Enjoyed the Christmas lights at this park.
We went to Windsor for a weekend trip and stayed near the riverfront. We had planned to visit the Point Pelee National Park on Saturday entire day. We had some time to kill on Friday evening. Naturally we wanted to explore the city and restaurants. We stumbled upon this park while we were passing this area by seeing the lights display. We stopped by and had a tour. It was awesome.
Though it was cold bit still we toured the entire park and saw all the light displays. Took so many photos and enjoyed the crowd as well. Children will definitely enjoy this place and you can easily spend 2-4 hours here.
There were parking around the park and it was easy to find one. Once you enter the park you can plan how to cover the displays. The Christmas tree is definitely worth visiting. For children, you can even take the toy train which will give you a short tour. There are ample light displays and you will not get bored guaranteed.
Washrooms are there if you have to use and a lot of food courts were also there for quick food.
Definitely worth visiting during Christmas if you are in Windsor and all...

Although I think that's an insane amount of money to spend on decorations that could clearly go to veterans homeless people Etc. The park was very beautiful the colors were absolutely gorgeous the decorations were beautiful. They were even places within the decorations to take family pictures. The grounds were in good condition, being that it is so new it is very very busy so if you are taking a stroller or somebody in a wheelchair it might be a little difficult to maneuver around. But if I was to recommend taking the time to see the Christmas decorations and lights and read it from one being minimal to 10 being the most I would definitely give it a 10. Is definitely worth even a quick walk-through. You might have to park a ways away and walk but it's worth it. Great job for whoever did all the work. It is...
Read more8/11/23: Absolutely gorgeous park. There's a lot to see and plenty of places to relax while enjoying the scenery. The flowering job in the main square area was exceptionally beautiful; I can tell a lot of work went into maintaining it. There were a lot of monuments to observe as well(quite a bit more than shown in the pictures), and it was nice to read some of the history surrounding them.
There's also a small splashpad and kid playground on the other side(that I neglected to get pics of =0(... )that is also very nice. The only downside is that to get to it, you either have to go under the bridge of Ouellette(if you're on the south end of the park), which isn't nicely developed(at least not yet) or drive to the other side(if you're on the northern end). But its not really that bad under the bridge part; just a bit...
