Lonely Planet review

The name refers to the eastern end of the park as well as the eastern tip of the peninsula. It contains Brockton Oval playing field and cricket pitch, a colorful clutch of totem poles from several different First Nations people, and the Nine O'Clock Gun on Hallelujah Point - an electrically fired cannon that sounds at nightly and was originally used by ships' captains to set their chronometers.

The squat Brockton Point Lighthouse was completed in 1915. It's not too far from here to the summertime artist market, where you can pick up a painterly souvenir of your visit.
