Hillside Mall is a great mall with a lot of well known retailers as well as a selection of exclusive one-of-a-kind independent stores.

The food court is easy to navigate and wheelchair accessible. Regular food court type fast food restaurants with a few healthier options as well.

With the larger box stores like Wall Mart, Canadian Tire, Thrifty's, Marshall's, and Shoppers Drug Mart flanking the outermost spaces of the mall, I am sure a shopper could find nearly everything they could need.

My only complaint regarding the mall is the tight parking lot and what's with the ridiculous but pretty curbing outside of Shopper's? The ones with the angle curbing that only allows for a motorcycle or SmartCar? Nice, but seriously impractical.
Relatively intelligent access and egress to the parking lots surrounding the mall, but the access to the levelled parking lot is a driver's nightmare! Remember to take a deep breath while navigating for a parking space and thanks to all the drivers who restrain from overuse of horns.

The staff at this store have always been kind, courteous and helpful every time I have gone in.
My last visit I was looking for a particular brand of wine and grape. The sales associate checked shelves and then digital stock to see if they had that particular item. This is normal for any requests I have enquired about.
This retail location is well stocked with substantial varieties of whatever tickles your fancy. If they don't have EXACTLY what you are looking for, they're able to make suitable suggestions for alternatives.
I have also witnessed first hand their ability to handle direct conflict and still maintain great service in the face of confrontational conflict. Hats off to great staff! 👍😎

This is one of my favorite places to commune with Nature in Victoria. Natural trails as well as city maintained pathways make this park an all ages and abilities accessible park. There are steep inclines along the waterfront so parents will want to keep a close eye on little persons but it is a great place to teach kids the basics of beginning outdoor natural exploring.

For those who have mobility challenges that require smoother pathways, this is an awesome natural park with maintained pathways that feel like trails.

Filled with a variety of mature trees and shrubs, benches and picnic tables for resting, family outings, with easy access by vehicle, foot, and on direct bus routes.
