This is a great park for all ages. Special features include a splash pad, fun playground with unique toddler and bigger kid equipment sets, swings, tennis courts, covered picnic area, some parking spots, and a duck pond (well, river). There is also a community pool nearby. There is a port-a-potty on site and bathrooms a little further off near the big pool, when it's open. The paths are good for walking or riding a scooter or bike and there is a nice light wooded area where you can spot wildlife. You can take a walk away from the busy playground area and find some peaceful spots, or if you bring your kids, there are shady areas to sit and keep an eye on them as they play.

The water of the river should be more maintain by the city of London, Ontario. It is not a place for me to be; if I am outside of the house. I know Canada has short summer, but I would rather be somewhere nice. It was okay back then but now the homeless people are taking over this Gibbons Park as their territory. I am better off staying away from trouble people and be somewhere peaceful, clean and a nice area with...
ย ย ย Read moreI go here often to search with my metal detectors to see what I can find I very much enjoy going to this park I've been going to this park for many years for everything from metal detecting to Simply sitting in the park enjoying a nice summer day . I've occasionally seen others metal detecting as well my wish for them is that they would learn how to be respectful of the grounds they are metal detecting at and proper metal detecting etiquette to leave the ground as they found it and not in a mess. It is not difficult and I wish more people would learn to be respectful and leave the ground as they found it. When I go medal detecting a person who walks by after I have found something they would never even know that I just searched the ground and got something out of the ground and I wish more people would do this and not leave messy holes wherever they search it gives me and other responsible metal detector Enthusiast a...
