★ ★ ★ ★ ★ When you look up at the observatory from sea level, you can't help but be curious and wonder what's up there. If you're like me, that curiosity drives you to walk up the steep Barkley Terrace revealing a wide array of unique modern homes. Close to the top you stumbke upon a staircase leading straight to the Observatory. At this point you are rewarded with a picturesque vantage point of Gonzalez Bay, the Pacific and on the opposite side you can see Mt Doug.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small park with big views. It is a real gem. I wish the observatory itself opened up for visitors once in a while. I hope more effort will be taken to get rid of invasive species.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I like this place mainly because of the view. It has a gorgeous view of Gonzalez Bay and Victoria. It can be a bit windy so if you go (which I recommend you do) check the weather.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Not sure if this place is still in operation but the views are amazing from here. Little parking lot just a short walk to the observatory. There is construction going on in the area, be aware of the blast horn and the explosion afterwards. There was another couple there and they looked concerned but we explained to them what just happened as you can feel it through the ground hundreds of feet away. We really enjoyed the day here, would love to come at night to see if this place come alive.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great views of Victoria from the Observatory…..nearly 360 degrees. Observatory is not open to the public, but there are several benches to enjoy the view. Dog friendly.
