Great park that is in the heart of the city. Tons of walking, running, biking trails. If you are new to visiting this park, know that you cannot get lost in here. It's surrounded by city streets.

There's a splash pad, a large playground,.There's a paved trail that circles a man made lake. It's unfortunate that you can no longer access the lake due to the city never replacing the bridge that used to give access to it.

There are plenty of washrooms on site and there's a canteen open in the spring/summer and I believe weekends in the fall. They have charcoal BBQ pits where you can drive your car to and BBQ and picnic. (need all your own supplies including charcoal briquettes).

In the wintertime half the park is dedicated to cross country skiing. They rent skis and snowshoes. The other half of the park is plowed and maintained in the winter. There's also a couple of skating areas (one for hockey and one for general skating). Decades ago, you used to be able to skate around the island which I wish the city would consider doing again. It was so much fun skating around the island.

While the park is safe, there are sometimes some undesirable people who sometimes hang around. During the day this shouldn't be an issue as there are lots of people and city employees going about their jobs maintaining the park. After dark you should exercise the same caution you would walking down a quiet city street by yourself.

I've been going to this park for over 40 years and it's a true gem to the City of Moncton.
