The 41 best parks and gardens in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Very picturesque with lots of garden spaces to explore including an arboretum and rose garden. There's even a pond area with lots of frogs and a few painted turtles. Not a long walk but well worth a visit. It is free and located right beside the butterfly conservatory.

Visiting the Niagara Falls Botanical Gardens was such a lovely experience. The grounds are expansive and beautifully maintained, surrounded by vibrant flowers, majestic trees, and lush greenery at every turn. Within the same area is the Butterfly Conservatory — though it was closed during my visit, it’s definitely on my list for next time. Even without it, the gardens themselves were breathtaking — the perfect spot to stroll, reflect, and capture timeless photos. A truly beautiful place for peaceful walks, weddings, or special occasions.

🌿 Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens – A Peaceful Oasis Near the Falls The Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens is a hidden gem just a short drive from the main Niagara Falls attractions. This beautifully maintained 99-acre garden is perfect for those seeking a peaceful and scenic escape from the busy tourist areas. The gardens are stunning in every season, but especially vibrant in late spring and summer. The rose garden, featuring over 2,400 roses, is a must-see and smells incredible when in full bloom. The butterfly conservatory, located on-site, is a magical experience where you can walk among hundreds of free-flying butterflies in a lush tropical setting. The entire park is free to enter (excluding the Butterfly Conservatory), with wide walking paths and plenty of shady spots for relaxing. It’s also home to the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture, so you’ll see some impressive displays and rare plant varieties. Whether you’re a nature lover, photographer, or just want a quiet place to stroll, the Botanical Gardens are a beautiful and refreshing part of any Niagara Falls visit. ⭐️ Highlights: • Free admission to the gardens • Stunning rose and herb gardens • Peaceful, well-maintained grounds • Butterfly Conservatory (extra fee but worth it) • Ideal for a relaxing walk or picnic

The Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls is a serene and enchanting escape into a tropical paradise. Home to over 2,000 free-flying butterflies, the lush greenhouse features winding paths, waterfalls, and vibrant plant life that create a magical atmosphere. It’s as peaceful, educational, and perfect for families or nature lovers. Whether you’re snapping photos or simply soaking in the beauty, it’s a must-visit gem along the Niagara Parkway. Great place to take the young ones for fun any invoking curiosity.

A great experience. Campus is large and spaced out. Very relaxing day and visit. Wide variety of plants too. Parking is 8 dollars but if you get it there you can use it up at horseshoe falls and not pay more. Lady at the parking booth was so friendly Butterfly garden costs 20 bucks did not do this visit.

The grounds was very upkept. The flowers were beautiful. We walked through the whole garden was very lovely. It was nice weather out. Couldn't ask for a better day.

Lovely gardens within easy walking distance of the falls. Definitely under looked as a destination as it was not crowded even on a very crowded at the falls Sunday. But I guess one has too love flowers because this place had them!!

Situated in the town of Niagara-on-the-lake, this park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the town. A stretch of lawn with benches for a small picnic or a small beach area to relax and have fun. A small pathway that is nice with a great view of lake Ontario. Just across the street is parking and it is conveniently located near the downtown area. A perfect tourist attraction, period.

The Queen's Royal Park is a beautiful park in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region where people can walk, sit and relax. The view of the lake is wonderful. People can have picnics with family and friends and enjoy during summers. There are designated parking lots close to the park where one can easily pay for parking their vehicles. Downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake is just walking distance from the park and has some great shops, cafes and restaurants.

Explored this lovely park when visiting the niagara falls. You can see the downtown Toronto from there, especially when the sky is clear. The lake looks really blue, and its so peaceful to walk around. Definitely worth a visit during your trip! :)

We love visiting the picturesque Queens Royal Park whenever we are in Niagara-on-the Lake region. The Gazebo acts as a beautiful and romantic backdrop for pictures! The place is ideal for a picnic or a romantic stroll. We love going there for an amazing sunset view over Lake Ontario.

Very scenic park along the Lake Ontario. Park is maintained well and maybe crowded during weekends. Mandatory paid parking. Washrooms are available and it’s very clean and well maintained. Toronto skyline maybe visible if the sky is clear . Some buildings like old Niagara fort at USA side is clearly visible. This place is something unique.

Amazing place to enjoy during summer! It has free parking area. The whole niagra city on the lake is amazing and pretttyyy🩵 It was fun visiting this place with friends and family. People were doing kayaking and riding the boats 🛥️! Also there is walk way area which makes it more beautiful! Place gets bit crowded on weekends. Also, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby to the other streets. The garden hill area is best to rest and enjoy the view of sea and also the other side u can see USA

This was my first time going to Canada. I saw online, when I was planning my trip to Niagara Falls, that Niagara on the Lake was a must see. I have to agree now that I've been. It's a very beautiful place the flowers are so pretty and well kept. We walked around town and to the lake. The lake is very nice as well. Benches in the shade to sit and admire the scenery. I'm very glad we didn't miss visiting here.

Simcoe Park is a serene green space located in the heart of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. This beautifully maintained park offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling tourist attractions nearby, such as the falls themselves and the surrounding entertainment district. The park features open lawns, shaded seating areas, and pathways perfect for a leisurely stroll or a quiet moment of reflection. What stands out is its accessibility and proximity to major landmarks, making it a convenient spot to relax while exploring the city. Visitors often appreciate its clean, tranquil environment and the contrast it provides to the vibrant energy of Niagara Falls. Whether you’re looking for a place to unwind or a scenic location for a picnic, Simcoe Park is a charming choice.

This large and beautiful park has a small fountain in the corner that was delighting many small children on a hot day. There are also many playground equipment spots. Benches abound for tired feet and many are in the shade of large mature trees. An ample sized washroom is available as well.

INSANELY BEAUTIFUL! I arrived a little late in the afternoon but very much enjoyed a present moment in the park relaxing and journaling. My dogs loved the soft green grass.

Great park! And greater if you visit on Canada's Day. They have food, live music, a live band and classic cars that you can take pictures of.

A beautiful park located across the street from the Prince of Wales Hotel. The park offers many picnic tables, a play ground and open areas for family enjoyment. It has a relaxing atmosphere.

Beautiful lake view and walking path; but this year town has done little landscaping and the benches are locked up, all parkometers around for people to park and walk around.

This place was beautiful! Lovely and shaded with a park AND a free small wading pool with lifeguards! The only downside is apparently after 6 they drain the wading pool and they close and drain the pool and there were many upset children there my daughter included when we brought her to play just after dinner.

Amazing place. Can climb the monument step over 250 of them. Been a few time and found out this time his remains are actually buried right were I was standing... nit with family but with his right hand servant....hmmm seemed kinda weird. The views and history are amazing. The drive along the Nigara down river from the falls to the monument is filled with amazing photo opertunities. Amazing to do with your early teens as they will be learning this in school ( if in Ontario,Canada )in the next few years of there life...great?day trip if in southern Ontario.

Queenston Heights Park is an extraordinary destination that offers a blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and recreational opportunities. The park's well-maintained gardens and scenic trails provide a perfect setting for leisurely strolls and picnics, with stunning views of the Niagara River and surrounding landscapes. History enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive Brock Monument and the park's rich historical context. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant visit for everyone. Whether you're looking to explore, relax, or learn, Queenston Heights Park is a must-visit gem that promises an unforgettable experience.

Quiet and peaceful, away from huge crowds. Great place to spend a summer day! The view is incredible from Brock's monument. Close to floral clock as well!

I have to make a special trip to come back again . I went to this park yesterday because we joined a day trip tour to the Niagara-on-the-Lake and we were there to have lunch at the restaurant. Only have time to take a few photos of the Brock's Monument, didn't have time to see the whole park. I can see good children playground, beautiful flowers and trees, over looking the Niagara River . Should be very beautiful in the Falls.

Visited Queenston Heights Park in late February where the signs state that the walkways aren’t maintained in the winter. You’d never know. The park was beautiful and well maintained. Outstanding views with lots of historical information posted.

Spectacular view. Amazing well maintained park. Rich in history and quiet. You would fall in love visiting this place. It was wintertime during my last visit and the view of the Niagara river is wonderful its more clearer view than summertime🥰 Not crowded. Its a very relaxing place. Its uniquely beautiful in every season 🥰

A nice well maintained park with a view of the Niagara River. Place is peaceful during my visit. Restaurants and food park are closed this time of the month but will be open during summer and peak season.

Easy to drive there with lots of paid parking. Big washrooms at the entrance. Scenic view along the trail is amazing. It is suitable for families, friends and even elders. Difficulty of the main loop is below moderate, it may take 1 - 1.5 hours casually.

Such a great little hike in Niagara. $8/hour to park, but it’s worth it. Well maintained trails with lots of hikers of all skill levels, plus rock climbers everywhere. It’s nicely shaded also, so it’s a great activity for a hot day. Lots of big boulders and small caves. I like to do the full loop, but the Cliffside trail has some nice big boulders to check out.

Love this place so so much, can feel very amazing nature and Niagara great river view. Highly recommended to visit this place, and can enjoy a relaxing hiking down river side, there is a lovely trail.

The trail walk is one of the most beautiful. You are literally walking along the Niagara river. :) You can see USA across the river. We definitely have a much beautiful side and a better view lol

We hiked the main loop trail at Niagara Glen. The 2-kilometer path was mostly easy with a few moderate sections, and it offered breathtaking views of the Niagara River. The roaring rapids provided a dramatic backdrop, and we loved the extra thrill of watching the whirlpool jet boats zip by. The well-maintained and clearly marked trails made for a relaxing and enjoyable walk.

Niagara Glen - Hiking Should have posted last year but never too late. Niagara Glen is an amazing spot for hiking with some of the best views of the Niagara River and whirlpool. The trails take you right down into the gorge, surrounded by beautiful rock formations, lush forest, and super clear water. It feels like a hidden world away from the tourist crowds. Trails are a bit rugged in spots, so wear good shoes, but it’s totally worth it. Great place for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers. One of the most underrated gems near Niagara Falls! FYI- Please take a big water bottle, its a bit tiring hike. I did see some people rock climbing as well.

We recently hiked the main loop trail at the Niagara Glen Trails and had a great experience. The trails are well maintained, clearly marked, and incredibly scenic. The staff at the Nature Center were very friendly and helpful. The center itself is well-designed and maintained. I did notice a few plastic bottles littered along the path. It's a request to all the visitors to be respectful of the forest and help preserve it for everyone. We only explored the main loop trail this time, but we’re looking forward to coming back and checking out the other trails.

We went for the afternoon tea. The grounds are beautiful and the tea room is an elegant. Glassed in area. The 3 tier plate that accompanies the tea includes sandwiches, scones, and various small cakes. The cranberry and blueberry scones were great. The sandwiches and cakes were fine, nothing outstanding. Service was very good.

We visited the McFarland House, Friday July 25 th. Our visit started in the opulent gardens which were such a treat. They were a combination of Country English Garden that combined a fully versatile Kitchen Garden. What a world of abundance we would live in if we all planted with so much purpose and beauty. As we entered the house there were three hosts were bubbling around. They were full of so much joy and laughter. We signed up for a tour of the house to learn about the McFarland House, John McFarland and his family. That house had interesting features including the brickwork and the methods applied in building the house. Very interesting to anyone in construction or architecture. The guide highlighted many original features including peek holes into the original paints. The main stairway which was ahead of its time. The original locking mechanism on the front door. To one of the original cast iron heaters. Upstairs they have set up the main bedroom, a child’s bedroom, a servants room (Which in all likelihood would not have been in the main house.) and as the house was used as a hospital during the war of 1812 there was a soldiers room. This area is ripe in history especially of the war of 1812. It is the focus of the tour. My only disappointment was there was no mention of the history of of our First Nations and how this land came to be in the possession of the McFarlands. Not to takeaway from the families history. Yet to honour the history of these lands and how our country came to be. Our tour was about 45 mins. We had some wonderful conversations with our tour guide and shared some trips down memory lane. We were able to share living history of seeing some of the artifacts in use in our families homes. My Great Grandmother used a chamber pot and a bed warmer her passing in 1979. My Great Aunt always used a wash stand in her bedroom til early 1980’s There was a clay pipe similar to the one my husband had til 2020. We were then fortunate to stay for High Tea in their beautiful Tea Room in the Conservatory. They were served by the tour guides in period dress. The sandwiches were watercress, cucumber and turkey. The scones cheese and chive, berry and plain with jam , cream and butter. Finished with an assortment of desserts and fruits. You have a selection of teas to enjoy. We loved the Scottish Breakfast Tea. I indulged in a mimosa. My only regret was not taking a picture of the Lady with the Pearls. We are making plans to return for the Murder Mystery event they offer. Accessibility of the fist floor was great. Sadly being a period home the 2nd floor would not be available to wheel chair users. I left my walker used my cane and they did provide spots to sit along the way. If you wish to have high tea I would recommend reservations.

The McFarland House was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! The historic charm, lush gardens, and beautifully maintained grounds created the most romantic atmosphere for our special day. From the moment we arrived, it felt timeless and intimate — like we had stepped into a fairytale. The natural beauty of the property meant we hardly needed extra décor, and every spot was picture-perfect for photos. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning and unique the venue was. The staff was also wonderful and ensured everything went smoothly. We are so grateful to have had such a magical place to begin our married life — it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Historic house with cafe where you can have high tea. Tours are offered as well. High tea would cost about CAD 20 per person and the tour about CAD 8. Closed for rest of 2025, check website for open hours. This site is close to Niagara River and walking trails. Parking is free for paying customers.

Beautiful atmosphere, relaxing, really good tea, and the high tea had delicious food/dessert selection. The server was polite, very well versed and also very knowledgeable about all tea selections. It was a lovely afternoon.

A wonderful place for a picnic in a place of history. Well kept area outside, can't wait to do a tour inside. Found a snake on my walk here.

I had my bridal shower here and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The staff were amazing and so kind. They had setup such a beautiful event that included the high tea setup, drinks, personalized cookies and stationary. Everything was delicious and beautiful. I couldn’t have imagined a better place or team for this event.

You must be in search of the best sunset view. Well you finally found it! This park is a hidden gem which took us years of searching. Best sunset view you can ever find. A small park located at a very nice silent residential neighbourhood in Niagara on the lake. Very nice place for a family picnic, family time just sat down enjoy the fresh air as you watch the sun set calmly through the night. Plenty of garbage bin around so there’s no reason to leave any clutter behind. Parking is very limited. I thing there’s only 4 side street spots available with 2 hour limit. You may have to find residential side street parking during peak times “weekends”. Not much lightings in the park at night so you may have to prepare if you okay to stay late at night. Attached some we took first week of October. Sun is like cherry red at this time of the year. We sat down to witness how it looks from sunset till dusk and no doubt, it’s amazing. if you think this review is helpful, do drop us a like below. Enjoy

Beautiful and tranquil spot to relax, and get a good view of the Lake of Ontario. Toronto is just on the other side of the lake. We dropped by this park on our way back to Toronto. Definitely a gem.

Quiet little park overlooking Lake Ontario, plenty of benches, a picnic table and small beach. Was told that it has a great sunset. Great place to wind down and enjoy a view of Toronto across the lake.

Quaint park at the end of Niagara Blvd with ample parking for about 7 vehicles for 1hr. The park lends itself for enjoyment of the vast Niagara River as you gaze outward into vast waters occasionally glimpse of sea vessels off in distance may jog across your timeline. The park is small but offers up 4 picnic tables for enjoyment, however the shoreline can be walked. The best feature is the homes adjacent to the park for leisure stroll.

This Park is situated on Niagara on the lake ....is not big but it is so beautiful....you can watch the sunset on a bench or listen to the sounds of Waves in a windy day!That whole surrounding is nice , clean quite and with houses of different styles and nice decorated now in Fall!!

This is a nice little park with a few benches and a couple picnic tables. We went to it for the first time in years and was surprised to see the little beach that was once there, has fallen victim to the high water levels. You can still sit on the flat rocks and enjoy a dip in the refreshing waters. One of my favourite places to watch the sunset...even though last night's was hidden behind the clouds :(

Great view of Lake Niagara. Toronto sits in the background. The water is almost at your feet. There are steps down. Be careful. The park sits in a neighborhood, minimal parking. Canadian Flag. Must visit. Try to go at night to get the view of Toronto’s skyline lit up.

The Money Gardens across from the Pillar and Post Inn is a must stop whilst visiting Niagara on the Lake. It is a beautifully curated garden and over the recent weekend the Vintage Hotel hosted a Canada Bloom fair. They held events, cooking shows, local vendors, fashion show and many other activities including a ride around the old town to see the floral displays. There was a teapot in front of the Prince of Wales hotel, a couple of lollipops in front of the Shaw Cafe, strawberries n peaches in front of the Pillar n Post and a wine glass filled with floral designs and a box of popcorn flowers plus a bee hive with lots of bees made from floral arrangements. Magical it was.

In the winter, there is a skating rink . You can rent skates. $ 5.00 . They also have a bar outside beside the rink . You can get hot chocolates cider Specialty coffees, just don't forget to ask Melanie for a cinnamon sticks .

Really awesome place for an afternoon or evening stroll during winter (but also summer, of course). Plenty to see and enjoy - there's plenty of benches, and a food heating spots too. Entry is free to the gardens; skating wasn't open yet mid-December due to warm temperatures, but should be open soon. There's a small post with warm and cold drinks for purchase.

The Gardens are a lovely spot to walk to from downtown. The OutPost bar is always open and serving lovely local drinks. Wonderful service!

Such a serene place with good display of Christmas decorations surrounding the area. Koi fish can be seen under the bridge and a waterfall can be heard while strolling the path. A bar is available to keep you warm on a drizzly night like tonight. Parking is available and wheelchair accessible. A beautiful place to visit while at Niagara on The Lake.

The Gardens at Peter and Paul are an elegant venue perfect for weddings, corporate functions, and other special events. Their team provides excellent service and offers customized catering and decor to create unforgettable occasions.

Beautiful Christmas garden full of light and winter beauty with a gigantic Christmas tree in the middle. The garden has multiple areas for seating ( some with gas burning fire pits) and for walking along many pathways and along a large pond that is decorated with lights during winter months. There is a barn turned into an event hall ( where the bathrooms are located) and a small bar on another corner of the garden offering some beverages ( cider, coffee cream, …) and snacks( pretzel,…) With a stay at one of the Vintage hotels, you will receive a free entry ticket and a food and drink voucher (and possibly a blanket to keep you warm).

I have traveled all over the United States and a decent amount of Canada, and this store is a true gem! This place is LOADED with AMAZING hand-made things. This man & woman really do have a very special store.

A wonderfully curated shop of Inuit art of all types from Canada’s northern regions. A wide range of objects along with a wide range of prices make it a great place to purchase the works of many native peoples to fit one’s budget.

What a beautiful store! My family and I felt very welcome when we walked in this past summer. The owner took the time to describe the stunning pieces she had on display. My son is very happy with his new dream catcher and the little temp tattoos she gave to him.

The store specializes in Inuit and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) art celebrating and promoting Canadian Native Artisans. The store has stuff ranging from winter gear such as gloves, hats, scarfs to home decor and art pieces. The collection is unique and artisanal but I found the prices a little expensive.

Enjoyed the selection of indigenous art and overall vibe of this store. Spoke with the shopkeep about Morrisseau and Jasper and found him very knowledgeable and kind. Would 💯 return and give this man my business.

When asked what nations are represented the sales person just very rudely said, all over Canada….. Most of the pieces don’t have direct labeling over all really disappointing. I appreciate what is labeled but she seemed very upset at the questions asked.

Upper Canada Native Art is a fantastic and creative Art store! The Supervisor, Alex, was very knowledgeable, professional and personal in every way to share the joy of the individual artists representing at the Art store! We will return for a another treasure!

There was no wait when we arrived, which was great. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes — there's so much to see outdoors! The gardens are beautiful and very well-maintained, and there's also a cafe on-site if you want to grab a bite. The conservatory itself isn't very large and was a bit crowded when we visited, so we only spent a few minutes inside before heading out. There's also a gift shop, though it's mostly stocked with souvenirs and items for young kids. The real highlight is definitely the outdoor space. We loved exploring the gardens, and there’s even a golf course nearby. Highly recommended for a relaxed day out in nature!

We wanted a kid and baby-friendly activity for our mini getaway and am so glad we opted for this. We’ve been to Niagara Falls dozens of times but had never thought to explore this gem and we were so glad we did. We spent less than an hour here (thank you previous Google reviewers about the paid parking tip and only needing an hour!) yet it felt much longer. Adults, kid and baby were so enchanted by the exotic beauty of the thousands of gorgeous butterflies fluttering around. What a treat it was to be in their domain and admire in awe and wonder. It is humid of course so recommend to come in a t-shirt, regardless of the actual weather outside. We had our baby in a baby carrier and it worked out wonderfully; saw some other babies in strollers and preferred having a baby carrier as it allowed us to navigate easily on the paths. Gift shop was a lovely browse too; purchased a cute hologram butterfly bookmark for our son to remember this conservatory every time he reads. Highly recommended!

Cool small dome filled with many butterflies and tropical plants. I was impressed by the number of butterflies, but expected a little more variety of types. 20-30 minutes is plenty to see everything. Kind of expensive at over $20 for an adult and $8 parking in the lot. I would say it's worth stop if it's part of an included package...probably dont need to go out of your way to see just that unless you are a big butterfly fan.

Butterflies, science, and my inner 5-year-old fully activated! I didn’t expect to be this entertained by butterflies, but here we are. The place is packed with them—so many different kinds that I started naming them like Pokémon. One even landed on my shoulder, and for a brief moment I considered adding “Disney princess” to my résumé. The real MVP was the butterfly caretaker who answered approximately one million of my questions (I basically turned my visit into a field trip). He was so patient and full of knowledge, it honestly made the whole experience that much cooler. If you’re anywhere near Niagara-on-the-Lake, make this a pit stop. It’s colorful, relaxing, and will have you questioning your life choices if you didn’t wear bright colors to attract more butterflies. 10/10 would visit again—armed with more questions and maybe a net (just kidding… kind of).

If I could give this place more stars, I would. This was an AMAZING experience that felt like pure joy and relaxation at the same time. There were so many absolutely stunning butterflies of all different kinds. 10/10 recommend this place whether you’re traveling, just trying to get the family out of the house, or even for a fun date. I cannot express how beautiful this place and experience was. After the experience there’s a cute gift shop, as well as gorgeous gardens and even a cafe! Definitely a highlight of my vacation!

I’ve been here TWO times for my birthday, i LOVE it. I also really love Kyle, one of the workers there. he’s just like me. Tell Kyle he’s awesome. He might not remember me but i’m the pale boy with long-ish brown hair. Anyway, the butterflies are beautiful, the orange ones with yellow spots usually do not like touching me for some reason. remember to look for butterflies who are resting on the floor and pick them up and put them on a leaf so they don’t get stepped on! I recommend this place for insect enjoyers.

October 2025 review. I love butterflies. I been to Key West (Florida) butterfly conservatory as well, I find Niagara is probably bigger, has more variety of plants, trees and number of butterflies. STILL I find experience 45$ including tax for 2 adult people and 2 hour 16$ parking if you wanna enjoy garden and butterflies - way over priced and overvalued! Regardless how beautiful it all is - I still don't think it really worth 61$ for 2 hours being here. Alex Garden or Rosetta McClain Gardens (free parking) (Toronto) are absolutely free and as impressive as Nigara Botanical Garden. The city should cover some cost or at least offer free 2 hour parking. Tourist should not be treated as walking wallets.

Easy to medium challenging tracks, neat stuff to discover, but really no chance of getting lost. Great any time of the year! Trail running, the best of hiking and running! Mixed terrain, alternate side trails and with access to the Bruce Trail, this conservation area will not disappoint. Add more kilometers when you park outside the gates and walk/run an extra 2 km (return). If you prefer running on these rugged, swampy, and gritty trails to the cool, scenic colors, you'll want to run on these trails! The trails are hilly, rocky and narrow with options to take further wider footpaths on the main trails. Family friendly depending on choice of trails, however, not stroller or mobility aid friendly. Bring water and be prepared for "natural on site facilities". Alternately drive to the entrance but very narrow with muddy roads and be watchful for pedestrians. It is very refreshing from the 'magic' conservation areas and instead take in the rugged beauty of the cliffs. Find Laura Secord's trail and imagine what it must have been like when you walked 30 kilometers in the War of 1812 to warn James Fitzgibbon that Americans

This one’s a bit tricky to rate. If you’re after a quiet trail that’s easy to navigate and great for kids or beginner hikers, it’s a solid 5/5. For more seasoned hikers, it’s more of a pleasant forest stroll — mostly flat with minimal elevation, but still enjoyable. The trails are well-marked and well-maintained. Parking is limited, though it’s usually not too busy outside of long weekends. Keep an eye out for coyotes — I’ve spotted them even during the day. It’s also conveniently close to the Niagara Outlets and White Oaks Spa, making it a nice addition to a day trip in the area.

Refreshing! The air felt so clean and fresh from all the surrounding trees. The trails are somewhat bumpy. Interesting rock formations along the paths. Nature is a sight for soar eyes. It's so revitalizing!

Very nice trail along the Niagara escarpment, it could do with some better trail maps at the site as the loop is not clear where the Bruce trail diverges

This is a great 2.5km trail loop to explore and enjoy nature! The hills aren't too bad and the terrain isn't too rough so it's perfect for casual trail walkers and runners of all kinds! A lot of wild life and pretty flowers to brighten your day as well! You will LOVE it here!

Beautiful hike for autumn. Can make it as long or short as you want since there is quite a few paths you can take.

A nice forest conservation area that's a short 3-min drive from the Outlet Collection at Niagara and from White Oaks Conference Resort and Spa. Parking on site is free and is mostly parallel parking on both sides of street/lot. There are a few trails to choose from and there's lots to see. Different elevations so be prepared for a lower and upper level hike as you're next to the escarpment. The views are amazing and the trail we took was a loop so there wasn't a need to double back.

Moderate trail level. View after a long trail was just too good. Nice, peaceful and calm near the river. Lush green trees, tiny colourful flowers, clean and clear water just were eye pleasing. Definitely a must try trail. They is ample parking space and picnic tables to rest too.

Views are great. Trails is usually well kept and not too busy, except on hot summer days when there are lots of cyclists. Trail crosses the sometimes busy parkway a few times so beware. Nice to have a place to walk away from the city.

This spot will always hold a special place in my heart. 💜

It's good... losers make you pay everywhere for parking!

I've thoroughly experienced this trail, all the way to Niagara On-the-lake, for the past 27 years, and it never gets old. It's a magnificent place to walk, run, or ride your bike. I highly recommend this trail, specially if you love nature.

Legs will be burning and heart will be racing. All good stuff!! It's a very slippery trail. Make each step count.

Great trail, especially in the fall. Colours are amazing. Lots of stairs, so be prepared to climb down (and then up!!!!). Definitely worth it.

Safe. Fun. Nice friendly happy pooches. People r ok too. As far as people go. I prefer pooches!

Absolutely beautiful and clean.

Both small & large dog off-leash sides weren't shoveled on the paths at all. Is this something that the city does?

Great event location. There for the Porsche show. Easy access. Good parking. 5☆

The park is immense. Lots of tables under each pavilion. Play area for children. Ideal for picnic

I was really surprised at how nice the park is.. well organized spaces...playground, band area, dog park lots of parking lots of well manicured green space

Good playground for the kids, excellent off-leash dog park for the kids with four legs

3 beautiful pipe organs, 1 wonderful grand piano, all in an intimate, yet resonate, acoustic! 👌😍

Beautiful minimalist old church which has been very well maintained (and attended). Acoustics are great (attended 2+) free mini-concerts over the years and feel like I am in one of the world class music venues. Worth a drop in, especially if during one of the local festivals (I was there for the Cherry one) and a free concert is of the offering.

Such a beautiful historical building in the heart of Old Town Niagara on the Lake. The staff are very knowledgeable on all the carpentry and stained glass windows, and the cemetery behind the church is another example of history in the region

Beautiful historic church, they give tours and explain. Historic grave yard around. Lovely place for a wedding.

Great caring community with wonderful music during services ... not to mention I beautiful, historic property both church, cemetery and rectory.

Love the cemetery the old look the grounds the church setting magnificent peaceful serenity good place to go think place of history

Beautiful church. Lots of parking. The wedding ceremony was absolutely gorgeous I attended there.

Fr did a wonderful job marrying by beloved niece & her husband. It was a personal and touching service.

Beautiful Sunday service. Was visiting from Toronto, glad I went.

Beautiful church outdoors

Gorgeous historic church shepherded by Father Paul Rowe. This is the longest continuously operating Catholic Church in all of Ontario. Brian plays a mean organ, so pick up a songbook and join in on the songs of praise during the beautiful service..

what is phenomenal church just had my little cousin baptized here today and the priest was very professional and friendly and approachable the setting was very respectable.

I felt so much peace when I visited this church.

Very nice church with friendly parishioners

Had a great hike at Short Hills today. No ticks in late May but I still did wear spray and long sleeves just in case. Conditions were good - horses chewed up some of the trail likely after all the rain we have had but it’s manageable and only one spot on the Swayze Loop. Swayze Falls was dry, but the Terrace Creek falls had some water going. Super quiet and a great morning.

There is a decent amount of free parking with additional parking on the road. There is a bathroom in the one parking lot it seems to be open year round. They have alot of hiking trails there, you could hike for 20k and not see the same trail twice. Swayze falls is very beautiful, but does dry up quite a bit in the summer. You can walk up the creek and see the falls from down below with is really nice. Makes a perfect place for a picnic. Trail can get quite muddy, but lots of fun.

My favourite local hiking spot. If you deviate from the main trail you can find yourself exploring some really cool areas. Hikes can last from 1 hour to several depending on where you decide to go. I love coming here every summer for my cardio. I highly recommend wearing long pants and long sleeved apparel aswell as hiking boots if you veer away from the main trail as ticks are quite prevalent. It can also get fairly muddy after a rainfall. Have fun! And always check yourself afterwards! Happy hiking!

After hearing from multiple friends who enjoy hiking that Short Hills Provincial Park is the best place to go, I finally decided to visit last year. Unfortunately, Apple Maps led us to the middle of a road. After driving around for a while, we gave up and went to a familiar spot instead. Determined to try again, we revisited Short Hills last week. When the same thing happened, I checked Google Maps and quickly realized the issue: I hadn’t entered the correct parking lot. Once I entered ‘Parking Lot A’ into my device, we arrived without any trouble. Despite the initial setbacks, I am extremely disappointed with all the potential hikes I missed out on over the past year. Short Hills is undoubtedly the best place for avid hikers in the area, not crowded with tourists like some other popular hiking spots. With an abundance of trails, you can use the AllTrails app to decide the distance and route of your hike (follow me on AllTrails, Scooter Nagy). I highly recommend giving Short Hills Provincial Park a visit; you won’t be disappointed by the beautiful trails and serene environment.

Started coming here years ago to tackle all 7 trails. completed. Now I am bring my grandkids here to do the same. love the views. different levels of difficulty in paths. Ive seen wild turkeys, skunks, hawks, deer among others. Can't wait to go back!

While hiking the Bruce Trail from end to end we inevitably came thru the park. We have liked it a lot. The meandering creek flowing at the base of the sweeping hills gave us such a pleasant feeling. We didn't explore the other trails that are in the park, but we have put this place on our bucket list. The waterfalls were amazing as well. We only saw the Terrace Creek and the Swayze. Amazing sights, for sure

I’ve come to this park over ten times now and every time I leave amazed. The trails take you through various ecosystems; a hardwood grove ( black walnut trail), wildflower fields (scarlet tanager) waterfalls, thick pine forests ( hemlock valley). There are levels of difficulty for all to enjoy! I’ve always parked up by Pelham road and walked down the steep gravel path before merging onto other trails, but recently I broke with tradition and tried Wiley road. What a gem! Please try it. Scarlet tanager to hemlock was my favourite section this time of year because of the bustling wildflower fields. Teeming with butterflies and bees. In winter time or after great rains I’d say swayze loop because the falls are magical. Well worth the exhaustive 2 hours. Not this time of year, though. The drought effects everything.

It is a very beautiful garden where you can easily spend 30 minutes looking at the lilacs. There are other nearby attractions, so if you have already made the drive, don't forget to check out the clock. The view of the river, which is also a close walk away, is also worth it. Parking is free, but during the season in May, it's very busy.

Always love coming here, since lilacs are y favourite flower and scent! You have to time it just right though cuz the blossoms don't last long before they start wilting, sadly!

My most favourite place to visit near the end of spring!! There's hundreds, and hundreds of fragrant Lilac bushes, in all sizes and varieties!! The second you step out of your vehicle their smell entices you to get closer and take them all in. Lilacs are my absolute favourite flower...I really wish they all lasted longer...and the Lilac Garden is Heaven to me!! There is also a small side garden with other beautiful flowering bushes. Best time to visit is early-mid May, to about the first week in June.

Please come and enjoy the Lilac Garden, but please don't pic them. Take only pictures, leave nothing, and enjoy our wonderful park. Don't be these ladies who took massive hand fulls of Lilac flowers. If everyone did what they chose to do, there would be nothing left for other to enjoy, and it hurts the plants.

Beautiful place, well-maintained grounds. It was a bit difficult to find parking, but most likely because it was the peak of the tree blooming season.

Lots of different colours.Next to Floral clock.Wewent around 5pm.Parking wasnt a problem.

Wow! What an amazing place. It's a delight for your visual and olfactory senses. There are 100s of lilac trees in the park and you can see all colours of lilac. We visited the Niagara region many times, but this was the first time we stopped here. Now, it's going to be a "must" stop when we visit Niagara in May.

Incredibly beautiful place, perfect for a picnic. Too bad they keep the washrooms locked during fall and winter.

Very scenic, quiet place. There is a large fielded area, tons of picnic tables, barbecue grills, a tennis court, park and tons of free parking. There were lots of trash cans in the area. Lots of trees and little accessible trails. There are washrooms as well as clean outhouses. There’s some vandalism on the outhouses and buildings.

Great mix of shade and sun. There's an abundant amoung of tables for picnicking, including several lined up for large groups. We use the charcoal BBQs all the time, just bring your own pumice, stone to clean it, and some charcoal, and you're good to go. The washrooms are surprisingly clean and don't smell to high heavens. If you're looking for a great place to hang out with the family for the day, this is it!! But, remember, this is a nature park, you need to make your own adventure and fun.

Tons of green space! Newly paved roads that will be great for rollerblading, lots of benches, picnic tables and shade. Playground is fairly large and located by a large parking lot. Didn't have a chance to go down the dip and up the hill to check out the dog park - next time. 😉

Nice trails. Lots of options to explore or take an easy walk. Very peaceful. There's a large playground structure for the kids as well to get some energy out.

It's a perfect place to unwind and have a picnic,very quiet and nice to be close to nature.I love coming here especially when everything is close there is no place to compare it with.It has biking trails and huge areas to walk and jog, its very close to my place....Its very nice to explore the area...it would be nice if there is water fountain and splash pad,it is worth visiting..

Great place to go train your dog. Get off the beaten path and head down the trails. The dog park is closed due to covid, but there dogs can still socialize out there. Also there's some fire pits and kids zone. So there's a lot to do if you bring your own fun!

It's a nice park to walk around but was expecting more info/interaction regarding the historic piece. Beautiful park

The buildings are in good shape. The historical notices are informative. It's all very low key. There are public bathrooms at the recreation building just East through a small forest. I go there regularly for the 60% of The Commons set aside for leash-free dog walking. The Commons is surrounded by a paved, tree-shaded walkway.

It's basically a large field with a few remaining fort buildings that you can't access. It's mostly used by joggers and locals. These pics are of the annual Scout Brigade.

It's very interesting when you find out more about this location. It's free parking and free to view. Unfortunately you can't enter any of the buildings but it's still a great piece of history.

Great place that I have missed before. Definitely a place to visit. Smart presentation of the history through the see through windows feature stands.

Great place to teach your children the history of how Canada came to be independent. Let's hope our politicians can keep it that way.

Barrack is not open inside but you can see a formered staple and two cannons are sitting beside.

Beautiful park. Splash pad. Lots off shade and places to sit and have bite or a coffee. My kids absolutely loved it.

It's a trail, path is cemented over so it's like a side walk goes from downtown Niagara Falls by City Hall and almost reaches Clifton Hill. It is not maintained in the winter and part of the trail can be very dark at times, I've seen people in the dark drinking, found a guy passed out on the grass and sometimes there's sketchy people, if going at night best to not go alone, day time it's fine there plenty people walking about. The park is nice they have a splash pad and just installed a new bicycle fixing station which is neat I've never anything like it.

It's a simple park for kids nothing really to Rave about. Neighborhood seems a little bit sketchy though and there was some weirdos hanging around in the vicinity.

Toddlers and preschoolers love the simple splash pad and climbing on the big rocks. Many cyclists stop to "chill". Good for a quick break. Not much green space for a picnic but overall clean and quiet for a downtown park.

I would give it a five star. But 3 year's ago, I did phone the town Hall and reported my granddaughter getting her finger pinched almost stuck, from the the one spin toy they have there. Since then two other children have got hurt by the same thing. The last one were vacationers, tourist. And they were really upset and disappointed that the city hadn't done anything to solve the problem. Of course I told them what happened to my grandchild 3 year's Pryor. The children are ment to spin this wheel. But the space in between catches their finger or fingers. Why DO THEY WAIT! FOR A SERIOUS INJURY BEFORE FIXING THE THE PROBLEM. Like SERIOUSLY! PLEASE TO WHOMEVER is in charge , before a child gets seriously injured, fix this problem. Or at some point...Think ya know.

If you are taking a walk back from the falls to the train or bus it's the place you can relax till you get the transport. Not a big one but still a nice one with benches and water splash pads.

We love bringing the kids to this park. We walk the trail and will wander down on river road. It's well kept and clean. Never had any issues. Our kids enjoy it very much.

My dog loves this place! I love that there is a paved track to walk and 2 different sides - large dogs / small dogs. The only down side is that people with large dogs let their dogs of leash to play in the field next to the dog park & I have seen some dogs off leash come up to the fence of the dog park, acting aggressively, which has made me nervous to leave the enclosed area / fear being attacked when I leave - it's strange because I'm not the type to be afraid of dogs. Other than that uneasiness from time to time - it's a good experience

My puppy loves it. People are freindly. Update - The only thing I have heard from many people that use it is they wish they would fix the top tap on the fountain. Would be easier to fill dishes and water bottles. Hopefully someone reads this and can maybe look into fixing it.

Conveniently located, very clean, gated area with water available. The walking path is smooth and well maintained. Our dog is very friendly and we are excited to go again soon so he can make more friends.

As dog parks go,.it is good. Shaded and good size. Like most, some people don't watch their dogs and a few without manners.

We were visiting Niagara region from Toronto and heard from friends and reviews that this place was great. We'll they were right! Our corgi loved the park. Plenty of shade, paths around the park, fresh water available and the park is separated into small and large dog sections, completely lined with fence. There are also trails outside of the park! Just beautiful.

Good park. Wish they had some bins inside to throw. Also, if grass could be maintained in the older dogs' side area.. But otherwise it's okay.

Best dogpark we have ever been to. Very well designed and built. Clean and always has friendly locals and dogs around!

The place is clean and beautiful. But not so big. It has about 8 free parking lots and no playing stuff for kids. I can see Tront City from there.

Nice park to walk around and explore. You can look across the river at the United States, and when it is clear enough you can see Toronto across the lake. Great place to watch the sunrise in the morning.

What a beautiful park. We spent the day swimming and kayaking while others walked through the park enjoying the gorgeous view. The kids enjoyed playing in the sand and chasing the Canadian geese. We also saw newlyweds having their photo's done in the gazebo and other riding past on horseback. I recommend this park for its unique beauty.

It is beautiful and relaxing. U Can bring a picnic or just sit and relax or play a game. Whatever. U pay for parking and they do ha e bathrooms. Totally worth it

Beautiful beach, lots of shady spots, not much sand but plenty of space. Very quiet despite there being quite a few people.

Had a wonderful experience with my family. Paid parking available. Washrooms were operational. Plenty of space to socially distance. Was a pleasant calming experience with the family.

Extremely beuaitufl village with a small city vibe. Recommend spending a day there, although the day tours can suffice for people on a tighter schedule.

My dog LOVES this park. How can I tell? I usually take her to Fireman's Park in Niagara (closer distance) but it is worth the extra drive to see her run around, trot around, and happy! She is also terrible off leash so this park being the size of a baseball diamond is PERFECT. HOWEVER...four stars because the water drainage is terrible. When it rains, there are puddles throughout the park. Currently still is a pool of stinky muddy water that you cannot miss, I wish something could be done about this.

Burgoyne Woods Dog Park is a fantastic spot for dogs and owners alike. It offers spacious fields with separate areas for big and small dogs, plenty of shade from tall trees, and a mini forest perfect for exploring. The park is clean, well-maintained, and full of sticks for fetch lovers. Water bowls are conveniently available, making it easy to keep pets hydrated. A welcoming, friendly place for every dog.

The place was a little swampy and mushy.. but it's spring.. the endless rain doesn't help. Has a little creek in middle and a big pond around some trees.. The dogs had a blast...it's a nice place to go for a walk or have a picnic too. I just went to dog park

My dogs love it here. They have separate areas for small and big dogs. The big dogs area is huge so a los of space for them to be running and plying.

Great spot to take your dog to socialize and run around in the massive fenced in field. There’s also a small dog section, but personally mine prefers to run with the big dogs! lol.

Best dog park. Separate areas for small and larger dogs if you want. Aprox 3/4 of an acre for the small dogs and 2 acres for the larger dogs in a well maintained fenced in area with double gated entry and fresh available water.

A friend of mine brought our puppies to the park to play with each other and the puppies loved it that they could run around and tire themselves out

A little small but nice to see a park like this in an older residential part of the city. We visited on a winter day with good snow cover, so no mud issues. Good seating and lots of street parking nearby.

It was extremely muddy although that did stop Finn from having a wonderful time

Female dog in heat is not allowed to go to this park (as posted at the entrance) but stupid people brought their dog here anyway. I had to leave withmy bichon as the scent drove my poor little guy crazy! I agreed with other comments about the slobby, rude and selfish dog owners.

A decent dog park with awesome dog owners and pups. Just watch out for Karens 🙄 they like to cause a scene out of nothing. When dogs starts to sniff each other, Karens will start to screech lol

Even though we've had a lot of rain recently, I was surprised at just how muddy this park is. It was like a swamp. The city should do something about that. Other than that, it's a nice park for the dog to run in

Nice park, but won't be going back. My dog is extremely social and friendly but doesn't like it when male dogs try to mount her when she isn't in heat, and people tend not to watch their dogs here.

Great place to let my dog off his leash and just watch him run and play with all the other friendly dogs. 😎😎😎

Nice play area for my dog. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. Beautiful scenery. My dog, Teddy loves going to the dog park and he’s always worn out when we leave. Great place. ❤️🐶

It’s hard to find dog parks in the WNY area that are fenced. Sometimes the grass is a little long but it’s been unusually rainy (spring/summer 2019) so maybe that has something to do with it. There isn’t any shade but the times we’ve come it’s been breezy or downright windy so we haven’t had any problems with it being too hot-still you may need sunscreen on a sunny day. One water pump seems to work on the large dog side, but the one oon the small dog side is broken. We bring our own water jug and bowl just to be on the safe side. The large dog side is usually more muddy, specifically upon entering and along the fence. It’s best to wait for a day of sun if you’re trying to avoid it. If it’s been raining for a couple days you’re sure to find puddles though. Still I like it better than the paw park in Amherst, less areas for mud. I think there’s less chance of being bitten by bugs here in the evening as well, paw park seemed to have a lot of flies and that around 6-8 pm, haven’t been there in the day yet. (Using as a comparison since it’s also fenced). You can see in the pictures the entrance and side with mud and water is the large dog side.

Large fenced in dog park. 2 enclosed areas, one for dogs under 35lbs and the other for larger breeds. Waste bags and garbage cans placed throughout each area and water available weather pending

Nice large park with some seating and running water; my largest concern was the absolute lack of shade. Lovely local folks take pride in the maintenance and cleanliness of the park, which is always lovely!

Very clean, poo bags are provided if you forgot your own. It can be a bit windy since it's out in the open on top of a hill. There are two areas, one for dogs under 30lbs and one for dogs over 30lbs. There's also a faucet and bowls for dogs to drink from. Overall, a fun place!

Great park - split small and large dogs. Agility type equipment in both. Well kept, clean.. lots of running room

It's a nice park, but we did encounter an owner that knows his dog is aggressive and made know attempt to control him until I yelled at him.

This is the little market across from MacFarlane Park( which is a good place to walk,have tea or a picnic). The market has a great assortment of local fruit and vegetables and lots of pumpkins.

A beautiful place. There is a free parking lot but I think the main parking lot is paid. Small park but in the farms and quite besides the cars passing by. There is a washroom. The only downside is you can't see Niagara River from here as the park is very high and many trees on the edge that block the scene. It would be extraordinary if the river was not blocked. However, there is a very long stairs that will take you to the edge of the river.

FYI Washroom hours

The park itself, was Gorgeous! But the parking lots and the new APP must be American only. Because I could not insert payment information. Nor did the parking lot account in their database. Therefore we could not park.

Nice park in a posh neighborhood, close to the touristy bit of Niagara falls. Unfortunately parking space is usually unavailable and people tend to park on the green belt despite that not being allowed.

A quiet spacious green landscape designed to be a nice park for picnic and any sort of group gathering. Free parking and close to downtown of Niagara on-the-lake.

Beautiful Park! Great for a picnic or a bike ride or even just a nice stroll on the path.

Great dog park. A few benches and small shade trees. The grass was freshly cut and I did not see a lot of un-scooped poo, which was nice for a public dog park. When I arrived with my dog the other dogs already in the park, were taken away from the gate by their owners so we could enter. It was nice not being overcome by a group of dogs when you first enter the park. I was traveling and everyone I met there was friendly. There is no water in the actual dog park, rather the fenced in between area between the parking lot and the off leash dog park. There is a section for a large and small dogs as well as a fenced area that goes all the way around both dog parks, think a horse race track.

Wonderful dog park but no one cleans up after their dog when they crap. It's filthy with dog poop. I picked up over 40 piles of poop on the right hand side. I can’t even imagine what the rest of the dog park looks like Such a great place to take our dogs. People need to clean up after their dogs!

Very nice park with a great playground for kids. A very nice dog park. Nice bathrooms and a short hiking trail.

Love everything about this place can't wait to spend an entire day w my son and dog both will have so much fun

Clean park. Very interactive. Safe for all children and even has a nice hiking trail

I just started taking my dog there and it's a very nice place to go. Most people I have met are friendly and so are the dogs but I have been keeping my dog by himself until he gets to know the others.

I LOVE this park! ❤ They have so much to offer and everything is recently remodeled and beautifully maintained. Really great playground, Clean restrooms, Large Dog park, beautiful nature paths all throughout, gorgeous old buildings, huge open spaces for activities and sports fields. I grew up down the road and have been coming constantly my entire life. Even now that I moved a bit out of the neighborhood, I still visit. If anything this park has gotten better over the years. It's safe, beautiful, and has something for everyone to enjoy. You can even find a lone 200 year old grave tucked away on one of the paths.

Very fresh…natural and quiet place…it’s like a little forest❤️

The picnic area is gorgeous...quiet..and secluded from the tourists at Queenston heights park....don't feed the coyotes!!!! Animals that have no fear of humans end up being destroyed....

Excellent, pretty, private, great view of Niagara River and Gorge, wonderful picnic spot and great to take our Pet. She so loved this daily treat as other favourites... A real treat to listen to entertainment coming from Art Park in the United States which is scene from the Canadian side!!! Jane & Johnny & "Indiana" !

My favorite hidden place in Niagara Falls. No parking fees, beautiful nature and views. Bbq grills and benches are in the area.

Beautiful little picnic area. Lots of birds to see and great views.

What a beautiful place for scenery lovers.

Natural, well maintained, attractive floral clock, free parking

Very cute church with Greek style pillars on the outside. I didn’t tho inside so can’t comment on that.

Had gone for the cemetery walk it was delightful funny and informative. What a wonderful Canadian history right in Niagara on the lake . Beautiful church! Wonderful!

This is a great church for the family. Everyone is very welcoming and non judgemental. 5/5 would recommend this church.

Good building. Enough parking

The church has a lot of history and unique inside. My father is buried in the cemetery here.

Loved the Strawberry festival,

Beautiful church. Alot of local Settler history.

Great park with splash pad, skate park, 2+ kids' playgrounds, soccer fields, baseball fields, and probably more to be discovered! Free parking with ample spots.

Nicely laid out, wide open park with a splash pad, covered area and washrooms. But, no swings for some reason.

Great facility for all ages; there's soccer fields, baseball fields, splash pad, large playground, workout stations, walking path, pavilion and washrooms! The grounds are well maintained.

My 3 y/o granddaughter loved the splash pad! It was so hot and she had been good for the entire trip so this was her reward and she had a blast! There were only a handful of families there and she enjoyed playing with the other kids. The bathroom was very clean. What an amazing local resource to enjoy. I'm so glad we found it. 🙂

We enjoy our new park.

This is a big beautiful park with something for everyone- 2 playgrounds, a skate park, slash pad, baseball diamonds, soccer fields and ball courts. There's also a large pavilion with 20 or so picnic tables that can be rented.

Virgil stampede at Centennial park was great this year after a 2 year absence. Lots of people and kids of all ages having fun. The fireworks for Victoria Day was superb.

This place is fantastic. A great walk along the water with lots to see and experience. Wildlife everywhere! I'll be back to spend the better part of a day here as soon as I can!

This "park" is right between a sewage treatment plant and a lagoon that collects runoff from all the farms and vineyards in the area. Use your imagination as to what might be in the lake with you and your pet. I don't think public health does regular testing of water safety. Summer 2023. I found 2 syringes on beach. Don't know if they washed up there or someone left them behind. Either way be careful when visiting.

Beautiful place. Quiet, clean. Amazing views

Great place to access the beach and a couple of trails. Additional parking across the street.

A nice park with great views of the lake and a pond. Autumn colors were amazing. There is limited parking in front but right across the street there is plenty of space. The only problem was it wasn't maintained well. There was garbage everywhere and many bonfire leftovers. The lawn around paths wasn't mowed as well. Spending around 30 mins would be sufficient to see the whole park

Not the best place to swim, be aware of ticks Long Grass and a hike to the beach. There are no stairs and swimming is our own risk.

Nice walk down memory lane. This was once known as Canadian Forces training area C Niagara where soldiers during WW1,WW2 and then later CF Reservist (Militia) used to training. It was attached to the Niagara on the Lake Ranges which was closed down in the early 2000.

We were walking through Niagara on lake neighbourhood’s and came across this beautiful area. I leaned a lot and I encouraged my kids to read the information. Very nice and educational experience.

Free to visit. Difficult to find parking in the area during the summer months. Moving experience to talk through this park. Good place to reflect. Some benches to enjoy your time. Well maintained park all around. Plaques all around explaining this tribute.

Couldn’t find parking, so just a drive by. The town is really cute, and amazingly crowded. Everything is high end - looks like a hangout for the very rich. If you want to see how they live, drive through the neighborhood - just don’t try and park.

This was a beautiful experience to visit this park. Thank you for creating something special to remember the men and women who traveled North toward freedom.

Great green space to go and a very important part of Canadian history and those with African descent taught here on these plaques.

It was a moving experience to visit this park and reflect on the past and present. The park showcases important events in Canadian history. It is important to know about the significant Black presence in Canada, and specifically in Niagara on the Lake.

This is the first stop on the Voices of Freedom journey. A great way to begin viewing the history of people of African descent in Niagara Region. The art installation is well done and thoughtful.

Beautiful looking park with lots of different activities to do while you are there. They have a pond for fishing, swings, playground, water pad, volleyball, walking paths, pavilions and picnic tables. Everything looked to be in great clean working order. Cannot wait to watch a concert here this summer. Keep up the great work.

Simply a beautiful park. It's clean and offer so much for families with kids. Check out their summer events including their Monday Music Mania! The food options are great. A must visit!

This town park has it all! A playground, splash pad, mini golf (small fee), a fishing pond, walking paths, and places to picnic. In the summer, there is a weekly free concert series on Monday evenings.

What a beautiful park that has everything you need in one place.

So much to do at the park. There are lots of upgrades to the park. We hold a lot of fault celebrations here. In the summer they hold free summer music concert series, there's a kids splash pad & small playground, mini golf, soccer & baseball fields, a community center that can be rented, walking paths around the fishing pond & a nature path that goes into a small wooded area. The veterans memorial wall is also very nice.

We attended several of the free Monday night concerts that run during the summer months. The Town of Niagara has done an incredible job of creating a beautiful park for all to enjoy. A beautiful veterans memorial, walking paths, bocce ball, mini golf, summer concert venue, all come together to provide a wonderful place to spend some time!

The splash pad is located right next to a playground with wood chips. Id say bring more durable shoes to be equipped to go to both if you're traveling with smaller kids. The splash pad does have staff on site. There are many bathrooms close by, but only a few benches to sit down. I would say to ensure that you have a place to sit, I'd bring some camp chairs for next time. Everything was very clean. I personally wouldn't bring any glass because it's all concrete. *You'll need to bring your own snacks and water ; no vending machines around this area that I saw*

Nice quiet park, great for teaching tennis to my kids. Especially helpful is the backboard!

Pretty little park hidden away in Niagara on the Lake, tennis courts, children's play area, basketball, and soccer field. Dogs allowed only on leash

Community park with good playset for younger children. Has cushioned flooring. Park also has tennis courts.

Quiet neighborhood park with perfect play area for the toddler/pre school age.

I love taking my kids to this park. It's always very clean and not crowded.

Sweet park. 2 nice hard tennis courts.

Always a great spot that's never busy
