Centennial Park — Attraction in Quinte West

Specifically the Skate Park. My 13 yr old son has been going there off and on for about 5 years now. I have found that even though there is a litter and recycling bin right at the entrance to the skate park, the locals (youth mostly) that attend here throw their plastic bottles and other garbage everywhere and anywhere but in the litter bin. More importantly, recently my son has been bullied, harassed and terrorized by a group of youth and 1 boy in particular who has actually threatened him with physical violence. I can no longer allow my son to attend and enjoy this skate park due to the gang mentality that my son (and I'm sure others) has had to face recently. Apparently none of the other youth can be bothered to intervene and nothing is being done to deter this extreme negative behaviour. My son also recently had a pair of brand new gloves stolen that he only had for 1 month that he had received as an extra birthday present. He had dropped the pair of gloves beside his backpack which he had left on the top of a ramp in the middle of the skate park. I took my son to Frankford's skate park today where he spent over 2 hours without any issues...

Centennial Park is a quiet and beautiful park, that is enjoyed by so many people everyday. You can take a nice long walk on the paved path that follows our great lake Ontario. You can enjoy all the wildlife such as geese, ducks, rabbit, groundhogs and of course in the spring, all the adorable baby animals that follow in tow. You get to meet new people living in our small city as you cross paths and stop to chat as you pets each others dogs because Centennial park is an incredible place to walk your dog with all the sites, sounds and of course smells for your furry friend to enjoy. During the week nights the park is filled with childen playing their soccer games and their families on the sidelines cheering. The baseball diamonds are also filled children in uniform and their coaches. The moms and dads sit on the edge of the bleechers as its the top of the seventh and the cheers couldn't be louder. If your looking for a great place to spend you day, come enjoy Centennial park with all it has to offer. The best part is that its FREE and nothing this pleasant...

This is my favourite place to take my dogs for a walk along the well maintained paths that run throughout the park from one end to the other. There’s an amphitheater, a covered pavilion with dozens of picnic tables and a stage. There’s a splash pad for those hot days to cool off the kiddies! There’s a playground in two areas, a skate/bike park, soccer & baseball fields throughout the park with well kept lush green fields! There’s the old marina the has been set up for a wakeboard (??) pull that’s really cool to watch! There’s facilities and parking in few different areas. There are families of birds such as ducks & swans all over & sometimes you get lucky to see a Mommy with her babies swimming along behind her...they are soooo cute!! This is my favourite park in Trenton and I have & will always recommend this park...
