Reviews from Google Maps:

"This spot in Beacon Hill Park features some of the softest grass on Vancouver Island. It's a great location for yoga, flow arts or a picnic. Plus there are an assortment of trees that provide shelter from the rain, as well as a sturdy place to hang a slack line or hammock."

"Best grass I have ever stood on, firmness gives a good shoe feel! Plus the most fantabulous people I've ever met hang out around this area during sunny summer days. Go check it out!"
