Clover Point is a 10.39 acre property. The eastern boundary of Clover Point Park is Ross Bay; the western boundary is Cook Street. Clover Point was owned by the Canada Department of Defence and leased to the City for use as a park until 1988 when ownership was transferred to the City of Victoria. Clover Point is a very heavily used park. It has been a major destination for people in cars since 1956, when the loop road was “hard-surfaced and landscaped as a viewpoint parking area.” Parking for 100 cars was announced at that time. Despite several proposals to remove the roadway and create a safer pedestrian-only area, asphalt continues to cover a large portion of the Point and car traffic is heavy.
