Kings Castle Provincial Park — Attraction in Abney

Needle in the haystack for sure. Diamond in the rough. Don't care how you say it, but what an amazing park.

We stopped there on the way to the Ferry and we wish we had more time there. My kids are 9 and 8, and there was tons of play things for them to do. Mutiple playground areas (at least 4). A huge fort for the kids play on, and small beach access. Picnic tables, covered picnic areas as well. There are even 2 areas where they have fireplaces available to use.

There are a few trails with cartoon characters in the woods you can wonder through. There is something for kids of all ages.

For the big kids there is even geocaching there (2 as of right now).

Good amount of parking and clean bathrooms. This should be a must stop on your...

Old classic wood structures and newer modern play grounds too. Spread out. Adventure with fairytale statues in the woods. Adventure on the beach, maybe see some seals. There is always a craft table up in the summer and ice cream and popsicles are a dollar:) Beautiful place for childhood adventures but BRING THE BUG SPRAY!!! As you may expect, this densely wooded property on the water is a haven for mosquitos as well! Bike friendly, leashes dog friendly, access from sommers campground. Nearby cafes. Farmers market in town...

With no entry fee it's an incredible value, even more so during the summer season.

We visited during the off season in late fall, it was busy and seems to be a terrific for kids to wear themselves out. There are some some cooking shelters, a beach and a basketball hoop. During the summer months there are bathrooms and a canteen available for snacks and drinks. (Not available in the off season).

There are a few trails through the woods featuring concrete sculptures, but this isn't a trail hiking...
