Good park but I accidentally got bitten by a lobster that was very big and it really hurt but I took a picture so the police can take further action into preventing any more crimes from that lobster..... more

We regularly walk the trails in this park. They are well mapped, and maintained and marked as to level of difficulty.

A beautiful park with convenient access from Saint John and the surrounding area. Several places to swim, and some visually pleasing landscaping and memorials round out your visit. There's a horse farm and botanical garden, but we didn't visit them this trip. Lots of hiking trails too! Come down and enjoy nature and fresh air.

Absolutely beautiful park in the heart of St. John. Kind of reminded me Lord of the Rings forest, sometimes mysterious and dark, sometimes shining with light. The biggest highlight for me was the little bridge that gave opening to the side of the Long lake covered with yellow water lilies. Enjoy the peace, bring your family as well. Abide..

This is a beautiful place to take a walk ! There are so many different trails with signs as well, and it’s very well maintained. You can take some trails that are all gravelled or paved or find an off road trail as there are a few of those as well. Highly recommend checking it out.

A nice park in the heart of the city. Great walking trails but you’ll need ice grips on your boots in the winter months.
