Nicole S. • August 18, 2014One of my go-to photography spots. Love the park and water view.

Fit Minds Cognitive Health Products Inc. • November 17, 2011Great park to feed the ducks, picnic and play. Really interesting sculpture/play park. Kids love it.

Ashley • December 2, 2015A nice park to go with your beaches

Reena B. • August 11, 2014Huge park with lots of spots for family picnics. There are tables, covered pavilions, a bandstand and tons of paths for walking and biking. Don't forget to bring money for parking.

Jessica • May 27, 2015Beautiful! So much to do... But get there early during the national tulip festival for parking

Ken K. • July 7, 2011Beautiful sights and a very friendly and natural atmosphere. Truly a park for all occasions.

Ben W. • February 19, 2017The Pokémon Go scene here is lit. Great spot to view boats!

Jessica • November 5, 2015So beautiful! The boardwalk is one of the best places I've been in Ontario - quiet, peaceful, and like no other! Make sure to check it out if you've never been before. You won't regret

Hannah P. • August 6, 2015My family and I love to order food or pack up a picnic to bring here for a family lunch or early dinner. Great for a leisurely bike, reading undisturbed or family pictures.

Russ S. • April 8, 2010Great view of parliament and area.

Jean C. • June 25, 2015Relaxing setting with nice trees and breeze. Close to Elgin and pubs

Billy D K. • August 22, 2011@Night there is no lights. It is pitch black. The city needs to install lighting for safety and sanitary reasons.

Kim B. • October 19, 2013Buy tickets online cheaper!

Reena B. • August 8, 2014Great off-leash dog park and picnic area. Pond has carp in early spring, then frogs, then turtles and ducks! Pond is drained in winter and becomes a toboggan run for the kids.

Patrick B. • January 18, 2012This is a nice place to relax if you are making a bike, roller blade or walking trip from Ottawa to Gatineau. Go by in the small park next to the building and enjoy :)

Reena B. • August 8, 2014Lovely place for a walk or a picnic, with several gazebos, paths and water features.

Reena B. • August 8, 2014Very busy dog park. Climb to the top of the hill and check out the view from the gazebo.

AJ L. • March 29, 2012Only 26 bucks gets you unlimited balls at the range for an hour.. Not bad when there's crappy weather outside

Joshua O. • March 21, 2016It's primarily used as a dog park. I'd like to take my family there for hikes/walks but all the excited off leash dogs are a bit much.

Ben W. • August 6, 2023Great park on the water for dogs! Parking is always the tricky part.
