It is accessible to everyone. There is a public washrooms, historic plaques, playground, pavilions, exercise areas (4), side trails, portals/pokestops for virtual reality players, and benches placed along the trail to rest or just enjoy the view. If you are so inclined, instead of returning the way you came, for hikers and cyclists, leave the trail to head to the shopping plazas after you pass under the bridge. Or take a longer journey up the trail until you reach the train tracks where the official trail ends. There are signs of wildlife and birds.

We always love going to the island, we go there to walk a few times a week.





It was a pretty park but all the dogs ruined it. There were so many dogs that didn't have leashes and they all tan around sniffing and getting into people's food. My little cousins were afraid of them so the entire they were screaming or crying. Someone really needs to do something about the dogs.

Only problem I have is stopping at every dog. How many friends can one dog make! Well at least they're happy and active!

Great place to relax in the summer





Quiet, peaceful and relaxing.





Lovely scenery. The perfect place to go for a walk, or a run. Met a friend there and parked our cars there and sat there for a while having lunch on our break from work.

Is a nice little place to walk










Great place for family fun and a picnic





My family came for the playground but found a few components of the structure semi unsafe from the hard packed gravel base, the spinning wheel that you can smash into metal posts or fall on your neck, odd teeter totter, zipline that even some adults couldn't reach, a slippery ladder. Sigh. The park is in a great location and needs some $ to make it the jewel it can be. The canal trails do look nice.










Beautiful surroundings and the locals are very friendly!





Fun getaway from the city




















So beautiful,a great place for a walk or bike ride





The best part of welland

Beautiful place to walk and Enjoy!










Nice park , walk your dog, benches to sit, clean





Great place to connect with nature in the heart of the city! The only reason to deduct one star is the amount of dog poo revealed by melting snow, including a lot of poo in bags abandoned all over the grass instead of in the receptacles.










Great walk in the heart of Welland! Accessible for anyone and maintained really well. Public washrooms still open despite the covid lockdown. We walk here regularly.















Great paved walking trail . Km markings , well groomed with natural areas . Washrooms at the start .















So great for a quiet walk in the middle of the night, bringing your kids to play, exercise, scenery, fishing, kayaking, etc. The atmosphere is so relaxing. It's truly a gem.

Long paved trail with dirt side trails and a playground near the parking lot. Great place to stroll, bike, rollerblade. Washrooms open all year.





So peaceful..love the walk





There is a quiet and serene sense to this place where you can have a nice nature walk on the path, or bring a cup of coffee and have some solitude. Or you can meet a friend there and have an enjoyable chat while overlooking the still water. You could bring the family for a fun picnic and the kids can enjoy playing in the playground. There's even a couple of fishing spots there. There's lots to see. Lots of clean fresh air to breath in. A terrific place to contemplate life, love, self, whatever.
