This park features a duck pond, children's play center, bbq area with canopy, sled runs in the winter. Great place for kids 2-10 as the play center is surrounded by trees to provide shade for them and their caregivers. There are up to date washrooms around the park which were recently built. When the kids get bored a 5 min walk gets you to the duck pond that has a circular path for them to walk around. There is a nice small flower garden to view along the path. The ducks are fun to watch for the kids. However, the Canadian Geese are a bit of a nuisance at times due to the fact that they are feed often by generous people. However, they will not hiss at you because of that which makes it easier to put up with them. Lots of bird poop so if you are planning a nice tidy walk with your Sunday best this is not your place. However, the poop is avoidable if you are not on your phone and paying attention. In the winter, the sled runs are awesome for kids of all ages. Overall, this park is great with less traffic than Kildonan and Assiniboine Park. It is very close to the St. Vital Mall if you are ambitious enough to get some shopping in. The park is missing a big attraction to make it a 5 star but it is still a worth a 1-2 hour visit for a...
Read moreSt Vital Park is beautiful year round. Four season park to go for a walk, bike, ski, toboggan, picnics, run, roller blade, sun tan, read a book, play volleyball/football/soccer, wedding/grad fotos, dock your boats.
Spring brings out the flowers, the geese & ducks come back to the park which they call home.
Even the winter months with white sparking snow covering the ground & touching the trees can take your breath away. It was great to see families/friends/or people alone enjoying the great outdoors & hearing joy/laughter as these past months have been difficult. This was a peaceful warm Sunday afternoon which I spent amazing four hours enjoying what I luv most outdoors & taking fotos 💙
August 8, 2021 - 31C hot with a nice breeze for a walk in the park. People were out with family, grandchildren, celebrating special occasions today. It was a real blessing to see. It has been a hard year & half. The fresh air was good for the lungs. Of course after my walk I went to my car to get the bird seed for the geese and ducks. I sat & walked along the pond feeding my feathered friends. It was a relaxing mid-morning to afternoon for me. Just what I needed. Good...
Read moreI lived in Wpg my whole life up until two weeks ago on my sisters birthday she planned a walk with her daughters and invited myself and my daughter to St.Vital park first question where’s that ?! Then asked my daughter if she’s been there or if she knew where it was she guided me I was amazed how beautiful this park was and how I never been there was amazing I live few blocks from Kildonan park so I guess that’s why I’ve never been there I love the duck pond the garden was at its fullest there was also a boat launch the park was fairly clean noticed big areas of land scape was mud also there was no painted section marked designated for walkers on the shared road way like at Kildonan Park for safety specially walking with little ones (just a suggestion)other than that we enjoyed our evening at...
