A very lovely place for a stroll.

Looks nice! Couldn't see much though, car was moving too fast

Love the path, its a good addition to St T. Meeds to be paved, cant wait to see what it becomes in the future

Lamontagne Réjean

(Translated) To do and worth the detour, very beautiful view in height. I loved stretching my legs there. It will become a beautiful point of reference. I recommend this place. (Original) À faire et vaut le détour, très belle vue en hauteur. J'ai adoré me dégourdir les jambes à cet endroit. Ça va devenir un beau point de référence. Je recommande cet endroit.

Best park I have ever been to. Definitely a unique use of an old rail line!

Richard Hammond

Nothing else like this park around.

Bonnie Rapley

We live across the street from the king st. entrance , make the walk up the path as often as possible it's a beautiful place and well maintained.

Mrs Kennedy (Lexer)

So beautiful and we came on a perfect night

Trevor Laframboise

Don't miss this hidden gem in St.Thomas! A wonderful breath of fresh air, and an easy walk for those with mobity issues. Take in the sights and sounds of birds, beautiful wild flowers sprawling vistas and beautiful art! We stopped on a whim, but we're not dissapointed. Highly recommended!

Zeke

Love going to this place

Rick Myer

Great spot with spectacular views of beautiful scenery. Sit, pause and enjoy.

Vanita Kaura

A very creative transformation of the railroad. It's a cute walk.

Lia Michelle

This park is lovely and so different! There's so much to see while on the boardwalk and the sculptures and exhibits through the park are great for kids. The lights in the evening are very warm and welcoming and the grass is so green and bright during the day. If you carry on after the elevated park ends, you can follow a straight gravel path for what seems like forever. I highly recommend a long walk as it takes you out between rolling green farm fields. Start to finish, this walk is worth it!

Jax Robinson

Beautiful and peaceful. Great walk.

Good

George Ball

Beautiful trail

Luke Durda

This is an amazing park with an incredible view. Its very interesting but not as relaxing as other parks. If you have never been here its definitely worth checking out. Lots of free parking available outside the park.

a little bare but getting there!

The Elevated Park Walk is an interesting place . The highest point is built on the old train trestle which is very high. Worth the drive to St.Thomas to experience the adventure. Until last weekend I had never even heard of this place.

Sabrina MacQueen

Great accessible trail. It's an old railway line. We went on a hot day so you need to know there is very little shade. Will return on a cooler day. I was able to use my motility scooter with ease. Bring water and a protein bar with you.

rob ellis

Very well kept park and stunning view of creek valley

Clapping Hands

Nice place for a stroll and enjoying the nature from the elevated park. Ideal place to take beautiful pictures with a blue sky canvas as background. Limited parking is available near Jumbo statue and a quick 2 minute walk to the park entrance. Should appreciate the idea of building this park.

Damian David Chapman

You cannot help but enjoy the serene walk along the city's wonderful boardwalk with lovely scrawling views of the countryside & the added metal artwork installations pop. Plus great noise makers for the little & big kids alike.

Mark Fawcett

I come here often. This time I forgot my phone for pictures. I love the view its magnificent.

Nathan Barney

This is a great idea! It is a very nice walk and view! And I have great hopes for the future. We will plan to keep updated on progress...

Srinivas Varanasi

Beautiful. Hidden gem.

Pete Quevillon

Love this trail for jogging....4 km....of tranquility!!!!!

Wayne Newton

Continually improving park atop a massive 1929 railway bridge in St. Thomas, Ont. Unique art installations up top and a free library and live edge knitter's bench along the way. It's part of the Great Trail. Free, but donations welcome.

Mad Thornbird

Not finished but gates are at least open to walk in!

Adam Yassin

Very nice place

Lorna Rick

The entrance to the park was hard to find, but the hunt became part of the adventure. Once arriving at the park I found it peaceful, creative, and the summer breeze welcoming on a hot day. I'm looking forward to a night time visit. What they've done with the space is wonderful and I only wish it could be longer. Definitely recommended.

Chester D great

Wow

JEFF STAFFORD

Great to see they used a old overpass to have a wonderful day out with family and seeing Elgin county.

An Q

John Danells

Beautiful views

Judy Earhart

It's a great place to take a walk and enjoy the surroundings. It's kept very clean and seems to be enjoyed by many.

Aaron Keenan

Hidden gem with a great view. Great place to sit and relax, people watch, or for a little walk.

Josie Elliott

Great walk, not very long so if you need to get out and see great views this is the place to go, also has a little library on the trail take a book, bring a book

Irving five

Canada's first, and only elevated park. A short walk over an existing railway trestle, that offers great views, as well as musical experiences, and art.

Relative FrencH20

Love it here. Great views and well maintained

Deborah

Love walking here????

Reza Simatupang

It's a nice small park. Gets a nice cool breeze due to its high location, nice spot to cool in the summer.

Joel Mendez

One of the most underrated locations in St Thomas. Good to see the organization is constantly improving every aspect of the elevated park as they can. Also happy to see people in the city itself pitching themselves in to contribute towards the good cause!

David Ziegler

Great family walk! Love how this spot has been reperposed!

Canadian Adventures

It's a good view and nice place to visit but it's pretty small

Brad Fuller

Great Idea to build a garden on the old train bridge as it is a historic site in St. Thomas, ontario. The gates that lead to the elevated garden bridge are located here at Centre street. This is the first of it's kind and is going to be great when finished.

Rick Smith

Beautiful view and clean park. Lots of seating.

Beverley Brown

Very interesting place :) We will look forward to returning and seeing the changes, and different seasons. Too bad they have had problems with vandals :(

Jennifer “ThruJensLens” McNaughton

Lovely walk, lots to see. Wildflowers and butterflies, artworks and a great view from the bridge.

Johanna van Wyk

Awesome view beautiful interesting sculptures.very relaxing to just sit down and opserve

Rusty Hinge

Love it. Close to home, visit frequently

Sara Abdelkader

Unique and new! One of a kind park. First elevated park I've ever been to. Very interesting ????

Paul Gallant

Very nice idea. I can see this becoming a true attraction and place for musicians. The downfall however is lack of parking.

Dale Cogswell

A great view and well planned out

Shirley's Adventure

Great views,has a ibrary..

Leslie Lumley

So cool that St Thomas has Canada's first elevated park. So close to the statue of Jumbo, another tourist attraction here, and a mere hop, skip, and a jump to quaint little downtown shops like A Handmade Tale, Purely Wicked, Myrtle, Given, and Streamliners to name a few. The park itself has much history, being a part of The Railway City, and is a fantastic feat being 100% volunteer funded and run. A scan of the donor list is a who's-who of St Thomas. Events such as Storytime with Rosie make this a great destination for all ages.

Wayne OShell

A gorgeous day today.........

George Bell

Went for their annual fund raiser, picnic on the bridge. Nice entertainment, food and view.

Raquel Fearnley

Sooo cool!!! Such a beautiful view

Randy Gordon

Janet Tyson

So peaceful. Like the library there take one leave one Alot of pride is showing there

Mark Mcallister

Love the concept. Funky place to check out.

Celeste N

Both the sunrise and sunset are amazing to view from the height up here. There’s also a beautiful wooden bench where one can sit down, get comfortable and pick a book to read from the glass bookshelf for free. And feel free to donate more by just adding it to the same shelf.

Kelly Taylor

It was a lovely place to walk and enjoy the pollinator gardens. It is not quite finished, but gorgeous none the less. Can't wait for it to be complete!

Matthew R

Great location to get away from (and above) everything. Peaceful, and there are benches and cool art to enjoy along the way.

Owen Araujo

It's a cool place to stop off if you have time, but I wouldn't make a trip out to see it.

Derek E.

Short walk but very cool!

Keven Jeffery

This is a hiking trail that starts out at an old elevated train track. It's flat and a good option for children or those with mobility issues. There's not a lot of variety in the scenery, but it would be fun trail to bike for the day

Maria LeBannister

Enjoyable walk! Lots of nature to explore

rebecca Sadler

Interesting,nice place to sit.

Zen Protocol

Cool

Dan Loosley

Meea The Chia

We like going up there. Great views,and Peaceful. They groups that organized and built it, did a great job.

Croft Seymour

Parking lot is a distance from bridge. Might be to far for limited mobility or in a wheelchair. Maybe two blocks to park. Benches to sit on the walkway

e mc

Awesome

Kim Kristiansen

It's really cool. Looks like they are not maintaining it right now though. Regardless really cool

john barkas

Anne Ashfield

Always fabulous ????

Kaleb Quangvan

Jumbo is cool.

David Lawrence

Nice little area just to bad they pulled down all the little memorials that friends and family had put there to remember the ones that had jumped before it was a park. Seemed a little disrespectful of the city to me.

dave c

Great walk!

Adam F

A short, nice walk across the sky bridge, (worth doing once if in the area) looks like a nice bike path however.

Joanne Buehler

Wonderful walk, but very windy and still a bit cool today.

Graham Gagnon

A nice day.to walk.

Ken Roberts

The park is very well maintained and kept in good condition. It it is accessible (as I am handicapped). I can get around the entire park using a mobility scooter.

Bruce

Stay on the path and Watch out for the crazy lady.

J L

Nice calming place to go for a walk or to sit and rest with a great view

Kyle

Interesting park with some art pieces atop of an old train bridge. Good for a small walk and a short visit or keep on the old train trail for a long walk. Not much for the kids to do activity wise.
