I went there with family on a very warm September day. I wish I had discovered it years ago. It's a terrific place to picnic. I just wish there were real washrooms instead of a portapotty at the entrance. On one side is a Canal and the other the St. Lawrence River. We walked to the tip of the peninsula to watch the sunset. There are large interesting sculptures throughout the park.

Beautiful park! This park is located at the tip of the peninsula. It’s not extensive, one might finish walking the whole park starting from the right side path and returning through the left side path in around 30 minutes, but it’s still worth the visit! During the whole path, you will have a broad view of the two lakes that surround the park, which makes the experience quite nice! The park has also a bike lane that is very inviting due to its beautiful surroundings. I find it important to mention that the washroom is limited as there was only one porta-potty at the entrance, so keep that in mind! Additionally, I found the area quite windy it’s a peninsula, which explains it and for this reason, I recommend you wear warm clothes. I went there in late October on a sunny day, and despite wearing a warm jacket, I wished I had brought gloves. The trees were beautiful with fall colours! I cannot wait to see this park in the winter. Highly recommend it!

Flat path approx 2.2 km loop.Easy to find parking on weekday morning. Reasonable price for parking about 2,25 per hour. Some interesting art work scattered throughout the park.Dogs on leash allowed.Plenty of seating available and a picnic area at the entrance of the park.In the middle of the park there is an arboretum.

Nice park! Beautiful views and surrounded by water. Portapotties for bathroom needs and an ice cream shop at the entrance. Great for family picnics and people were all over bbqing and relaxing. Appears as though they supply bbqs too.
