Best park to play, rest and explore

Large park on the water with playgrounds. And gardens

Love the park. Grew up there.

Chris Hogendoorn

Nice big park, lots of parking, playground for the kids and a bridge across to downtown Port Dalhousie. The remains of the 3rd Welland Canal is also a very cool historical feature.

Great walking place

Julien Faucher

Long relaxing walk. Clean and enjoyed the water and mature trees.

Jeremy Buchan

Great place for a quiet walk.

Aiden Wolfshadow (Wolfy)

People need to start picking up thier trash and not leave it behind. Other then that the park is a great place to fetch with the dog or go fishing. Picnic in the park or learn about the history of one of the oldest lock systems in ontario.

Beautiful park!

Fantastic park for the family and friends!

Bernie Peskett

Beautiful decent sized park, that has paths winding through well kept gardens during spring, summer and fall and hillsides for great tobogganing in winter. Great for dog walking, especially over the Henley Pond, via a sturdy bridge, that leads into Port Dalhousie and the Lakeside park and beach areas.

Joanna Krisza

Beautiful large park with willow trees by the water and Port Dalhousie.

Me and my fiance love going through Jaycee park from ontario street than we cross the bridge to go to port dalhousie definently a nice walk and place to check out.

Chris May

This a great park. It is very nicely maintained. It has an entrance to the pedestrian bridge that crosses to Port Dalousie. Its on the site of the 3rd Welland canal. The original walls at the entrance and land anchors are still visible. It also was previously know as May's Ravine, as noted on original canal drawings and records of lands surrendered by George May and Christian May for the canal to be built.

What a jewel of a park! We stopped there for the first time after church. Being that it was 10 degrees and sunny, strolling through the park on well-kept walkways was a great pleasure. And the waterways on either side of a lengthy foot-bridge! Amazing! Love this city!

STAY OUTTA THIS PARK!! LOCALS ONLY!!

One of the most beautiful, serene parks I've been to. I'm sure it was parks like this that helped St. Catharines earn the nickname, the Garden City!

Portia S

This is my favourite Park in St Catharines. I've been going here since I was a child and now I bring my children here. I love packing a picnic and spending the afternoon here :)

Great spot for a walk (roll, ride, etc). Trail is wide and paved.... hilly enough for varietybut flat enough for those with mobility issues. Views are lovely. Can see water from almost everywhere. Lots of space for a safely distanced picnic.

Good place to walk with a beautiful sight

A little slice of heaven, with a paved walking trail, surrounded by greenery. Includes a small kiddies playspace. Cross the bridge where you can see the Henley rowing venue and visit Port Dalhousie for a beverage or meal. Notable historic monuments here and there. No 'facilities' though. A perfect place for a walk with a friend.

Azad Jalali

Very nice large park with interesting landscape and views. Lots of people canoeing and playing sports and fishing.

Families come here with their kids to play. During winter it's a beautiful place with the frozen lakes and the snow, and I even saw swans!! ????

My family loves going to the park. We even got married in the park area. Very well maintained, beautiful location to just enjoy the fall colours or summer picnic fun

James and Joan Deurloo

Lovely surprise. Enjoyed our walk with our little dog. Look forward to checking out the extent of the park.

Henry Zwolak

This is a wonderful place to take a walk, or bike too. There is a playground for the young ones too. You can also enjoy a walk to Port Dalhousie using a pedestrian bridge that will take you over Martindale Pond. The Jayde Park is a place that will quickly become a favorite place to enjoy an afternoon.

Nancy

I just love the walk trails. Today was very breezy which is nice after the super hot day we have been having. I go early morning 6:30 a.m to avoid the crowds since we are still in lock down cause of Corona Virus.

Lisa Colburn

Beautiful place to take the children! Playground is newer and the bridge is very fun to walk back and forth to Port Dalhousie.

Shorty Goofy

Came to this park specifically to see the bridge. Before you get to the bridge there is a nice playground for the kids. If you are around the area it is a nice place for a walk. Also when you’re crossing the bridge you can see in the water that they have canoe competitions here. There is a place across the water where you can sit and watch but that’s on the other side of the water

Juan Camilo Buitrago

It's nice, i want to go newly, with my family

Beautiful park right along the water. I went for a walk along the paths there and it was great! Very clean space with lots of greenery. Great place to feel like you're away from the city while still being steps away from major intersections. Worth an afternoon trip!

Nice big park to take a four legged friend or even a two legged friend if you can find one

A great place to walk your dog. Lots of space for sports. Beware the lake monster.

Shruti

Love this park! We were pleasantly surprised by how spacious and pretty this space was as we are from out of town and don't have any nice parks like this in our community. Plenty of shady spots to have a picnic, read a book or take a nap. Long trails to walk your dog and the park itself is really well maintained. Hardly any signs of geese poop, weeds or litter and the lawn was cut nice and short. We recommend this park to everyone!

Adam Wolchuk

Very busy on weekends. People have decorated trees for holidays. Items should be removed.

This is a great park to visit. It is one of the larger parks in St Catharines. There is a playground for the kids and a paved walking path. You can see part of one of the old canals here as well. There is lots of grassy areas to run and play as well as some benches to sit and relax. There is a walking bridge at the back of the park that will take you across Martindale pond to Port Dalhousie and Lakeside Park.
