Low tides and warm temperatures are causing an unpleasant odor that can be mistaken for sewage. This is the result of seaweed and algae breaking down and releasing gasses. It is an annual occurrence and smells can linger for 2-3 weeks. Water quality is tested regularly throughout the summer.

The Rose Garden is a beautiful oasis in the middle of Sidney that bursts with colour during spring and summer. The park features a fountain at the centre of a series of pathways surrounded by many varieties of roses.

The Rose Garden is located next to the Sidney / North Saanich Library and Community Wellness Park. Public washrooms are available in the library when the branch is open.
