Reviews of Harbourside Park (Park)

Sanuda Ranawake

It's a lovely place that reminds us of both the beauty of St. John's and the amazing history behind this place. It's never crowded and offers amazing views during day or night. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants some time to enjoy without too much of a crowd around.

St John's NL .Over looking the city from signal hill.The first thing you notice when you get on top of Signal hill is the vast advantage point the British had with this fortification at top the hill.This would have protected the city immensely.The view is vast in almost every direction for miles around.In a aria gone by to see any merchant ships approaching the harbour was important,with this sighting merchants were able to get to the docks and unload their merchandise.,important then as is to day.

Just awesome, amazing and very beautiful place for visiting. It has a very charming natural beauty. You can sit here and watch the beauty of mighty Atlantic ocean with the dance of flying seagulls. You will love this place. This place is beyond any review.

Krista Pynn

Was there at night so I could see all the lights across the harbour. Was very accessible and so relaxing to hear the water lapping against the dock.

My favourite place to sit with a coffee on a Sunday morning.

Nice history side

Matt Perry

We attended the Memorial Ceremony on July 1 2018. This is a beautiful and well maintained park in the heart of downtown St. John's. There is excellent views of the harbor from this vantage point

Beautiful place to sit and relax!

Its lovely and peaceful, a spot of greenery in the middle of downtown. Its got storyboards of history, a beautiful view of the harbour, its accessible, and it has two statues, one of a Newfoundland dog and the other of a chocolate lab, our provincial dogs. Kids love to play on them! Beautiful gardens during the summer.

Great park to relax, look at the parked ships, the hill and water. The Labrador statues are here. It's a small but cozy park. Very inviting and peaceful. Perfect grabbing a cup of coffee and checking out the view.

Jillian R: she-they

Beautiful view of the harbour.

When you find yourself in St.John's site seeing we recommend you take time to check this park. Located by the water and has alot of historic information about the harbour and the city. Good landscaping and sculptures to enjoy, bench seats to relax and watch ships coming and going.

Ron Mosocco

The sights and sounds of the lovely St. John's, Newfoundland. This is a great place to visit with beautiful views of the Harbour. The history of the city is displaced all around. Statutes are here honoring the famous Ladador Retriever and Newfoundland dogs as well!

Saleh Rogers

Nice place

Justin Murphy

I like to walk downtown with my dog especially in the summer. I start at the opposite end of this park. I walk the entire stretch, and grab a sandwich. Stop into the pet stop and head to this area. I don't consider it a park. But a great place to sit in the grass and enjoy a small lunch.

Prasoeur Suon

Fresh air, clean, very good vibe!!!!

Sebastian Kluth

Harbourside is Saint John's most stunning park. On the north side, you have an impressive war memorial. On the south side, you have a view of the harbour and statues of Newfoundland and Labrador dogs.

Richard Clark

A good place to start your exploration of St John's. Nice view of Signal Hill (if there's no fog) and plenty of information on the history of the area.

John Fralick

A lot of nice scenery from there excellent in the morning

It is Okey

Its a relatively small area. Especially compared to what I am used to in Halifax. But it was peaceful and quiet (unlike Halifax), with great views of the harbour, and many memorials, and displays such as the bronze statue and historic write-up display of the beloved "Newfoundland Dog". With so much waterfrontage, I was surprised at how little the city has allocated for public use.

Leszek Marcinkowski

nice but very small

Master iOqY

Well-designed parkette offerings views of the narrows with historical and informative plaques of St. John's and Newfoundland. The 1.5x life-sized statues of the 'Newfoundland' and 'Labrador' Retriever looking out to sea was very well done and a delight for kids and adults alike to climb on.

Judee Doyle

Nice and open park. Great views of ocean.

Cory Williams

Lovely place...

Kevin W

Beautiful

Brent

Includes moving tributes to soldiers, cool statues of Newfoundland dogs, and a great view of the ships docked along the harbour.

Tom Williams

Beautiful park for a concert

Brian Hatcher

Small green space in east end of downtown St. John's. Sports a great view of The Narrows looking out to open ocean. Able to sit in the many park benches and view the south side of Signal Hill. Park often attracts musical acts and other small venues during. Directly across from the War Memorial its worth a visit especially during warmer weather.

Life is Better On Vacation

We enjoyed our ice cream from the Newfoundland Chocolate Factory in the park. You can watch the activity in the harbour from here. We liked the Newfoundland and Labrador dog statues. We were later surprised to see a matching pair of dog statues outside the GEO Centre as you head up Signal Hill.

Rick Barnes

Live music - live gulls! Million dollar view - all free.

Sascha Guenther

Nice area to sit down for a break, wish it had more benches in the shade

Elise Barrie

Cute mini park; perfect for a touristy photoshoot with the Narrows in the background. A few broken fixtures, but they have ramps to make it more wheelchair accessible which is good.

Jennifer Tulk

Great visit, took in a show

Malcolm Graham

Beautiful park and very informative plaques.

Bob Mahon

Great place to start your downtown walk.
