Riverside Park — Attraction in Ontario

I have noticed the big Belleville floral Canadian flag arrangement for decades while driving on the 401 highway. So I decided to take a break, visit the location, walk around it and discovered the tranquility of Riverside Park.

The park has nice paved walkways that lead around the surrounding area giving access to the water, child playgrounds and open green spaces on the small hill. I especially strolling by the waterfront marsh area to view the many butterflies and to hear the birds sing. It is very peaceful. Then I took a look at the Belleville floral Canadian flag and resumed driving on the highway.

This is a great spot to stop ìf you are travelling with the family, or even alone. The kids and you will appreciate running around to stretch your legs on a long road trip and best of all it is free to enjoy.

This park is referred to as the Pirate Ship Park for those parents who have heard of it from other parents or their kids. It was a decent play area. Lots of stuff, playground wise, for the little ones to do. Could have been a bit more kept up. Nice to have the splash pad right across from it. For safety reasons the entire playground is fenced in. Only one way in and out. Same as the splash pad. There are lots of "hiding" spots, so I would advise, even though there is only one exit, to keep an eye on the little ones. I heard and witnessed lots of yelling of kid's names and parents frantically looking for the kids. Overall a decent experience. The walking trail is right off the park next...

Next to the waterfront trails that run along the Belleville bay this is definitely the next best trail to walk, ride, bird watch qnd so on. There's always geese there and there's benches to have lunch too when the kids play in the park or splash pad I live in the East End and I take this trail from Station St all the way up to the mall because its eo beuatful and much more peaceful year round comparaed to the other ways to get to that end of town. It takes a bit longer but is definitely more safer and worth it! There's a little bike jump truck hidden there too thats fun for kids. I'll take some snaps of it and updated ones ofbth3 trails instead of the park and upload next...
