Lampson Park

If you live in Esquimalt, you probably already know about this one. Lampson is a low-key neighbourhood park that hits the sweet spot for kids between 3 and 12 — not too big, not too chaotic, just a solid spot to burn off some energy. It’s home to Lions Minor Baseball, so during the season there’s a real community feel to the place. The park stays clean and the street parking situation is pretty painless, which honestly matters more than people admit.
