First and Second Welland Canal site - great for history buffs.

William Sandham

A small park containing many historically significant ruins related to the operations of the 1st and 2nd Welland Canal. The stone ruins found here are perhaps the best intact of all the 2nd Welland Canal ruins that are still visible. However, the exposed remains of the 1st Welland Canal have more or less completely returned to the earth as they are made of wood. Sadly, the park is in a terrible state of upkeep. The stone ruins have been tagged with graffiti where accessible, the excessive brush and dead fall from the trees chokes out nearly all fresh growth and there is a terrible amount of garbage strewn about. Good place to go for a short walk if you're interested in the early history of the Welland Canal system but not exactly a place of great natural beauty. Much wasted potential.

Nice clear paths for walking and exploring

Doug McClelland

A lovely walk. I wish there was more information about the old canal and the people who built it.

Tom Moore

Great place to walk the dog.

Kat Moon

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride and we got silly from all the sunshine. I love this park as it is part of my favorite shortcut to Thorold.

Holly Harrison

Neat little hidden history gem of Niagara. Nice place to go for a walk!

Jeremy Lessard

Beautiful! On one side of the locks you have a beginner hilly terain, and on the other, a flat walking path. Was a very nice, short walk. I would absolutely do it again.

Mandeep Mallhi

Nice place ..with bus stop..subway to ear..starbucks..sobeys and much more

JAIN SOJAN

No much area to explore. Just a place to have a cofee and talk with freinds or family. Dont expect more. I was really disappointed.

Rob Z

Amazing piece of history that you can actually step into. Always love to hike here and enjoy the quiet.

awesome view, all weathers

Ted Rietveld

Nice park

Todd Melville

Not just a lovely park in the city, but a part of Canada's National Heritage.

Welland Canals Advocates guided walk was enlightening. Details of historical points are easily overlooked without a guide. Very nice walk on variable texture pathways, including low lying watery grass. Some gentle rolling inclines, a bridge over rushing waters, lockmasters homes and historical plaques. Ticks are known to be present. Can you see the lock number inscribed on the wall? Check it out!

Kevin Morandi-Bonner

Beautiful day and a very interesting piece of history.

Mountain Locks Parks is hidden within a very developed area and provides a nice change in scenery. Parts of the old Welland Canal can be found here, which are somewhat well preserved. Unfortunately, many of trails are very overgrown and difficult to walk through. Maintenance on the park looks like it is overdue, and black flies are a real nuisance here as well.

Thomas Trojan

Great place for a walk and explore a bygone era.

Bruce trail goes through mountain locks park and since it's a little known trail, it's beautiful and uncrowded

Tom Kelly

Great views - lock interesting

Iain Tait

Very cool place but I noticed that many houses were at the park where I visited. A weird choice but it makes it different 6/10 it's okay

Rob Moore

Good place to relax

Gorzath Scott

Love the history and the nature

Kevin St Clair

Good place to walk!

Michael Fox

A nice glimpse of some of Merriton's canal history.

Carly G

Very pretty area. I like to take my puppy for walks here. Its beautiful on any season but in the fall when all the leaves are turning colour is probably my favorite. Not alot of foot traffic here so it stays relatively clean and free of debris

Alex

Beautiful

Roger Poirier

Wonderful history but poorly maintained.

Debbie Brooker

Under construction

Colleen Hughes

Great walk through the area, but first year whoever cuts the grass isn't doing the ditches. It has rained alot, but the sides of the ditches are needing a cut!

Nik Wyek

Beautiful green space with a historical backstory. Lots to see and look at, and Bruce trail adjacent. Only downside is the trails aren't always very well maintained and there is poison ivy around, so keep an eye out
