Its pristine, clean rapidly running waters & surrounding park

Ashleigh Cummer

We love taking our kids to this park particularly now with the updated play structures. Nice paths and fun place to cool down in the summer.

Jason Hansen (Cowtown Raider)

One of the best spots for a dip in the river. Current in the middle can be a bit strong so weak swimmers need to be aware. Usually lots of parking, but can be busy on hot days

Caiman

Nice park on our way back home.

The park is beautiful and calm but it does get busy in the summer. I have done tubing and walking my dogs in this park.

Burton Wei

A great place to take a break from the city. There is a playground for the little ones, a couple of easy trails, and a bench or two by the Creek.

Elaine Brown

Beautiful park to walk through. In the fall it is easy to see salmon in the water. Paths are well maintained. There are some stairs involved. There is a small parking lot.

Judy Bood

Beautiful trails with the Puntledge River running along side. It opens up into a nice grassy area with a playground and some benches facing the river.

Laura Isaacs

Beautiful forest trails and salmon in the river. Playground is in a very sunny spot. Trees and river nearby and trees plantes for shade in years to come but currently the play structure bakes on sunny days.

Great place to go for a short convenient walk in the woods, very pretty!

Suzanne Gravelle

Great for kids

Vivek Alby

The place is really good for a swim. The current here might get a little strong sometimes so, it is recommended to have a proper safety gears. The water is crystal clear and the place is surrounded by huge trees. I loved it there.

Ron Thompson

Just sit and watch the Salmon swimming upstream through falls, head up a few miles to the hatcher and watch them come up the ladder.

Selby Props

It's got trees and such

Amie Loxton

Nice equipment and trails. Lots of access to the river . Good skipping stones too!

Paul Sture

One of the best parks to put your tube in the river to tube down the river to Lewis Park.. Also a nice swimming hole with a beach and cliffs for jumping off etc... It floods during the fall and winter and its fun to see the Salmon swimming where you were walking a week or two before....lol

Nick “Nickname” Name

Great swimming holes.

Michael Silvius

Good park for a hot summer day with family

David Jenkins (GL00M)

Daryl Uhrin

If it's on the island it's beautiful

Bill heinrick

Beautiful park nice swimming and gorgeous walking trail

Owen Stevens

It's a pretty nice place

D Dasilva

I grew up swimming in this river. Nice little rapids and a slight brisk current, also the current is slow in spots for kids to have fun. The trails are perfect for a quick dog walk. Or escape the heat in the summer. Very shady in the trees. Gets really busy in the summer. Do not take valuables to the river as a rule. Restrooms are above the park in the parking lot. Salmon spawning season is stinky but fascinating. Education for the kids.. There were dinosaur bones found in this river of an entire dinosaur. Also a basic playground for all ages to swing and slide ????

Brad M

Beautiful quiet spot to enjoy life

Kraig Gallivan

Nice small, short, trail along the river. Easily accessible to all ages and abilities. Might see kayakers float by, or large fish swimming up river. The only thing it lacks is a standout scenic point. Walking along the river is decent but there isn't really a spot that is remarkably distinct.

howie knodel

Most dogs on leach

Pierre Rainville

Great place for a swim on a hot summer day

Pmason 7145

The fish were jumping along with those going up to spawn and hiding behind a log across the river just so happen to be a bear waiting for his supper to be caught by one of the fisherman.

Eliza Haugrud

Beautiful place to hang out by the river and go for a walk. Have also seen people fly fishing

Rob

Beautiful place to relax or for a short walk.

Vernon Brewster

Great walk.

griselda davila

Amazing place to go with family and friends

James Charles -Roberts

Good playground for the kids, was great swimming in the river, Rock pools safe for kids to paddle on the edge of the river, walking trails, great spot

Whitney Biden

Calm, peaceful and beautiful

norene wells

You can swim against the current like in a real wave pool. You can suntan on the beach. In Fall you can see the Salmon Run.

Al right

Must go. At the top of my list. Jumping from a huge rock, play with the kids at the park. Enjoy a nice walk along the river.

Izzy Hammond

Great for tubing in the summer!

Sheila P

Excellent river side park. Trails, bridges, and play structure for kids. Swimming in the summer. Fishing too!

Taylor Holbrook

Beautiful scenery!

Josh Whincup

Fantastic place to go and enjoy a hot summer day. Family areas for less experienced swimmers and areas with a strong current to ride down either just with the current or on tubes. If you're in the valley in the summer highly recommend, bring a way to throw away your garbage though.

jerrit onley

Beutiful walk, great for the kids . river is awsome . nothing bad about this park

Will Hunter

Great small park. Good for ???? and jumping off the rock into the river. Rocky beach so water shoes are a big help.

Robert Boyer

Great salmon fishing.

Sushistew

Swim in the summer. Playground for kids nice lil walking area

Russell James

Nice park. There are fossils in the river as well. Used to eat my lunch here when I was working.

Beth Anderson

This place was beautiful! Lots of shore to set up on along the river. Nice and clean. The current wasn't too strong, but you definitely want to be within arms reach of younger kids or weak swimmers. We spent our time walking them upstream a few yards then floating slowly downstream. Some one had made a square current-free "toddler" pool with rocks.

Phil Le Vesconte

Great place to hang out!!

Matthew Skalik

Awesome place to hang out on a hot summer day. The are calm areas, small rapid areas and a jumping location. Very popular with tubers. Lots of fun in mid-August when the salmon run returns.

Blaine McMillan

Take time to take a walk and relax. All dogs must be leashed.

Jeremy White

The best thing Courtenay has going for it. Please dont sell this to build homes.

James Bytelaar

A nice clean river area for tubing, swimming and relaxing. Some areas get pretty deep and the current is stronger in the deep water so it is a better place for people who know how to swim well. It's dog friendly which is a ++++!

Lovely place for young families.

Best swimming hole in the entire river. It's easy to get to, deep parts to swim in, rocks to jump off. Current is swift if you're not a strong swimmer.

Great place to come and cool off on a hot day, the current can carry you down or you can swim in one spot as if swimming in an infinity pool ????

Kalenna “Wolfgyrrl” DuBois

It's beautiful and peaceful ????

Jon Spade (JonSpade)

The cycle of life...surreal place.

Great playground with scenic trails. One if the best places to swim during the summer. The salmon run here during the fall and in the winter the park tends to flood after heavy rains - but the main trail is usually clear and accessible all year round.

J Reid

Great for children. It could use am adult park there as well.

Peatr Lorian

Amazing local community park on the Puntledge River. Great place for picnics and river swims. New playground is a favourite for our kiddo.

Catherine Anfield

Beautiful!

Nadun Alwis

One of best park in BC

Amanda Williams

Playground with infant and normal swings, an okay sized field for a picnic or flying a kite, and great place for swimming with change rooms available in the Summer. We like the trail that does a nice loop around, with less groomed trails if you want to take a short cut. A great place to cool down on a hot day!

Greg Pelt

Great place, plus tubing down the river...

Jennifer Nowell

Great playground for school age kids nice green space and trails to let little ones ramble through. Watch out for all the off- leash dogs using the park as their toilet.

This is a great park to bring the kids to swim, jump into, or just splash in the water. There are changerooms and washrooms up on the road and they are generally very clean. There are also biking and walking trails as well as a playground.

Nice park that has a river where you can fish for salmon depending on the time of the year. The paths where nice with some wooden bridges and a nice walk through the forest. The River was nice to see and listen too. There were people fishing along the river while I walked around. The place was nice and peaceful. There was a person in an electric scooter going around too so some parts where easy to get to and move around.
