Flat gravel walking paths, lots of different trails. Famous for its heart shaped pond need to be cleaned which always has ducks.. Love this place
It's a nice park with many levels of difficulty for walking or running. I live adjacent to the park so I get an opportunity to take my family to the park often. They enjoy the heart shape duck pond and all the curious and ravenous creatures that frequent the pond area. There is also a school playground at one end of the z. The park has an interesting history and I highly recommend everyone to enjoy this park.
A lovely walk to take, you don't ever completely escape the sounds of the city, but you will be completely surrounded by wonderful trees. The canopy is dense enough that the park always has damp places and watery leaves. There are ALWAYS mosquitoes, so if they love you the way they love me, bring your preferred repellent. I use a couple dabs of clove oil here and there and it staves off most of the swarm. The pond is a pretty shape, it's not for playing in, unless you're a duck.
A very enjoyable walk/hike for pets, kids and adults. There are plenty of hills but also different trail options depending on your preference. On and off-leash areas are marked although most dogs are off leash throughout and there are a few benches near the parking lot by the pond. Parking is limited so arrive early and if headed there in the winter, I'd suggest packing a pair of crampons as the hills can be very icy.
Nice trails, some black ice and roots on weekend in Jan. as you get down to ravine trail. Lots of people walking dogs. Mostly pea gravel trail hiking up at first and into a forest with nice loop trails. April 2021: Perfect for a one hour loop on the blue Take school trail up to blue and then red trail off leash section. I like to loop back through on the yellow trail which has nice sunlight and small evergreens. Very quiet on weekdays, just birds and squirrels chirping. Lovely for spring hiking in the city, dry trails. Benches at a few points at trail intersections. Only garbage can is at entrance and park was very clean.
I like this spot and really enjoyed the nature here. The trail was not very long but good enough for small hiking. It was my first time there and I was expecting to see more natural views. All the scenes were the same but still had a good time. Was super busy when we got there... seems like it’s a super popular place for everyone. This park is not very far from my home so probably will go back sometimes!
I came here 3 days after a snow storm. Most of the trails were clear of snow and ice... though there was still some. I really enjoyed being in the nature here... each trail seems to be maintained. There is wildlife like ducks and other birds as well as squirrels that I saw. Got some great photos, and the fresh air was perfectly what I needed after a drab winter.
Beautiful park with a km long off leash trail for dogs. The trail can get icy during Jan thru April so spikes are highly recommended.
The trails look like looping around but they are not always. Well marked at turns and joints of the paths, but it's quite easy yet tempting to go off the trail. During summer time, walking with the brook babbling in the background can be very soothing. While during the winter season, trails are not under maintenance, so always put on the proper hiking boots for the ice and/or stumps.
Nice park for a hike in the woods. Just small trails and woods, nothing else. So, came prepared because there's no washroom neither water at least where we went. There is a good size of it where you can take your fur off leash. Lots of ups and downs for a good exercise. It is close to a school so your kid can have some fun before or after the walk. Really quiet. Be aware of the mosquitoes too, there is a lot of them.
