Story

Fort Rodd Hill NHS commemorates the national significance of the Victoria-Esquimalt coast artillery fortress in the defence of Victoria and the naval base at Esquimalt harbour, as part of the larger defence strategy of the British Empire and Canada, 1878 to 1956.

Fisgard Lighthouse NHS commemorates the national significance of the first lighthouse on Canada's west coast. Fisgard has been an important symbol of sovereignty-British, Colonial and Canadian-since 1860. Along with Race Rocks lighthouse, Fisgard provides a guide for mariners to Royal Roads anchorage, Esquimalt harbour and its naval base, and points the way to Victoria harbour.

Beautiful location and setting. We were there for family pictures and there were so many great and interesting spots to choose from. Afterwards we toured mist of the exhibits at least until our 3 yr old grandson was ready for a nap. The lighthouse at the point has hands on features for little ones and write ups for adults. The bunkers and ammunition storage areas encourage your imagination to envision what it was like. Worth taking the time to go.

Great for a picnic and spend half of the day with kids. The lighthouse is a mini museum with some interactive games. It was a great surprise, much better than I was expecting.

A marvelous historical, military installation. The lighthouse is the highlight. One cannot fly their drone in this park.
