Previously named Fort Macaulay, this location was once a military fortress guarding the coast of Victoria alongside Fort Rodd Hill as part of the Victoria-Esquimalt Fortress.
Active from 1878 to 1956, Fort Macaulay was the longest-serving component of the Victoria- Esquimalt Coast Defence Fortification System. It was declared obsolete in 1956.
The park is now popular among dog walkers and rock climbers who climb at Fleming bay.
