Good ,but a lot of room for improvement , Jungle gym and free bbq points are not just enough every other thing is natural what is the input from Irving.
A beautiful place to enjoy the out doors.
The Irving Nature Park is a beautiful location! It has great places to walk and explore. The trails are very clear and clean. Many of the trails are great for jogging and if you just wish to enjoy the views by car, during the summer you can do that as well. There are also some beautiful beaches which showcase the powerful Fundy tide. I highly recommend this exceptional location though I do need to advise anyone that the road can be in rough condition depending on the time of year.
Very nice trail and beach!
One of my very favourite places in the area. Great walk, lots of trails and beaches to explore.
Loving nature
Great place to hike. Great views, lots to see and explore. Beaches, trees, nature.
nice beach, clean. a bit chilly today. nice to a beach which allow people's pets! They should get a food truck in there!
Very picturesque!
The park is quite beautiful in the summer and still very enjoyable and peaceful in the winter ! The only thing I would change is pave the road that people drive in on and park their cars, then they wouldn't have to constantly resurface it and it wouldn't be so harsh on suspension at the times they haven't gotten to it . Great place to come have a family bbq or any type of celebration really. Plenty of wonderful trails to hike , and many animals to spot
Great spot for a nice walk or a hike.
Quite nice for a municipal hiking park. Doesn't meet the same standards as Fundy National Park though.
Great coastal hiking. Don't forget Sheldon Point Trail by the barn on the left before arriving at the main park.
An ocean side nature park with many walking trails. See a salt march on one side of the island and the ocean on the other. A great way an Irving company is giving back to it's home city.
Great place for photography and friends.
One of my favourite places to be.
Amazing nature ... good for families as well . Our son enjoyed it
A must visit in SJ.
Wonderful place! We had such a great time hiking through the park and enjoyed the steep clifs and gorgeous vistas!
Beautiful place to go close to the city
Great walking beach, great walking trails and beautiful scenery.
Had an awesome walk with a friend around the Nature Park.
Great place to spend time with nature
Beautiful and so close to Saint John
Great single track for running.
Greta place for easy and moderate hiking. You can visit for an hour, or a day. Great place to bring your dog, and enjoy some views with the family.
Very neat spot for Snow Shoeing, Hiking, Biking, Picnics, BBQ's..check out the Irving Childrens forest on the right just before Saints Rest Beach.
Beautiful spots and trails. Don't forget to take some nuts for squirrels with you :)
Great trails and amazing views
fantastic
Greatest saint john gem around!
You could spend a day at the Beautifully preserved Irving Nature Park. Go for a nice relaxing walk on the groomed walking trails, Go off trails to the foot paths to the most beautiful scenic areas of the Park. Take a picnic, pack a lunch, go site seeing and exploring. I found that the best time to see porpoise out in the bay was when the park first opens. I will make many more trips back to this beautiful Park.
Outside nature walk was so nice!
Nice nature park with multiple options and areas to explore. Some great views.
This is a great place to go for a nature walk and to walk the dog. Keep a strong grip on the leash though because there are a lot of squirrels and a few porcupines and the dog occasionally darts after them :)
An amazing park with free propane grills for BBQs, Say what you will about Irving, this is a great example of giving back
Haven't been to the park in a few years since we moved away from Saint John and forgot what a treasure it is. Walked the complete perimeter trail and enjoyed every minute of of it. The trail continues to be impeccably maintained complete with the barbecue area on the north side of the penisula.
Nice spot for everyone to enjoy the outdoors
Perfect place to enjoy the seaside You can drive, walk, run, ride bike, and BBQ Perfect for individual and family The free BBQ equipments are clean and reliable
The Irving Nature Park boasts splendid views of the ocean, Arboreal forest, and marshy areas with long slender boardwalks. It is one of my favourite natural wonders in the Saint John Regional area to visit! Sunshine or dense majestic mist, this place is a natural wonder for both tourists and locals to explore. A must see!
Very nice place to hike
Fantastic place to go for a relaxing walk. Plenty of wildlife, and sometimes even beautiful rocks somebody's hidden:)
Awesome park
Pretty
Beautiful place to take in the sights, smells and sounds of nature.
A nice park with free BBQ facilities. I must visit it again
A real Hidden Gem in the middle of Saint John. I encourage everyone to visit, it has spectacular scenery.
Take the big trail walking as close of the water as possible!
Favourite place to walk. Always beautiful.
Awesome place.
Great place for rock picking. Children's Forest nearby.
Very nice nature.
Beautiful park for walking, jogging, and even some light hiking. Great scenic views, plenty of restrooms, parking and picnic areas.
As green as like me. Nice place to hang out with family and friends!!!
Beautiful area
Perfect bird spot.
Well maintained trails. A bit muddy at times.
Beautiful place, great for taking the dog on a nice run. Good for watching nature and plenty on places to just sit and relax on the waters edge.
Sweet spot, again the difference between low and high tide is so very noticeable. Nice beach for a walk.
One of the best natural nature parks I have ever been to. So well taken care of. The picnic area with propane BBQ was incredible. Although we didn't use them. Loved the walk around the entire place. The lookout we're beautiful. Thankyou
An amazing place for a stroll, hike or picnic.
The Irving nature park is a beautiful spot for picnics, walking the trails or enjoying the beaches. You will often spot wildlife like chipmunks, deer, porcupines, cranes, seals and foxes. Just a short drive from city centre and just off the highway; this is a cherished spot by locals and tourists alike. If walking the main road around the park, expect it to take about an hour and twenty minutes (with no stops) but you could easily enjoy the entire day here if you wanted to enjoy the trails, beaches and more.
Love this place has many trails and nature walks and views had a blast here with the family good place to get out and get some family time in Beautiful Park and has lots to do For adults and kids.
We just went on one trail and it was great. Would definitely go back and check out the other trails.
(Translated) Beautiful discovery. Everything is in order, everything is clean. The kids loved it. Too bad there is no normal toilet, the chemical toilet is not great ... (Original) Belle découverte. Tout est en ordre, tout est propre. Les enfants ont adoré. Dommage qu'il n'y ait pas de toilettes normales, les toilettes chimiques c'est pas top...
Great place to spend an afternoon walking the beaches and enjoy the nature of the various lookouts and trails
Great for hiking , bbq with family, watch the waves come crashing in and nice walking trails....
A beautiful park. I was really impressed about the BBQ area. I never saw such a well taken care of BBQ grills. Clean and gas provided. Thank you.
Sooooo clean and well maintained. Beautiful spot!
Nice place to walk the dog
This is truly a treasure in New Brunswick. Great beaches, on a hot day Cool Breeze off the Bay of Funday. Easy Drive through wooded section with some nice scenic stop and view. If you haven't been there take the opportunity to pack a lunch and go enjoy some of New Brunswick wonderful nature.
I love it because i have lots of nice family memories and BBQ suppers and i lived that place.
So much to do and views to see. a few different trails to choose from. Even some for kids. And a labyrinth too!
Beautiful
Great trails and scenery.
Great hikink and views for adults, children's forest for kids, a lot of fun in the maze for both.
A great place to enjoy nature close to home.
Great place to picnic and hike. Awesome views!
Great location to spend an evening with family.
Wonderful place, excellent way to get into nature. We've seen deer, porcupines, black squirrel and lots of different birds.
Beautiful!!
Beautiful trails inside the city!
Here is very nice and quiet, there is a playground new and a labyrinth of bushes. Only need toilets new.
Not good. Washroom facility is really bad.
Saint John's hidden gem!! One of the highlights of our annual trip out East every year. Scenery is stunning and it never feels over crowded and is the very opposite of pretentious. Our kids love walking the beaches, picking up shells/rocks and just sitting on a beach blanket. Highly, highly recommended destination for anyone visiting the area.
Awesome place, I always come here when I'm in SJ.
Unexpected great stop for a warm afternoon. Children loved the beach and playground. Also took pleasant walk in the woods.
Beautiful get away
Awesome place, I always come here when I'm in SJ.
Beautifully well kept. Roads well maintained after such a harsh winter. Park activities are well organized and staff are super friendly and knowledgeable!
Great trails, easy walking, biking, jogging
Great trail system
Loved it here seeing the ocean for the first time in my life
So beautiful to visit during all the seasons :) highly recommend
Amazing place
Great place to go for a walk, run!!
Beautiful, breathtaking sights.
I LOVE going walking/hiking through the trails! It's a good long walk, and if you get bored easily then you can walk in the woods on the little foot paths they have set up. The foot paths are awesome! They have wood paths (little bridges) where its wet and swampy so you dont get in the water, and they have lots of wildlife to keep you entertained! Always a beautiful place ! Even in the rain/fog!
Beautiful
Set aside by the Irving family this beautiful natural protected area has walking trails, beach access, mature forest and ample parking. Well known site throughout the province.
Great place to enjoy nature.
Beautiful park
Overall a good park and the scenery is worth a visit. I would recommend some better workmanship on the gravel road which could use improvement. Good local park.
Great place to get out for a hike lots of nice views. Be sure to bring along some sunflower seeds and peanuts as the chickadees and squirrels are very tame. They will eat right from your hand.
The views! The views!!!
What a beautiful spot on NB to visit. So clean and well respected area. Great place to bring your family including your pets. Must see!
First time hiking at this nature park. We did the Seal trail, connecting to Heron trail, then looped back through Deer trail and back down Seal. With 2 boys aged 6 & 8, we did this in 2 hours. It was truly breathtaking! Seal trail leads you around the marshy areas of the park, then as you continue on to Heron, you get to see craggy sea coves with will, rocky beaches. We felt like we were on Vancouver Island! At the southernmost point, we sat on the rocks looking out at the expanse of Fundy, with tanker ships off in the distance. As we would back, we enjoyed seeing the different beaches, sea birds and kept an eye out for seal and dolphin, which we were told sometimes make an appearance during low tide (we didn't see any that day) We were surprised that such spectacular views and oceanside hiking was within St. John, and free, too. We will definitely be back to hike the other trails!
Only 1 thing to do there. Walk around and enjoy the beauty of nature. You can walk around or drive the little over 6km trail. The boardwalk is nice as well.
Great place to take the kids and get out for fresh air.
Get back to nature, on foot or a slow crawl in the car
Great place for a bbq we had a bbq for True Life church here. Even though it rained it was a great day. My family drove around the perimeter and enjoyed the scenery from the comfort of our car.
Amazing park, clean, good for the family. Makes a great day trip.
Fantastic trails. Great for any fit type. Swim in the ocean if you like. Surprising section of bird houses along the small trail I took. Well taken care of.
My favorite spot for hikes and ocean!!
Love it
Very nice walking paths.
So peaceful
Wonderful views even with dreary fog like conditions.
I have never seen a place like this. You drive 4 KM in a jungle at a low speed and stop to see these beautiful views on your way to complete this loop.
Beautiful hiking paths and an amazing beach. Loved every second of it.
Perfect place to enjoy with friends and family In summer always have b.b.q with my friends
Excellent trail. For the non enthusiasts you can literally drive into the trail and see nature. Beautiful views , had a great time
Lovely place to visit. Great walks on the trails through the woods. You can also choose to drive. A lovely beach to walk as well. Gorgeous views and a great time!
Another amazing walk today ... LOVE this park ... !!!
Gorgeous park and a must see in Saint John
Beautiful
Nice Beach , free to public and has trails.
Best Park in saint john
Great place for families. There are trails and a cool playground with a maze.
(Translated) There is a waterfall and trail, which is great, (Original) 有个瀑布和trail, 非常棒,
A wonderful park. Nice BBQ area, playground, a beach ... But the washrooms are very bad.
This part is a gift. Thank you Irving!
The landscape view in the park on summer are perfect.
While passing through the area, our innkeeper at Fundy Heights B&B strongly encouraged us to visit here while. So glad we did. We went there after dinner and were lucky enough to enjoy the sunset. The views and photographic opportunities were fabulous. Watching the sunset while hearing the steady surf on the rocks behind us was memorable. Definitely worth making the time to visit.
Great place to walk the dog
Don't overlook Saint John, there's a lot of beauty in this city. This is a fine example
The only words that come to mind...simply stunning!
It's definitely the go to place to get away from the not so beautiful city. Not far away and totally a different experience.
Should have a canteen or restaurant...
Great spot with easy access and trails / roadways for all skill levels & accessability.
Many mosquitoes
Great place to watch the Bay of Fundy. Nice little trails.
Saw a porcupine. Great views. Some wildlife.
Great park for the whole family. Playground and mazes for the kids and long walks for the parents. Beautiful view and great idea!
Great park, mazes and beaches all close to downtown Saint John.
Beautiful beach
Very well maintaine, staff are super friendly
Amazing refuge, very close to town
Fun place to take your little ones
My dog Gracie and I always have a blast when we go here. We love meeting new people also enjoying the beautiful park. There are many different trails for all different types of people. You will often see wildlife such as deer, porcupines, and squirrels enjoying the park as well. We are always bringing people with us to hang out and walk through this gorgeous little spot.
Beautiful views and awesome walk
It's a nice little park, with good views, and it's nice to just get away from the big part of the city sometimes.
Beautiful place
Great place to get exercise and fresh air. Walk the trails or the beach.
It's always kept clean. Very pretty trails
Love going here with the family
Clean. Was a super windy and cold day. The waves were huge and amazing to watch.
Was a lovely walk
Great Park with nice hiking trails, great views and good services. Don't miss the viewing plattform in the middle. Stinging together all trails leaves you with an 8km / 2h hike.
Easy trails of varying distances with great views and picnic areas throughout. You can also drive the perimeter to various outlook spots if walking is difficult.
Take a drive around the road, there are several places to stop and get out for a look around.
Super nice place for a walk. Well kept area on the roads and the trails.
Very nice
Great place to walk
Great experience. Great landscape. Great time.
For the most part, except first 100m its easy walking. Good paths/roads. Huge area with a variety of foliage and animal life. Good for pictures and walking the dog. A must visit, regularly, or a leg stretch passing thru.
I've spent alot of time here as a young man. Still beautiful as I remember it to be after all these years.
Love coming here with the kids
This is a well laid out park. Great place for the whole family.
It is a peaceful ealk on the Beach Lisyen to the Waves Chillaxen
Fun family hike!
This place is a gem! The children's forest features two living Cedar hedge mazes as well as a playground. The playground has an age-segregated portion dedicated to the smaller children. No one is overrun. Of course, the walking trails are excellent and offer views of the diverse environs. From marshlands, to woods, to dramatic coastal vistas, it's all there. A must-visit.
Busy place, bring insect repellant.
Amazing! Loved it.
The park is well maintained with great signage and walking trails. We walked along the Bay of Fundy shoreline and while rocky, was a great view and expansive beach. There is a kids playground that was busy and a fantastic maze for kids. Highly recommend spending an hour at the Nature Park.
Beautiful, peaceful .
Beautiful park to walk!!! I Enjoy walking / running and snowshoeing!! My dogs love the beach!!
A nature getaway so close to the city.
Eat pizza, and let granddaughters play in new play ground.
Beautifully maintained
Great park with lots of scenic views
Great park! Irving not so great...
Amazing park! So much to do there. Hiking biking walking driving. Many beaches. Found lots of sea glass. Way too much branding.
Love this place
Beautiful trails.
Well marked and skillfully made walking trails make this a great place to walk in all weather. We got caught in a little rain but there are several nice structures for shelter in this is generously designed and maintained place. Don't miss the luxuriously wide Boardwalk out over the marsh which is made to accommodate wheelchairs. This is the only Boardwalk I have ever encountered which does, and offers accessibility to the fascinating world out in the marsh.
I Like is place beucese It's beautiful place thay have mony tree, thay have mony wood to go anywhere and thay have a parking to play in Irving Nature parking
Enjoy the auto trail around the island. Take in the beaches and views of the ocean.
(Translated) Beautiful natural park, on foot or by car. (Original) Beau parc naturel, a pied ou faire le tour en auto.
Beautiful trails, views, and nature. The Saint John Astronomy Club set up amazing telescopes there, and as a stargazer, it was a privilege to see Jupiter and some of the dozens of it's moons, the Sun(using a special lens/filter, Saturn and it's rings and moons, Nebulae, and other Galaxies including Andromeda.
Great for walk, hike, bike a ride. Great at seeing different plants of New Brunswick. The views are amazing...breathtaking.
Very beautiful place.
Beautiful trails with a ton of of great vistas and the lookout tower is really nice and easy to get to. Marsh boardwalk is great
This is a place to visit, I really enjoyed it, I will be going back for a bit of a longer stay.
Always a great place to go for a short hike while visiting Saint John. Found this stone and moved it to a new location. Enjoy nature.
A highlight of our trip to Canada Great hiking trails and mud flats.
Beautiful, well maintained trails. Absolutely breathtaking views.
great place for a family
Very well kept, great place to enjoy the outdoors
This is my fav spot in the city, love walking the trail in the breezy summer days
Good park To go but need some clean up and work To be done on site To maintain
Fun
The kids park is a great place for the little ones, lots of stuff to play on, well looked after and 2 mazes.
An incredible adventure awaits you here. So many trails to choose from and wildlife everywhere to see.
It's a nice spot with well maintained trails, lots of accessible look outs and spots to have a packed lunch. Information for out of towners: It's roughly a 6 km or 45 min - hourish walk around on the inner road and roughly 7.5 km on the inside trails. Dress for the weather, mosquitos and bring water because there's no facilities outside of portable washrooms on site.
Love this place for a quick hike or a day with the family. BBQ pits over the park are a great addition.
Beautiful, convenient and full of little treasures (the beach, the different trails, the animals that you can find etc). On the way to the Park there is also a great playground, if you have little ones.
Best place to hike ever
Wish we had more time lots of trails and stuff to see
Great family and dog friendly place to spend the day!
Great place to visite with the whole family. Even has sight seeing areas that are adapted for people with disabilities. I really loved our experience here we had amazing weather and even though we could see that there where lots of people it didn't seem crowded. Lots of rest areas with bbqs outside. I found that really cool.
One of the most beautiful spots in Saint John. If you're quiet it's possible to see wildlife.
One of the best things Saint John has to offer. Gratitude to the Irving family for donating the land and maintaining the awesome trails.
Beautiful views
A fine piece of natural within the city. There is great hiking, bbq's for your use and an amazing playground for the kids.
Good hiking
One of the best places to walk with great views and an abundance of wildlife.
Even in winter this is a beautiful area and walking trail
Always a great place to visit and frolic about or a beautiful trail run.
Great trails
Great spot for a scenic walk. Lots of squirrels and birds. Easy trails and scenic pathways.
Beautiful
Very beautiful scenery, path is clear and enjoyable to walk /hike
Great place for exercise dating and BBQ.
Great trails and bbq live it
Had a lot of fun here. Hedge mazes were great!
Beauty of nature
Amazing drive through nature experience
Trees and ocean. What's not to love?
Kids loved it
This park/trail is a must for trail runners. Low to med skill levels. You go through so many different types of environments, beaches, woods, rocks, swamps, small bridges it's so amazing. Great for walking to. 7km-9km loop if you do both seal loop and Herron loop.
Beautiful place. I went there for a group tour with 25 children. They did an amazing activity with the children. I would highly recommend Irving nature park. It's just a beautiful park.the guides were very informative. They fed the birds and were able to hold crabs and touch baby fish. The guides too them to a marsh land area for the activity. I can't upload photos due to privacy of the children.
It is a nice place for walk, look at some sceneries and enjoy the ocean.
Great for family day trips
Beautiful scenery that is well groomed but still wild. Friendly staff and lots of planned activities. Don't forget to Geocache!
Trails are really nice and well kept. Parking and park entrance is free and really beautiful. There is a kids playground and a couple mazes which the kids loved.
Should be rated #1. Amazing views. Lots of education and information.
A site to Behold, evetyone should take a trip there
Playground is awesome, new additions added this year. Two hedge mazes to explore, picnic tables, great place to spend a few hours in the afternoon.
Beautiful park!
Extremely well maintained nature preserve with walking trails and self guided tours. Family friendly picnic grounds. Ample parking and handicap restroom facilities.
Besides being the place where my wife and I first met, it is the best nature park within any city in Atlantic Canada, no question. Big, well designed for public access with lots of trails boardwalks and interpretive signs it's one of the jewels of Saint John NB.
Nice walk.
Nice to hike and picnic
This is a very popular location and is enjoyed by many people, especially on weekends. Kudos to Irving for providing and maintaining the park. It is definitely a place people should visit if they are in the area.
Nice place
A must visit when visiting St. John.
(Translated) Very nice park, free. Several fairly accessible hiking trails. Tourist information at the entrance with site maps. Public toilets available throughout the park. (Original) Très beau parc, gratuit. Plusieurs sentiers pédestres assez accessibles. Informations pour touristes à l'entrée avec cartes du site. Toilettes publiques disponibles un peu partout dans le parc.
Well maintained walking path with great views.
From hiking to swimming, bbqing and bird watching, this public park makes nature accessible and family friendly.
Irving Nature Park is close to town and offers a beautiful view. Sit on the beach or go for a walk down the trails. Nice place to read a book or simply appreciate the Atlantic ocean.
Amazing place, excelent infrastructure (bbq spots, picnics tables, washrooms, trails, etc). Many amazing places for pets, kids and families. I LOVE TO BE THERE.
It was cold when I got thrown in the water but the kids had fun
Beautiful forest trails, amazing views from the rock cliffs, and seal sightings at mid day low tide. Beautiful day!
Always a good place to do some hiking and enjoying the nature. Not the first and not the last time I will going there.
Favourite spot to forget being in the city.
This park is definitely a hidden gem! Great for walking, bikes or touring by car. The views are spectacular! You can view from beach level or up high from one of the look outs! Be sure to bring a camera....so much to take in with the birds & wildlife there. Great for kids to just enjoy Mother Nature! Don't miss this park when visiting St. John, New Brunswick to catch views of the Bay of Fundy!
One of my favourite places in the city. So many great trails to explore. We always look forward to seeing new things in the park with each visit. My daughter's favourite thing is finding different types of mushrooms.
Wonderful.
What a great place for a stroll!!
Great hiking trails, a huge beach, and a variety of shoreline to explore.
Beautiful views, nice walking paths
Magic
A true gem. Been going there since it opened. Love the place.
Great hiking and beautiful views
Nice trails, well maintained and minimal garage
Gorgeous, well maintained. Wonderous views.
I love connecting with nature and walking the trails at the INP.
(Translated) Heavenly place to do with the family because it is suitable for children (Original) Endroit paradisiaque à faire en famille car adapté aux enfants
Very pretty. Saw some interesting birds, good views of the Bay, and lots of trails.
Beautiful place, we could see a beautiful deer
Excellent and well maintained park and trails. Great place to tire out your kids and possibly spot some wildlife.
It was raining the whole time I was there and the sound and sights were brilliant. Only wish I had more time.
This is such a beautiful spot
beautiful hike, wish we had more time there
Beautiful place to drive or hike. Loved its proximity to our hotel in St. John. Felt safe, trails were well marked. Breathtaking views!
Amazing hike.
We walked the dog along the beach by the parking lot. The wind was cool but it was refreshing.
An amazing park with well tended trails, beautiful beaches, picnic areas, and amazing views. A place for young and old alike.
Great trails for all ages. Park is very clean and well maintained.
Beautiful spot ????
Well maintained place
Amazing public access to Bay of Fundy. Visited in December. Cold! But beautiful.
This is my number 1 place for going for walks or jogs outdoors. The gravel roadway is fine for biking or walking on for a total of around 6.5kms. There are also several dirt/mulch paths weaving through and beside the roadway if you want to mix it up from time to time. The roadway is usually closed to cars on weekend mornings until noon to give joggers and bikers a chance to use it without having to worry about cars being in the way. There are also a couple beaches you can bring your dogs to (or swim in I suppose if you brave the freezing waters), different lookout points with binoculars, and a few shelters with picnic tables and barbecues you can have gatherings at.
Great place
Nice to drive around and see views.
Nice park. Beautiful views, peaceful place. They have BBQ on the site for visitors, so bring a steak and a bottle of wine. ????
Rocky, pretty.
Must see if you're in the Saint John area. Free parking, free access, small beach and great hiking throughout
Amazing place to walk run, or take the family. The great views will not disappoint you. It is a nice place to relax.
Amazing place to explore nature.
Always a nice spot with free BBQs ????
Super cool free attraction. Fun way to spend the day exploring.
Nice
Beautiful park. Nice little waves. Good places to sit. My dog enjoyed many smells there.
Has multiple scenic spots a short walk away. Mostly car accessible although if rainy the main gravel roads may be closed.
Well groomed trails. Takes about 2 hours to hike the perimeter trail.
Ok. Except returned 10 minutes prior to closing to find gate locked from the outside and nobody around to unlock. Called Irving. Someone came. All good.
Always well maintained
What a beautiful park, I have lived nearby for my whole life and I always make it a goal to visit multiple times a summer. Recently I decided to go on a winter hike with a few members of my family and decpite some parts being a little icy (to be expected) we had a blast. We got our step goals with ease and a light workout too. I will definitely spend more time here.
This was my first time at the Irving Nature Park and I thought that it was beautiful. There were others that I had apple to and they had been going there for a long time and loved it. Others that had been there for the first time as I Was, and they were quite happy as well. Never scene anything like it. The walk about the park was a different sight at every turn. I would go back for sure.
Beautiful place to walk run bike etc.
Great place to hike, bike, drive. Love this place.
Nice park if you're looking for a place to hike; not much in the way of views.
Nice park with beautiful views
Quiet walks and noisy squirrels 11
Great place for a hike. Thanks to the Irving's.
Such an incredible place to come and enjoy nature. Lots of trails for hiking. Biking on the roadways. Chickadees will take bird seed right from your hand! We visit here every time we come to the area.
Great trails .
Well maintained and clean. Trails offer nice views. Unfortunately we did not have time to get to the end of the trail.
This was my first time visiting the Nature Park and it did not disappoint! The views were beautiful and the trails added a nice bit of adventure. I will definitely go again.
Amazing groomed trail system along the Bay of Fundy by Saint John - the views are stunning and we'll worth the time to check this out!
Every trip to the nature park we find something new to enjoy
Great place for kids.
Great nature park with lots of walking travels or parking spaces if you prefer to drive through & park to take in the scenic views.
Great place for everyone
Reai Nice place. Fresh air. Long trail (7km) to enjoy the nature Ethier by biking or walking
Great facilities and views
Beautiful place for the family to hike in
Great hiking spot with lots of locations to spot seals
Went with my friend steve to eat burger king. Was a very nice place to enjoy my burger sandwich. There were bird sounds and the sounds of children playing. Our friend Duane could not make it.
If you are interested in watching the night sky, this is the place. Beautiful trails also to accompany.
Absolutely beautiful spot. Great views, wonderful short hike.
Awesome
Great trails and beautiful views! If you are lucky enough you may even get to see some animals. A great place to pack a picnic and enjoy the outdoors with some fresh salty air.
Trails are well maintained and very easy to follow. Views and sights are amazing. Highly recommend!
Fantastic spot right in the city.
Second best park in the city
Nice place for hiking and fun to family
A really nice park! The path system is quite extensive, and skirts the edge of the peninsula, giving some great views. The trails are not especially difficult, but some people might have difficulty as there is rocky terrain and some elevation changes involved. That being said, there is also a road system that runs near the trail, which could be walked on instead. We took our dog and saw several other people with dogs as well... there are garbage cans and bag dispensers in several locations throughout the park.
First time there and thought we would stay on the main trail. Glad we did, we see a lot of different trails crossing the main trail (road) and seen many different animals and birds.???? Can't wait until my next visit to Saint John to explore some trails ????
Beautiful place for hiking, seal watching, beach area. I could spend all day there with my family.
Best
(Translated) Really a very beautiful park! (Original) Справді дуже гарний парк!
Beautiful, relaxing and great place for a nature walk.
Mazes are fun, not to hard. Playground is great.
An absolute delight.....
Great views
Overall good experience!
quiet and good view
Great views, great trails. There is a picnic area and natural gas (I think) grills to use for free! The parking isn't great at the main entrance but it's not terrible either.
We just went to the main shore/beach and hung out for an hour. The views are great and it honestly was one of the best parts of our trip to Saint John.
Nice quiet walk. Nice ocean views.
Great local spot. You can walk, hike, jog, drive through the park. Dogs welcome. The real beauty about this place is the experience of being in the forest while only being moments from the city. Great spot to escape.
Great
Amazing location! Just slowly driving through gives a feeling of 'back to nature' and quietness. Haven't done the trails, but they are likely excellent for views and exercise. A wonderful escape so close to the city!
Beatifull, icy, walk slowly and carefully!!????????????
I love walking the trails here! Very nice place to go for a 9 km hike.
It is fantastic park. BBQ spots available and propane BBQ grills are available in different spots for free. Not sure if people can bring their own charcoal grills
(Translated) Full of walks to do for families or athletes. A beautiful natural park also accessible by car (limited to 20km / h) (Original) Plein de balades à faire pour les familles ou sportifs. Un beau parc naturel accessible aussi en voiture (limité à 20km/h)
By far my favourite run in the city!
Probably the best trail I have ever walked on. It is well maintained, have staff driving through the park for monitoring, beautiful views, and the foliage smells so good. There are gravel flatter trails to walk, as well as paths through the forest that walks along side the water. Would definitely recommend visiting here.
One of the most beautiful spots in Saint John to view the ocean, wildlife, hike, bike, take great photos, explore with your children. And, it's free!
Great walking trails
Full Mark's for natural beauty, including fabulous views from the island in all directions. Our favourite, finished running or walking trails in every direction with a mulch base. Beaches around the circumference and quite private. Thanks to the Ieving family for sharing this beauty!
A great, mostly quiet and convenient slice of nature. If it wasn't great I wouldn't bring my dog there almost daily.
Perfect day whether going solo or with people. Trails are very nice.
An outdoor splendor! Beautifully crafted trails through the park with plenty of scenic overlooks and wildlife galore! There are restrooms along the trails and a great information booth with info on the park and more! This is a MUST see if you are in St. John! If you prefer to drive it, they even have a loop road that you can access all the scenic overlooks as the hikers! Enjoy!!
Well-kept nature site with free parking, a beach, and more.
Two words: Gravel bike ! ... but beware of the people walking on the wrong side or in group of many taking the whole width of the main trail.

I love the sunset view. So beautiful like a scene in a movie :) similar to the sunset through which toothless flies with hickup and the girl from movie 'how to train a dragon'
Very peaceful Natural Flora and Fauna of the Area Well maintained
Gorgeous walking/biking trails. Many nice views. The park is very well maintained.
You can have a bbq there great places to go like the mazes and a playground for the younger children. You can even go for a hike and feed the birds birdseed they will land on your child's hand if they are still enough.
Did the full hike. Great shots of the tidal flats and enjoyed the hike. Took about 1.5hrs
Beautiful
Always a nice place to visit. Very beautiful location. Only issue is the BBQs need to be fixed as some of them don't work any longer.
Great walking trails, well kept,
A very popular. Walking hiking park with some nice vantage points to view harbor. And surrounding areas.
Wonderful!
Very nice place for a walk. They also have a driving trail, but it's not open currently.
Well maintained
Walking trails for hiking enthusiasts of all kinds. A beautiful natural escape in Saint John.
I am just amazed at how this park is jaw dropping and the road around it iz really well made with different stops along the way!!!
I loved Irving Nature Park because they could go to Irving Park for Dad and Me Next time, Liam's school field trip was extremely good in the past school years.
loved it!
(Translated) Wow, so a nice place. I would go back again and again. Trail, absolutely wow panoramas. (Original) Wow, tellement un bel endroit. J’y retournerais encore et encore. Sentier, panoramas absolument wow.
Always a great escape.
Beautiful views. Great picnic areas.
Well groomed trails in a breathtaking location. It takes about 2 hours to do the loop and the trails are well suited for people of all age.
A lovely public beach. Great for everyone to enjoy
Two large dogs approached and circled my girlfriend and I for about one minute before the owners appeared on the trail. People don't have the right to ruin a beautiful nature park by making it uncomfortable for others with large dogs running loose in the trails.
Great spot for young kids.
Was very peaceful and clean!
Very nice walking trails with great views of the bay. Free bbq's with plenty of parking all throughout the park.
Good day to enjoy only thing didnt realize cars &trucks use same pathway as people so be careful with that pet owners and parents
Lots of walking trails and parking options. Info center was very helpful and friendly. Boardwalk and structures needed a bit of TLC
Family favourite. Enjoy walking the trails out to the penninsula. Also can go to labyrinth when open in warmer months.
What a beautiful , peace Ocean view..!!
Awesome place, large variety of access points for vehicles to walking\hiking trails make it easy to keep an interesting venture for more than one visit. Well maintained as well as developed. Wildlife is friendly also, bring food.
Great walk lots of great sitting areas and places to see, just please don't feed the foxes.
Only an hour drive from Fredericton. Nice beach to walk with my dog. There were people but it was quiet and not overpopulated.
One of the nicest outdoor places to go near Saint John. Lots of wildlife and walking trails, the beach is lovely as well
This is hands down my favorite place to go for walks. Nothing is more beautiful than walking along the ocean on beautiful trails surrounded by wildlife and green and enjoying a delicious lunch at one of their picnic areas. In the summer this is my go-to. If I could recommend anywhere in Saint John, this would be the place!
A jewel in the community
Beautiful boardwalk and scenery, easy to either hike or drive, and it's free! I would love to go back for the salt marsh and the sea views
It is a walk
It was simply wonderful. It should be on everyone's bucket list.
Very nice
Family friendly great scenery
For brisk walkers/runners if you choose to go off trail. My weekend run of choice. Try being there around 10 ish, and you wouldnt find it too crowded. By noon it tends to get a lot of people.
Great place to hike and enjoy nature.
Experience nature right in the city. Hike the trails, walk, picnic, watch the seals, or sit on the beach and soak up the sun. Great place for all ages.

(Translated) Beautiful ! Lacks a bit of toilet by cons. (Original) Très beau ! Manque un peu de toilettes par contre.

Peaceful, well maintained park. Great place to walk - 6.5km if you walk the whole loop.
Amazing park
Great park, good PR for Irving and a fantastic example of their contribution to SJ! (I really liked working for them in the past too!)
Beautiful park!
Busy but beautiful
Great place for kids and adults alike! Unusual playground equipment including a kids zip line and musical pipes for kids! Already maze too!

This place is a jewel in the city. The trails are great for a family nature walk and the views are amazing.
Awesome trails ...beaches . washrooms ... Observation tower
Long easy hike with great views!
Wonderful ????️
Fresh air and wonderful hiking trails either on a road or through the woods. Beautiful resting spots with fantastic views. I find it very calming and relaxing to pick a spot and look out over bay of fundy.
Long hikes
Love the nature park
Nice walk. Great scenery
Only made it to Saint's Rest Beach for a walk at low tide tonight. Excellent place to do that. Found a piece of history on my walk. Shoreline is eroding, what used to be part of a walking trail is gone.
Nothing better then nature . Lots of trails to explore or the beach to enjoy the ocean
(Translated) Very well landscaped footpath! Possibility of barbecue in the top of the mountain! (Original) Sentier pédestre très bien aménager ! Possibilité de faire du barbecue dans le haut de la montagne !
Great area for walking with some nice picnic/BBQ spots.
Cool park for family ok guess but nothing impressive to see there. Employees are very helpful
Be sure to search for wish rocks on this picturesque beach. Take a camera for sure!
Wonderful hikes. I went twice in one weekend.
Beautiful scenery, lots of parking.
This park is stunning! We enjoyed the hiking trails all the way around the "island" -- highly recommended. Great for kids and adults. Well maintained trails with excellent ocean views.
Beautiful hiking trail... been to so many across Canada and America and I really enjoyed this one and deff will be coming back.
Beautiful spot but needs better signage on things to do.
Just beautiful
Beautiful experience,,easy trails and amazing beach!!
Very nice trails. the ocean side trails could use more multch as they are very mucky in spots.
So beautiful. A treasure so close to the city.
Wonderfully place to bring the kids
Wonderful place to walk and enjoy nature. Free BBQs as well so pack a lunch and make a day of it.
(Translated) Beautiful hikes to do As well as the footbridge of the marsh (Original) De belles randonnées à faire Ainsi que la passerelle du marais

Beautiful....but cooler than fredericton
Awesome! We went for a walk along the beach at sunset and it was the highlight of our visit to Saint John. Very pretty scenery
Irving does a great job keeping this natural, protected area clean and well maintained. Great walking trails and rocky beach for hours of exploring and picnicking. Tree maze and playground for kids.
So nice big park. The place to walk your dog or go for a swim. The beach is fabulous!
Lots of walking trails and beautiful scenic views
A Bay of Fundy nature park island connected by a beach road to West Saint John New Brunswick. It has good parking at the entrance at ocean vantage points and at an interpretation center in the center neàr the lookout tower. You can drive or walk around the circle road if about 8 km length or take the trail sections that circle the edge if the island or go out on a boardwalk inti the tidal mudflats. Expect to see sea birds seals and more nature. In season there are also nature and geology tours available.
Great walks, it is definitely worth visting the park.
Beautiful, relaxing and the nature was wonderful. Have an enjoyable time. Next time we would like to have a barbecue. They are provided.
Beautiful well maintained trails. Lots of services and beautiful scenery.
Beauty park. Well maintained
The Irving Nature Park is a little piece of heaven on the edge of the city. You can feel like you're in the woods while also enjoying the lapping waves from the bay. A great place for a walk or to just sit and enjoy the views.
The trails are great and they have free natural gas BBQs at different locations during the summer!
A great place to walk, hike, picnic, jog or just enjoy nature
Nice trails and ocean scenery.
We greatly enjoyed the hiking trails in the nature center, which included seaside cliffs, wetlands, wooded areas and beach. Typical for Canadian venues, there were very clean outside toilets available for hikers. A park guide was helpful for visitors. PIcnic areas were also available.
Nice place
Very well laid out. We had a 1 1/2 yr old with us and a 37 week pregnant mom so being able to drive through was awesome. We really enjoyed the cedar maze and the playground set is great. Great way to fill in some time around Saint John.
A wonderful way to get back to nature with incredible views!
Love this place so peaceful we go there at least 2 time in the summer they have really nice trailes, and very nice view. Awesome for those that loves rocks????
Love this place. Always animals to be seen. Always quiet and peaceful.
Fantastic views and great trails. Well worth the price of the free admission.
An amazing hidden gem in St.John. some absolutely epic short hikes with gorgeous views of the bay of Fundy.
Beautiful nature park. It's only 20 minutes from downtown St. John NB and it's well worth a visit.
Love this place!
Beautiful walk
Wonderful park...meticulously maintained...
Fun time at the park and hedge maze although there were a lot of bees and the outhouse had no anti bacterial hand gel.
(Translated) A magnificent park. The view is magnificent and the very simple layout allows you to fully appreciate nature. (Original) Un magnifique parc. La vue est magnifique et l'aménagement très simple permet d'apprécier la nature au maximum.
Stunning views. Great trails.
This is a beautiful spot!
Very well marked and maintained. Very natural!
Beautiful landscape
Very good place to enjoy nature.
Closed for the winter. Entrance was iced over so walking in isn't very safe. I tried but didn't get far as the trails were iced over too for as far as I could see. There were a few cars parked so maybe there was another way in
Exceptionally clean and beautiful trails with jaw dropping scenic views.
Nice
Beautiful natural park land. We explored the children's forest and the maze which is a great feature. The playground also has a zipline which the kids enjoyed.
It's beautiful at any time of the year.
Very nice park! Lots to do, the mazes are a blast!
Some of the most beautiful sceneries in NB. Must see if you visit
Nothing especially.
Nice and quiet beach and our kids had good time at children forest and Cedar hedge maze
Love it! The sound of the waves is such a balm to the spirit.
The trails winding in and around the trees on the shoreline side are a great place to unwind and relax. Beautiful scenery along the coastline. You can take your time and explore along the way. Do take care we did spot what we think was poison ivy along the edge of the roadway.
Good for family outings
This is a beautiful park with a nice driving loop and a great series of walking trails. There are usually seals in the surf around seal rock, just watch for a bit and you will see their heads popping up out of the water. We always stop when we are passing through St John. For some reason, people seem to walk on the road, not on the trails, so be careful when you are driving.
Awesome little park, beach road is never consistently maintained however. Today is like bombs hit it, can’t be healthy for vehicles
Beautiful park. Lots of trails to explore.
(Translated) Stimulating experience, incredible views and very well executed amenities. The park is well signposted, parking lots are plentiful. Several tracks to walk the sea is generous. The beach is beautiful. (Original) Experience stimulante, vues incroyables et aménagements très bien exécutés. Le parc est bien balisé, les stationnements abondants. Plusieurs pistes pour se promener la mer est généreuse. La plage est belle.
Wonderful place! Take a picnic!
Loved it
Awesome place to hike! The ocean and woods...Irving Nature Park is amazing! We always look forward to our big hike at this nature park when we go to Canada each summer.
Beautiful place
Love the Irving Nature Park Close to my home ???? friendly people my dog loves it, truly thankful to have it in my backyard???? ✌
A must destination for any visitor to the area. Beautiful walking trails and well maintained picnic areas throughout the park. This is a privately owned and maintained park that is open to everyone. A great example of community giving.
Saint's Rest Beach is beautiful, stunning, peaceful! Not crowded, clean.
Breathtaking!
Peaceful
Check out ALL of the trails! Spend an entire day there with your family and friends. There is so much beauty to see at the nature park -including wildlife so tame I had a squirrel climb on my shoulder while eating a sandwich on the beach. You will fall in love with this place.
Love it here. So beautiful
Irving nature park has hiking and walking trails for all skill levels. Great views abound from the trails with various viewpoints to see wildlife enjoying their habitat.
Beautiful trails
Easily the best part of the city.
I'm indiffrent about it
Loved the views
Great place for the whole family! Nice beach great trails beautiful spot to go to.
Beautiful
This is a beautiful place. There are lots of walking and hiking trails that lead you through woods and marshes. Nice wooden planking takes you over the wetter parts. The beach is completely gorgeous. There is also a new kids area. Lots of free parking. Great for dog walks too. Highly recommend!
(Translated) A gem for the city. To go see alone or with family (Original) Un bijou pour la ville. À aller voir seul ou en famille
It is incredible, amazing, beautiful... No words can describe the place. The trails are looong so take care, and there are not enough signs to guide you.
Nature is beatiful!
Beautiful park.Well kept. Loved the lookouts and stairways to the rocky beach area. Took my grandchildren there last week visiting from Toronto. They loved it.
(Translated) Very well maintained park. We did several trails and enjoyed it a lot. Several magnificent views and beautiful encounters with different species. It's worth the detour!

This is the #1 place in town to go for a run! 6.5km road loop 7km offroad loop
Great place to walk.
Good
Love this Park. The beach is beautiful. The walkway out to the marsh is magical. There are bbq areas for families. Lookout points on the trails. If you are in SJ and want to go on a walk or adventure with your family head here.
Love the beach, hiking trails and the children's forest
A great park. Interesting to walk and explore. Fairly large. Good accessible parking.
Such a beautiful and peaceful place to clear your mind! So many beautiful, well groomed walking and biking trails. It’s also handicap friendly, you don’t have to just walk or bike to be able to see the views, you can just drive around the park if you prefer! So many beautiful picnic spots with barbeques you can use for free!
