Always a nice walk and experience - in any part of the park! It has something for everyone. There is plenty of wildlife, lots of space, and some very nice views (considering it's a park within the metro area). For anyone who wants to get outdoors with your dog, feed the ducks, or take a nice walk - this is the place! They also have Koi in their manmade pond which I did not realize until my last visit. When walking the trails, it can be quite discouraging to see the amount of trash tossed on the ground. It seems like a lot of the garbage is food packaging (ice cream wrappers, bar wrappers, chip bags, etc.). There are plenty of trash cans in place but it seems like there are notable distances between cans at certain times on the trail; I'm hoping (as someone who frequents the park) these issues can be minimized.

Bowering park is a beautiful . It changes from season to season. In the warmer months you can easily access all the trails. It is great for all ages. It has many amenities. During the warmer months it includes a seasonal splash pad, a swimming pool, a skate park, a pool house , duck ponds, rivers, a green house, and a kids play ground area. Also there is a bungalow inside the park where you can book events and have it catered. The trails are wonderful to discover. Some are designed for an easy stroll along the pathways laced with ornamental flowers and trees. Other's are a bit more challenging walking along side the beautiful Waterford Bridge River.

Love walking around the park mostly during the Summer and Fall, but the walkways are cleared in the Winter as well. There are lots of trails throughout the park, as well as a paved main roadway. Suitable for all abilities, and for pushing strollers/wheelchairs. As well, there are many benches throughout the park. The park has ducks, swans and the other day we seen a mink! The skate park, and playground were pretty busy with kids. In the Winter, around Christmas, the park is lit up in evening with festive lighting.

It's a lovely park with so many old trees, lots of flowers to look at. There is a reception building and many fields in which to hold events. The summer swimming pool, splash pad, skate park and playground are very nicely upgraded. The park is nice to pass through for a walk or gentle ride on your bike. Be sure to stop by the war memorial, pass along by the river and check out the duck pond to see the resident ducks, geese and pigeons! There is a lovely hill for sliding and xmas lights in the winter!

Wow! This place is great. It's like a little peaceful oasis in the middle of a city. There's duck ponds and fountains and walking trails. There's playgrounds and splash pads and tennis courts and even a skate park! I'd like to see some signage to direct people (especially new visitors to the city or province like myself) we were lost once or twice, but it was a beautiful day and we were in no rush so it didn't matter much.

A fatanstic park with lots of walking trails. I fed duck and was fun. There are lots of ducks here. If you enjoy taking care of animal and would like to feed ducks, bring some food for them. They would really love the food. I would recommend visiting this for a casual stroll, great scenery see light. There are also lots parking space if you are thinking of where to park.
