective, this is it.

Nic Hume

Gorgeous little park with great views. Easily missed, even by locals. If you haven't visited, you should.

ace of mase

It's great. Way high up on a rock.

Agustina Aquim

(Translated) The park itself is not very nice, but it has a very good view where you can see the entire city of Victoria. (Original) No es muy lindo el parque en si, pero si tiene en la punta una muy buena vista donde se puede ver toda la ciudad de Victoria.

Shane Groth (Shaneomack)

Nice place to have a little hike with ur dog or just to unwind

Teddi-Lee Thompson

Relaxing yet close to home

Jordan Marlatt

A really nice neighborhood park, which comes in handy with all the... *gestures around* Great view from the top. Great off-leash area for dogs. Lots of native flora, and, if it's quiet, fauna, too.

Jafar Kazerooni

At Highrock Park you can have a really nice 360º view of the region. A beautiful place to take your dogs, watch the sunset or, if you are a videographer, take some amazing aerial shots using a drone.

Shael Zelunka

Great little walking hiking spot with some ok views

Robin Reid

Beautiful to go and hang out on a nice day. I have tons of memories of playing tag with my friends across the huge park. For a nice view of the city then you can go up to the very top and see the whole city.

Will Liddell

Good spot to catch a sunset

Victor Duchnik

Fantastic view at night, ok during the day.

Jim Kavanagh

Very nice spot. Great view.

Dave S

Nice quiet little park hidden in the heart of Esquimalt. Sanctioned off-leash park for dogs. The loop trail is short, less than 1km, but the views are amazing. There's a little field on the north side that is perfect for a little bit of fetch or off-leash play. Dogs and people there are friendly and we'll behaved.

Marguerite Kopiec

360 view.

Cody Varns

Nice park with a cairn on the hill. Fairly popular for dog walking. They recently built a communications tower in the middle of the park that distracts from its beauty a bit because you can see it from everywhere in the park.

Cheryl Dennett

Great place to walk through with your dog. Lots of different terrain and smells for them!

G Cole

Close to the city, excellent views, easily accessible for most levels.

Carla Evans

Great walk. Easy hike to take kids on. Great views at thr top

Brian Agland

Nice park, easy to find a quiet secluded area to be alone in and enjoy the view

Donna Van Isle Silver Fox

High Rock park is a fabulous off leash dog park located in Esquimalt tucked away between Old Esquimalt Rd and Lampson Street. There is several entrances to the area. Two access points on Old Esquimalt Rd and another from High Rock Rd. There is a large open area at the bottom and a series of paved pathways through the rock leading to the summit where there is panoramic views of southern Vancouver Island. We are fortunate to live a short 5 minute walk to High Rock where we run our dogs daily.

Laura E

Lovely views of the city with a great dog park!

Josephine Burrows

Million dollar view

Trent Mill

Nice relaxing place to walk through. Good view aswell

Earl Savinac (Syikey)

A dog park at the bottom and a bunch of walking paths to the top with a wonderful view...

Sean Bird

Didn't have the brand of shoes I was looking for, nice view though.

Natalie Kelt

It's a beautiful spot just a short walk uphill. You can see the whole city, surrounding waters and far off mountains.

Amberly Oertel

Rip joe g his plaq is laid here ....

Paul Onderwater

A very nice park in the centre of Esquimalt. In a lovely Garry Oak forest with great views of the lower end of Victoria Island. Panoramic views of Victoria, Esquimalt, the harbours and even Washington State (on clear days :-)) You can see Mount Baker to the east on clear days, the Olympic mountains to the south. A nice Cairn with a plaque and names the landmarks you are looking out at.

Rick Crouch

Quiet and peaceful place to take your dog to

James West

I personally enjoy the surroundings in this place. The peak of the rocks gives people an excellent 360° outlook over Victoria and the lower end of Vancouver Island. The surrounding area is full of evergreen trees with multiple trails to get lost on with your dogs. Of course no matter where you come out your still in the middle of Esquimalt so we are only getting lost in the enjoyment of this excellent park. There are no washrooms but a paved trail up to the top gives even the handicapped this second to none observation point.

blake styan

Great park for walking the dog

J Matvichuk

Go to Highrock Park for the amazing views! It's a bit of a challenging climb to the top but worth the effort.

Dan Jacklin

Great views of Esquimalt as well as the rest of the city. Lots of short trails and rocks to climb over as well.

Julia McGie

Good trails

Vortex Dragon

There's a beautiful 360° view of Victoria at the top of the trail. A big field at the bottom and a few trails around. Off leash for dogs.

Patrick

Absolute gem hidden in the middle of a neighborhood. Dogs are allowed off leash,but please be respectful of the nearby neighbors and wildlife so everyone can continue to enjoy it.

Derek L

Great little natural oasis. Great for dogs and kids. Kids love climbing the rocks. Heck so did I. Sometimes you can lose yourself there and not realise you are in a city, and to me that is the tell tale sign of a good urban natural area. Would definitely recommend it for those that might want a little reak from the city.

Al Marston

Rustic trails great views

christ alain mizero

Nice experience

Marc Tee

Such an amazing park for you and your dog. Views are amazing, people are even better.

Scott Sheldrake

Great park, perfect for small orienteering events or LARPing

Rachel P

really great little park! Perfect for a short walk or could be made into a longer one with all the little trails inside the forested areas. Great for off leash dogs. The views at the top are amazing also - especially on a clear day you can see mount baker and a lovely view of downtown.

Neik Mcneill

Great little get away and a nice view too

Steven Clouston

Clean well maintained outdoor playground

Curty P

Good pokemon hunting

Donald Nord

Awesome vistas...lovely trails. :)

Cindy Kappert

Great off leash park for dogs.

hettiesimpson

Fairly easy short walk with a bit of clambouring up some rocks (when accessed via the trail off Old Esquimalt Rd). 71 metres in elevation, it's not a flat paved walk like The Gorge water way, but it's also not a hike like Lone Tree Hill. Terrific view at the top.

Richard McCart

Fantastic little park, great views, easy stroll.

Josh Williams

Very green park big trees

Ken McRae

Great park, more "natural" than most city parks (rather than manicured)
