Hillcrest Park — Attraction in Thunder Bay

The Park is used mostly for parking your car and chatting with an amazing thought provoking view. A mystical place with blossoming crab apple trees, maples and oak trees there is a exclusive flower garden where you can sit or tame your children to a playground next to it. There are ancient junipers and a garden next to the bell where crickets entertain on a warm breezy night. To top it all off there is a sprawling small to mid sized field where people can picnic play rugby, touch foot ball, soccer or even volley ball it if you bring your own net. I have met people there that were there for healing. Am hoping the garden for next year is bright flowered healing garden. A place for bees and humming birds to frequently visit. A great place to visit. Here is to hoping to feel connected to everting if you are quiet and still enough.

There has been some violent bullying at the Park at night but its rare. There is even an historical military equipment outside there.

I cannot forget to inform you of the amazing sunrise Hillcrest Park offers. It centers you and get you in tune not just with your city and the day slowly ramping up but makes you aware of the universe. Guess how? Well due to the orbit there is a slow oscillation of the plant. One month the sun is rising north west and 6 months meter if you see enough of them you will see the sunrise rises in a totally different location rising in the east leaving you feel it will rise south east next but makes its way back Luke a fishing reel toggling side to side.

Makes you think and feel deeply about yourself and the Universe in a big town.

Lastly you can see the writings of Ararat the Greek Philosopher who wrote the first 50 constellations. Right above the park on a beautiful summers day take a blanket some food and watch the ancient world unfold as the 88 constellations dance in the night sky. The clarity is remarkable as you watch the Constellation Pegasus deliver lighting bolts to Zeus. A truly remarkable sight. It is so bright you don't even need a telescope.

You could start off at the 4 leaf Clover garden and sit on the Knights Family Chair donated to the Park. If for your moment just for you. Walk across the field barefoot and the night Stargazing while reading the Audobagn's guide to the Night Sky or National Geographic. Even better read aloud Plato's Republic not the Allegory of the Cave but the part about the Greeks who believe a Messiah like figure they call the Star Gazer that will rise out obscurity to set a better path for humanity and lead the world to Peace and Prosperity.

Who knows maybe you are that person and don't even know it. Come visit for a picnic during the day and experience High School Students doing photo projects or Parents taking their kids to play.

The Park is for everyone whether it is a picnic or an old couple reaffirm their Love for each other. Give it your time. I rarely leave disappointed. Who knows maybe you will see some Cathars who believed their destiny was to turn into a ball of light and float into the Sun if you saw enough sunrises and sunsets. I go there for many reasons and each visit is different from the next. One thing for sure it is a great place in the midst of a very small city on the verge or big town aching for healing, renewal, rejuvination and prosperity. Youth are the keepers if the future. Who knows maybe on a warm summers night youth can find some wisdom, solace and serenity on a clear starry night.

The only down side is the City dies not want experienced gardeners from the Conservatory doing the gardening work. If they contract it out it will go to the lowest bidder probably a summer worker who knows nothing about horticulture or gardening.

It would be a big mistake to let the Conservatory Employees go. They are experts at what they do. The park is about feelings and clarifying inner emotional beauty. When you see the beautiful work they do you have gratitude and appreciation for respecting your emotions and feeling through the quality work...

Beautiful and peaceful park. Offers stunning views of the city, the harbour, and the Sleeping Giant. The park is located in the north end of Thunder Bay, on a hill overlooking the lake. The park has a lot of green space, flowers, trees, and benches where you can relax and enjoy the scenery. The park also has a World War II memorial for the Lake Superior Regiment, which is a tribute to the soldiers who fought and died for Canada12. The park is well-maintained and clean, and has a playground for children and a gazebo for events. The park is open year-round, and is especially beautiful in the fall when the leaves change colour. The park is a great place to visit if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and appreciate the natural beauty of Thunder Bay. I highly recommend Hillcrest Park to anyone who loves parks and views. It is one of the best attractions in Thunder Bay and a must-see...

It's my favorite park in town! I love how it is set up, with a variety of things all the way along the park. It's long and narrow. It's great for kids you start at the playground, move on to the cannons and tank. Take a walk and play on the hill, move to the flag. Walk some more and discover the bell, then cap it off with the big long slide. It's like an adventure. They love it. It's always well maintained. It's busy but never crowded and there's lots of parking. Also the best spot in town to watch...
