Nice place, did a job in a building close by, had to look up the amenities. Not quite my kind of park but it looks well maintained and has something for everyone

shreya chatterjee

Very tranquil place ,with plenty of parking lot. Well maintained and good opportunity for photography.must go for a day outing.

Terry Kamps

St. Thomas's biggest park, with a brand new playground for the kids. Tennis courts are great and was glad to see people out watching a ball game at Emslie field.

Doug Assis

One of the cleanest and better organized parks in the region.

Karen Dryburgh

One of the prettiest, well kept parks I’ve ever been too. Nice wide paths through the woods at the back of the park with several big old trees. The path leads back to Lake Margaret, which also has a walking/biking trail all around it. Several picnic tables, lots of trees and shade to setup under. a great place for a family get together. Tons of open grass space for baseball, football, etc. Acouple nice pavilions and a very popular splashpad. The park staff always plant gorgeous flower displays every year.

Harry Smith

Great place for a walk and admire the park.

Melanie Kennedy

Beautiful area,had a great time...needs more washrooms.

Ron Bernard

Awesome community facilities. Beautiful and very relaxing.

Dkampers Deb

Nice park. Decided to try something new today with the dog on a drive. We ended up here. Some families used the playground for small kids..others were on paths. I decided to do a shorter walk with a small dog. Nice n clean. Nice scenery.

Jessy U

It's a large park mainly great for family or public events... Has a nice playground and splashpad as well as a band shelter.

Garry Robbins

Peaceful park to walk, play, meditate. Roads are not too big so cars need to drive slow. Facilities have been well-maintained.

Liam Cloes

Always a beautiful park anytime of the year, amazing floral displays all spring and summer long! Lots of great events happening here all year long!

Hannah Elias

A beautiful park with extensive trails. Lots of places to sit and relax, as well as a pond, playground, bandshell, and sports fields. Highly recommend taking a walk around here!

Mousumi Saha

Peaceful. Clean.

Dee M

Great park, not packed, it's a big park. Lots to do. Hiking/walking in forest on pathways near a beautiful pond. Lots of green space to play andrelax, alone or with people. Parking.

RobertG Smith

Pinafore Park is a St.Thomas icon. It is clean, well run, and very well maintained. We stopped by to eat our take out lunch and be see the squirrels, geese, ducks in the park. We were also surprised by a small hawk flying around looking to score a squirrel for lunch. It was entertaining to see nature at it's finest. If you haven't visited you should, if you have you should go again. It is a beautiful place.

Elizabeth Stevens

Beautiful park, lots of wide, concrete paths. Beautiful scenery, went there when the Fall colours were starting. Good, clean portables.

Jody “Papa Joe” Knowles

This is a beautiful huge park, wanna go for a pleasant walk, this is the place to go. It connects to Lake Margaret via the concrete pathway through the woods. It has a splash pad adjoining the playground and plenty of places to have a picnic. Bring your fishing pole and catch a bass in Pinafore Lake!

JDM AFFILIATE

Such a beautiful well kept park! So many memories made there over the years. I can't imagine st.thomas without pi afore park!

The Moore Family

Fun for kids with great new playground. However layout is not great to be able to see kids play for those who may need to sit down (such as grandparents). No fence around playground and too many obstructions. I much prefer Waterworks or Cowan Park as their playgrounds are designed better for parents to watch their kids play and keep an eye on them at all times and watch for creepers...no obstructions. Cowan has a fence too.

tamedfangirl

This is a huge park. There's a ton of pavilions and ever a little splash pad with some small water slides and and things. It's kind of a bummer that you can only go one way around because if you accidentally pass your venue, you have to go ALL the way back around.

Tim Mason

A great place to go for an afternoon. Lots to do, especially in the summer. Splash pad. Walking trails through the woods. Large grassy areas. Picnic areas.

Lia Michelle

Definitely our favourite park. Fantastic climbers, lots of swings, awesome walking trails, and of course a great splash pad for the warmer months!

Myra Pettit

Beautifully kept city park that feels like country. Great splash pad, walking paths, ice cream all summer, new public washrooms, Emslie Field for baseball games, outdoor concerts in bands he'll, tons of parking.

yoshiman6688

Park is a nice place to take a walk. Most areas are fairly quiet. Place also has a decent park that was quite busy in past summers.

Drew Ekes

Awesome place for kids! Our daughter is 6 and had alot of fun here. Plenty of things to climb and explore. There is also a Splash Pad in spring & summer months.

Clean, spacious and so much to do. Was an age appropriate trip for the whole family. Celebrated missed birthdays, let the kids play and loved the splash pad. Great park, highly recommend

J

They've upped the ????-e on this park quite a bit over the years. I love to set up at the Bandshell and skate and as it turns out, as long as you're not destroying their property, they really don't mind. Love this park and I love my town.

Chad J

Great park with activities for all ages.

West Felicidad

Great place to have fun for kids and aduls as well. BBQ is permitted but no coal fire allowed, only propane grills.

kira hydra

It is a fun park. Great playground for kids of all sizes. The spashpad is fun to watch your kids run around in the water or even join in with them. A great deal of events happen here and it has something for everyone

Marlypoo West

A lovely park with many features and great pavilions for picnics.

Jimmy Trieu

St Thomas has put a lot of work into making the city more livable and enjoyable for its residents. This park is a lovely little gem for people of all ages. Lots of open space and greenery, great playground for kids, a splash pad and even a waterfall.

Alfred Cromwell

Awesome park for walks beautiful area and well maintained. The walk around the lake great view

Damian David Chapman

Day or night, rain or shine, this park has lots of areas & covered & not to hang out, webby a picnic, play lawn games & wonderful paved trails perfect for family bike rides & visitors w/mobility aid. This park is as enjoyable now as it was 50 yrs ago in my early years as a young boy.

Jonathan Fuerth

Pinafore Park has a really excellent set of well-maintained playground equipment: swings, saucer swings, slides, climbers, zip tracks, and even a splash pad for really hot days. Historical note: when I was a child myself (1980's), Pinafore Park had a working steam engine that the public could take a ride on for a small fee. The train and its tracks are both gone now. If you have similar memories, don't head out to the park expecting to take a train ride! (Note on ratings: "service" doesn't really make sense in this context. The "Excellent" service refers to the cleanliness and state of repair in the playground facilities)

Fawn S.

I lived next to this park for nearly 40 years. It’s one of the only things I will miss about St Thomas. A beautiful green space, nice splash pad and fun activities.

Mark Fawcett

In the spring and fall the flowers are amazing. It's a great place to picnic or read a book.

Candice Leona Lubick

Been coming here since I was a child... Meet a friend for a distanced visit and picnic lunch Best park ever!

Clenry Guzman

Very nice and safe park????

This park is a great place for a family outing or even great to enjoy by yourself. For the summer months there is a Splash Pad. Playground is also located here as well as many pavilions and a band concert/Shelter. There are also Public restrooms

Dragonlord jason

Great place for a picnic and family pics

Tom Crooker

Amazing Park, with stuff for the whole family including Trails, Tennis and Pickle Ball courts. As well as a ball diamond.

henry post

It was great to take part in planting one of the memorial trees

Steph Neale

St Thomas has done a great job uprading this park over the last decade. Excellent playground, splash pad, lots of picnic tables and shelters for family gatherings. The waterfall that flows into the pond is beautiful.

Wayne Newton

Jewel of the St. Thomas parks system has multi-use paths, impressive art, a splash pad, bandshell and historic Emslie Field ballpark. Lots of picnic shelters. Path system leads to Lake Margaret, a former gravel pit.

MANPREET KAUR

Loved the greenery... the nature...

Neil Moore

A great park. There is a splash pad and play area for the kids. There are covered pavilions for picnics and reunions (must pre-book). The is a Memory Garden for quiet reflection (a great area to sit and read) with a man made waterfall to help cut some of the other park noises and provide some soothing sounds. There are over 7 km of walking and biking trails within the park and around an attached Conservation Area.

Tina Haight

Beautiful park and paths to take on the out skirts of it, nature at its finest????

steve wood

Sprawling park, bandshell, clean washrooms, tons of greenspace.

It was nice. Well done by the group in St Thomas tonight. The lights were great and the kids enjoyed seeing Santa Clause.

Derek

Best park around for sure. Tons of playground area, swings and a nice splash pad. Great place.

Victoria

Always so beautiful ????

Scott Tostik

I love this park any time of year. It's beautiful for all seasons of walking about. I highly recommend visiting it if you are in the area. The accompanying Shaw's Ice Cream booth located by the baseball diamonds in the rear section of the property is an amazing addition to the area. Nothing heats locally made ice cream on a hot day. Go to Pinafore Park you won't regret it!!!!

George Maurer

Lots of open space and shade. Good place to go and relax or participate in planned activities. It could use a splash pad and some place for adults to cool down when it gets really hot. They have pavilions that may or may not be in use. Don't remember seeing a fountain, so be sure to bring lots of liquid.

Steve Posthumus

Nice for a quick sit down supper, and the grounds crew was still busy working doing clean up and changing waste can bags. Thanks

Alessandra Enright

Amazing park, with many trails, parking, kids park, bandshell, and even covered areas for families of groups to gather in the summer.

Will Mepsted

Beautiful quiet clean Park. We had no parking problem, and the pavillion was large enough for our medium sized family and friends. Contruction in the area made accessibility tricky when we were there.

Andrew Smith

Very nice park. All the trails are open, except one that lead to the highway. Other then that I high recommend this park to runners, walkers or kids.

Sum Industrial Group

Always a great spot to take kids. Playground, park, trails, river, lake and amphitheater. Plenty of grass area and trees for picnics.

Chris S.' Projects/ C.E.S.

I went for a walk there recently in the daylight, and it was amazing! I never knew the times I played pickleball with my boyfriend, was at the courts here. This is a large park with more than you expect. Nice to discover. ;)

Leszek Przywara

What a gorgeous playground. It's worth driving down from London to visit this serene location. An abundance of activities for the little ones to interact with and play on. Plenty of paths leading into a forested area, walks by the river, garbage cans, benches, picknic tables, and free parking. Not to worry there is public bathrooms, swings and a splash pad. You can bet I will definitely come back here again.

Red Tripper

Wonderful park with everything one would need. Great place to catch a ball game, take a walk by the water or even occasionally catch an event at the Bandshell.

Ghalib Assaf

Great park for picnics and walks

Heidi Hering

Nicely maintained park with newly renovated trails Splash pad for the kids Waterfall garden display lite with a lovely light display at night Movie night in the park during summer weekends are viewed over at the bandstand which the whole family can enjoy. Don’t forget your blankets and bug spray Newly built bathrooms and a snack spot which serves ice cream and treats Baseball diamond for local baseball games Pet friendly and a great time outdoors for the whole family POKÉMON on site !! Haha ????

Brian Neufeld

Great park for rollerblading. walking, or cycling.

William Whitlock

got chased by bright green dogs running on 2 legs 10/10 would go again

Jennifer Gryn

Wonderful Family Park Lovely pathway through shady trees. Majority of the path is paved, excellent for wheels. Many benches and picnic tables. Lots of parking. Good spot to bring a lunch, have a stroll and relax in the shade. Very clean facilities. Playground is good for toddlers to larger kids. There is a splash pad. Good spot for photos.

Paul Graham

Great place for a light hike with kids. A nice playground and splash pad. There is also a nice small bandstand here. There are lots of fun events happening often at this park.

Paul McAllister

Great park with lots of space. The wooded trails are a nice peaceful walk as well.

Josie Elliott

Went for a walk, did some of the trails in the woods at the back of the park and found they lead to lake Margaret. Took a nice walk along the lake as well. Good for the kids and adults, clean paths and park.

Amanda Wilson

Always family friendly and a relaxing time. Beautiful trees on site and a dedication to people who have passed away on a tree wall. Amazing experience to walk over the bridge and look at the water!

Tish

This place is stunning, absolutely beautiful. When I was younger there used to be a deer here that would come right up to the fence by the play area and you could feed it. This place was my childhood. So many good wholesome memories here. We do family photos here often. This place is large and great for fishing and picnics. In the winter they pull out all the stops and have all these beautiful pieces and light fixtures on display if you have not been here I highly recommend it. Great place for the whole family at all times of the year.

Adam Smith

My family and I were there for family photos, and it was a perfect location, especially in the wooded areas. The grounds are well kept and is a beautiful place for pictures or going for a walk. The only downside is the amount of garbage strewn about. My only suggestion is to place more bins, especially in the wooded areas. Overall though, great place.

Lindsey Marr

Beautiful oasis in town. Saw a bunny and a deer this morning. It's a good day.

M Rebecca GV Choy-Heathorn

This is a Beautiful Park. Great for Photos and Splash pad in June. Winter time it’s nice also as it’s a different view. Christmas lights and displays by local businesses and Charities. Only place in St Thomas that have Tennis Courts. Check public use of court times before going to play. Have Fun!

Amy Peters

Beautiful and clean park for the whole family. Nice walking trails, playground and splash pad for kids, multiple pavilions for family picnics or events. Lots and lots of parking! Washrooms are great too!

Tim F

This park features large open grassy areas for large group or family picnics. Pavilions are free to the public or can be rented. A splash pad and new play equipment are the most popular features of this park. There is a bacci ball area, skate park and band shell. The municipality often hosts Christmas Lights from various businesses and community groups.

Johny Sanders (JohnySandels)

Nice park, smaller than expected, was only able to walk for about 10 minutes.

Danielle Thompson

Pinafore park is such a pretty park. It has a nice walking path, a playground, splash pad and through the summer it has various events that go on.

Canadian Adventures

Best park in St Thomas, I was really impressed

Doreen C

A very nice safe Park to take the kids to play. They've done a great job with the flowers and what a fabulous playground as an assortment of equipment they have for the kids

Rick Smith

Big beautiful park with lots to do and see. Recommend for all ages.

McFlight DG Productions

Beautiful park with a great play ground and splash pad for the kids. Very clean and updated washrooms. Gorgeous waterfall and walking bridge overlooking the pond.

Brenda Sh

Beautiful park any time of the year!

Stephanie Vinke

Pretty in the fall. Great place to take photos. Love that the splash pad is open whenever it is warm and never set to specific dates.

Alexandria Coyle

The park is always kept clean and has a beautiful waterfall and bridge area that is absolutely stunning to take a stroll through. They also have a nice well-kept park area with a smaller waterpark that’s great for children and is one of the highlights of St. Thomas!

Suryakant Patel

Very nice park. Nice to walk around and fun for children. Parking was not a problem. Due to construction, it's little inconvenience. Washrooms in the middle were well cleaned and maintained. Port a loo near play area is ok for emergency but shall have other nice washroom near play area or in other part of park as it's hard for elderly people to walk far distance to use washroom.

Johanna van Wyk

Always fun and relaxing there. A beautiful maintained park. Lots of trees and benches to sit most are donated in memory of a loved one. I like this idea as well as the memory walls. Such a great idea!. Great place for picnics and family photography. Love the trails around Lake Margaret that ends up in or start in this park.

Sonya Bennett

Lots to do for the family, whether you enjoy trail walking, time at the park or just a nice day of family picnic fun this is the place to be.

Al Hayes

Excellent park for kids. Big splash pad & a lot of picnic tables with a lot of shade. Only issue was the yellow jackets. Also has plenty of parking.

Sara Abdelkader

What a lovely park! I absolutely love this place. Actually all my family and friends do! There is a lot of activities for all the family there. When we went there was a nice cool concert that was very entertaining. The parking lot is very close to the swings, the covered picnic area and the washrooms. The washrooms are super clean and tidy! The trail next to the lake is amazing. Many places to sit in and have a lovely picnic. You have to visit this place at least once!

Allison Cuentas

I went to celebrate a birthday with my friend and it was an amazing place, the sad thing is that my little brothers couldn't play in the playground because it was closed.

Shirley's Adventure

I like this Park .beautiful scenery. Good for the kids too ,this is an splash pad,fishing and biking

Leslie Lumley

Every year brings something new to Pinafore, the splash pad being one of the best additions of late. My kids love playing on the equipment and in the splash pad. There are myriad things to do over the summer and quite a few at winter as well. Pinafore has been a fixture in my life for over 40 years, from watching the circus in Emslie Field to watching the fireworks on holidays, to Christmas lights (which I hope return soon!); Pinafore has it all!

pete b

Best Park to hang out and bike around the lake

Jenneke Luce

I've always loved pinafore park and the continued effort and care that they put into the park means my son gets to enjoy it too! Lovely trail to walk, and a great play area! My family also comes every year, and rents a pavilion for our family bbq!

Elio Campbell

Pinafore park is nature's best, from the well manicured landscape, garden arrangements, waterfall and the lush forestry coupled with it's all season maintained trails will definitely takes your breath away. Not to mention an array of wild animals such as deers, many bird species, a lake to fish, canoeing and a pond with turtles and several species of frogs, this is nature at it's best. Let's not forget the splash pad for kids and a newly renovated park that children will loose themselves playing all day. Pinafore park is truly an outdoor experience next to none!

Kevin McGuire

Our family frequents this park which is only a couple of blocks from Our home! Beautiful all the time and loads of space, New playground being built as I post this!

Dave Hunter

The drive thru Christmas parade was well done!! Entertaining seeing that you can't do much these days! Kids had a great time!!!

Jason Fournier

Beautiful park area but we visit for the playground/splash pad and they are both great. Lots of climbers and slides make it one of our top spots for play days/picnics. They also have a fun light display at Christmas time.

K S

The park is incredibly beautiful and well maintained by the city. We can feed squirrels, chipmunks, Bluejays, deer,..... all year round. But a major problem is that a lot of visitors use the back of the park for selling drugs, for racing their loud cars/pickups with huge mufflers and for making unnecessary noise. This destroys the friendly and old fashioned atmosphere in this place. Very sad to see !

Grambo !

Great park. Great place to walk, run or just be outside.

Nola Thompson

I love visiting Pinafore Park. It is a beautiful location for a family picnic. The walking paths are quite pretty and the play equipment and splash pad are excellent. The ice cream shop right there is a convenient stop for a sweet treat at the end of the day.

Jena Walters

So beautiful and well maintained. Whether you stay on the paved paths or venture into the wodded areas on the trails there is always something beautiful to catch your eye. I once even saw a newborn (maybe hrs old) deer. Its so nice to have such a beautiful piece of nature in the middle of our city.

Ryleigh Evelyn

Pinafore park is an amazing place. The playground and splash pad for the kids. The memory leaves and pravillions. It's just so beautiful. I would highly recommend to go there.

Corey McKechnie

Great park to take your kids out, nice paths for running or walking your pets.

Jeff Mitchell

Beautiful park with lots of space for walking/picnics and the like. My six year old daughter loves the play park, too!

Carol Gaigneur

Amazing!

Neb Boulianne

Clean and beautiful. Great spot for the family to spend a holiday Monday.

wendy barker

Splash pad and playground pretty good-wish they would have kept the animal area/habitat up and made it an even better exhibit

Jason Froude

Great place to bring small children or have a family picnic

mike mckinnon

Pinafore is one of the best features of st thomas. It's a huge park on the west end and well kept. Many events are held there every year. A great place for walking/running exercice, or just sit and enjoy the quietness.

Babak G

A great playground with new toys and complex plays for even teenagers, this park hands down is the best. Very clean, people are nice friendly and children are very careful with younger ones and always keep an eye for them.

Kaitie Sachade

Beautiful place for a short walk or picnic!

Kate Cormier

Lots of equipment, well cared for and so much fun for the family

Scott Giesbrecht

Plenty of places to play and explore. Lots of nice shaded spots for picnics with the kids.

Rebecca Northcott

What a beautiful place, great for a walk and share activities with your family. Beautiful waterfall and features. Love it especially in the fall.

Jon Kemp

Beautiful park in St Thomas. Lots of green space and trees for shade. Has a few covered picnic areas, and a giant splash pad. Fair amount of parking In different areas of the park. Well worth a visit, bring your lawn chair a good book and spend a few hours relaxing. You might even come across musicians playing.

Gautam Shiroya

Awesome place to get relaxed and for weekend.

Lynn Heffernan

Always has been a favorite park of young and old and I've now experienced it as a young and old person! Having grown up in St. Thomas and returned there over the years to visit family and friends. It's nice to see the park so beautifully maintained and developed to encourage continued use. Recently, I was there with three generations for Movie Night in the park. It was well attended and enjoyed by all. Well done, St. T!

Rodney Lover

Fantastic space for families - kudos to St Thomas for such a wonderful park

Wayne's erra F

Very quiet now that access has been impeded by construction! Also no lights after dark, I guess they're trying to tell us to go home! Lol oh also noticed all the garbage pails are turned upside down, what's up with that?

Jacquelyn King

Very nice park

Angela Dees

This park is exceptional - picnic pavilions, concert pavilion, splash pad for the kids, amazing pay equipment, hiking trails, river running alongside, bike rides.. Cant ask for anything nicer! Way to go St Thomas!

Sunny Chan

Played Pickleball there this afternoon and this evening. First class facility, nicely maintained. Lots of people there tonight, all courts were being used. People were very friendly and mixed and play, everyone was having a good time. Thanks to the local government of St. Thomas, built such fantastic facilities and provide all with healthy activity to all ages.

Amy Hodgson

The Park was BEAUTIFUL. We enjoyed a walk along the trails. ????❤???????? Wish there would have been more picnic tables out

A beautiful park with so much to offer! Small lake, bushland with a paved path that even a wheel chair can do a bush exploration. Playground and waterpark just refurbished and is fantastic. The open areas have great gardens and commemorative statues and a mixture of sun and shade. A public washroom and a several spacious picnic areas. Even on the hottest humid summer days there is generally a cooling breeze.

Always kept very clean, people keep their dogs on leashes and are very respectful! Beautiful place to just relax from life!

David Stubbs

A great place to being the kids Ona nice day

Sharon Nelson

Wonderful park, beautiful in the summer and so well kept. Great for entire family and the pets. Congratulations to all those who work so hard keeping it as peaceful and lovely as it is. Both winter and summer. Only complaint I have is the need for more picnic tables and benches.

tony hoffman

Great place to spend a few hours relaxing with the family. A pond to fish in, splash pad and play area for the kids as well as some nice picnic areas and pavilions. Lots of great events there throughout the summer

William Turner

Pleasant walk in the park.

Sarah Bechard

Visited with 4 young kids and 2 adults. We found the picnic pavilion to be very clean. Even though the play area and splash pad were very busy, it was very clean and looked to be well taken care of. We had a great time!

Sarah Dawdy

Can do just about anything here. Park, slash pad, trails, Geocaching & non motorized water activities

Hunter Payne

It doesn't take much to see St. Thomas isn't always a good place to live. But this park is beautiful and its a diamond in the rough. Great to see St. Thomas so well taken care of.

Amanda Goodwin

Kids always love a trip to the park. Lots of options for playing, walking or just enjoying the scenery. It's home to swans, geese, and other waterfowl. Trees looks beautiful in the autumn. It's nice and clean and there are portapotties at the playground (that don't stink!)

Dennis Morwood

Great place to let the kids run around

RawForm - BLUE

Very open, great for dogs. Water park and play area. Suited best for 5+ because of the spacing on the equipment! There is a spinning jungle gym as well and trails through the forest to the lake for a lovely family walk :)

Beautiful Park, well cared for and the city is always doing upgrades or maintenance to make sure it is safe and accessible to all . Just this year they rebuilt the main washrooms to make them more handicapped friendly . It even offers a small nature trail at the rear of the park.

One of the best park so far I have visited. Nice structures, paths for walk, kids area, big pavilions for arranging get together. HIGHLY recommended. Must visit on way to Port Stanley beach. ????????

Kathie Van Wieren

Lovely park to sit on benches and share a coffee with a friend. Wonderful splash pad for kids. Memory walls near entrance well designed and thoughtful. Great park for walking, too

Jennifer Van Beest

Excellent family park. Great splash pad and kid friendly climbers. Lots of grass space for picnics

Mirta Lawrence

Pinafore Park is a great spot to meet with family ,girlfriends, guy friends,or plan a birthday gathering. Lots for the kiddies to do too.

Nik Shenoy

Great park with beautifully manicured grounds, unique trees, water, splash pad and playground for the kids and pavilions that are great for group picnics. New washroom facilities are top notch.

Larry Cook

The park is awesome with a great playground for the children and spots for every family function you can imagine . But with the Elm St. Construction going on it would be better to open up the ballpark for traffic going in and out.

Dustin Birch

Best park in the london and surrounding area. Excellent and wheelchair accessible bathrooms. The playground is great for the kids and so is the splash pad. Good picnic facilities. The gardens are always well done and the water feature at the parks entrance is very nice. This park is a weekly trip for our family as the kids love many aspects of the park.

This is a beautiful park picturest trees and landscape. Only problem bathroom facilities are inadequate especially in winter ...Hydro scarce for those wanting to plug in crock pots to keep food warm warm while kids are playeding. Water scarce as well... Almost like the city is too cheap. Parks employees look like they are high school drop outs...That will police you for what you throw in a trash can. Although it is a pretty park..It ia a poor excuse of a park to promote tourism

Leanne Versteegen

This is a beautiful clean park to visit. A great area for kids to play with a splash park included. Although, currently the kids play equipment is under construction and blocked off for improvements. It was nice to be able to find a permanent picnic table to eat at. Usually visit this park a few times during the year in the nice weather.

Bob Chapman

Good day to go for a walk in the parks trails that are always kept clean and clear

Ian Papatzimas

Amazing park, lots of open green space, multiple pavilions and lots of picnic tables

Dawn Schmidt

Love this park. Pavillion. Picnic tables. Lots of space. Kids play area and splash pads are fantastic. The bathrooms are second to none!

Karlita Perez

Lovely park, for a picnic or a walk. Not too many parking spots, and I don't think it would be as nice if it got too crowded.

mitesh patel

One of best park for picnic

Brandon McDade

Great park. Even just for walking. If from out of town totally worth checking it out

Sue-Hee Kim

It was busier than I've ever seen this week (phase 3 opening), but the park is so large my toddler and I barely felt it. The new park upgrades are really great for the kids, some things I've never seen at a kids park before, my son's 27 months and his mind was blown. Lots of tables and places to sit. We went in the morning around 1030am and again with his 9mth old brother around 430pm, it was busy but lots of parking still. I wish there was a place to park our strollers and pushers. But well worth the trip.

Alan V

Had our daughters 2nd birthday party here. Great place to host at an inexpensive rate with a splash-pad to top it all off!

I love it here. Lived in a lot of places, will always want to come back to St.T and this park

Cindy Tweedie

Park is always clean. Well kept gardens.

Pinafore Park is one of the best features of St. Thomas. The park is large with areas for almost any type of recreation. There is a baseball diamond, playgrounds, splash pads, trails, and many great gardens in this park. It borders a large pond which is great for fishing and watching wild fowl. Within the last ten years they added a memory garden to where you can relax and remember your loved ones which have passed away. The picnic pavilions and concession stand have been recently updated, and the park looks clean fresh and inviting, Great for a relax-full stroll, a picnic by the pond, or letting the kids run.

Michael Johnson

Great place for family fun. U will enjoy.dont say I didn't tell you

Shirl Miller

This is a beautiful park. Set up perfectly for all different occassions, whether it includes kids or seniors that want to be far away from kids!

Patti Ham

One of my favourite parks in St Thomas. Lots to do.

T H

Huge park, very beautiful, has some nice displays and a cue bridge that overlooks a pond and a little waterfall on its other side. Wonderful place for a picnic

Julie Pinnegar

Love Pinafore! Lots of shade and green space, paths for walking, picnic tables for meals, and lovely play equipment, swings, and splash pad for the kids!

Cathy Crocker

Pinafore Park is the perfect place for a barbeque, a walk in nature, or catch and release fishing. This park, with its numerous trails and lakes, is vast and relaxing.

Ryan Frostad

Scenic peaceful park in the city. Great for running, walking, biking or if you have kids there is a nice playground for them. Well maintained and they have events like a classic car show, music shows and Canada Day Fireworks in the summer. Think of springbank park in London but on a much smaller, less crowded scale.

Margaret Donaldson

Amazing place to relax, walk and get away. The only draw back is that when they put in the new equipment they lowered the swings

Robin Loader

A beautiful peaceful park and very quiet while we were there.

vince jonathan

Awesome place to relax, has a splash pad for the kids and plenty of gardens with picnic tables for family outings.

Fredrick Smith

Beautiful spot. Excellent tennis courts. (Full sized and 1/2 sized for kids) Big baseball diamond. Many covered areas to eat or take shelter)

Bez Peters

This “Park” is LE-GIT!! Many highlights, but here’s a few: -They have EIGHT tennis courts, plus EIGHT pickleball courts, in a massive, fenced in, divided up, brand new cement, benches everywhere, space! ???? For a family that loves their pickleball, this was a gem to find!! -There’s a huge baseball diamond with the biggest bleachers I’ve seen around (and my husband plays a lot of baseball.) -A large play ground for kids, with a few different play sets, and a splash pad. ???? -There are pavilions EVERYWHERE!! Some with a few picnic tables, others with ~10 or so picnic tables. Some even have an area to hook up a BBQ, etc. -There are walking paths, bridges, lovely gardens, and even a little lake (or two) right there! And I still have so much more to explore!!

Ess U

Lovely park. Splash pad and playground (open again) are always busy with kids!

Michelle Rickard

Beautiful well kept park. I've rented a pavilion before and staff consistently came to check if we needed anything. We enjoy the water park and tennis courts as well

Jennifer Neate

Lovely place to go for a walk and enjoy nature at it best. They have a fantastic play park and water park for the children in your life! Pet friendly ♡

Sydney Cheverie

Always clean. The squirrels are cute, good place to see some wildlife like deer, geese, ducks and swans and of course tons of squirrels. Nice place to fish and go for walks.

Kennedy Hollister

Beautiful park well maintained , nice trails, fun for all ages

Sue St. Gelais

mustafa

It is really wonderful and very clean , and there is a lot of activity to do , walking and splash for the kids ,

Jerry Fortin

This park is beautiful! Love walking through the paths, brings back wonderful memories for me! So picturesque!

Raymond Usvultas

Loved it. A place you can go for a brisk walk around. Daily 7 days a week. Relax under a tree with a good book on a sunny day. Listen to music from the dome stage. Have your kids use the splash pads on hot sunny days. Enjoy ice cream. From the pavilion. Have special events. In winter. Just drive around enjoy the festival of lights. Enjoy the largest park in St. Thomas.

Andra Cutway

It's nice that we have a Park that is clean and well kept. I do enjoy walking and it's a nice meeting place to keep a safe distance from others at the same time being friendly and welcoming to others. Great job guys keeping pinafore in tip top condition. ????
