Reviews of Germain Park (Park)

Hugh Clouse

Nice city park to wander thru. Flower gardens are well maintained and used often for wedding photos. Lots of family run around area

OGP Tailor

Good place to go swing some bats. Has a dog park, a lovely garden, a hockey rink, a children's park, and a few soccer fields as well as a soldier's memorial. Just the run of the mill city park

Elizabeth A

Dog park (off Bright St.) was wonderful. The area is clean and well maintained one side for the small dogs and one for the big dogs. Only issue was one picnic table, would like to see another one (or two), on the outside of the fenced area.

Nick Hum

Has a very nice garden area that is clean and well kept. It is a little smaller than I thought but it has a good variety of flowers and plants. Some of the paths could be built up a little or paved as there was a few muddy patches. There are also multiple sports fields and a fenced in dog park at a separate parking lot around the corner. The dog park could use a little more shade.

Terri Willshire

Beautiful relaxing place. My grand kids enjoy the play ground there. I enjoyed sitting under a shade tree and watching the kids play. I also enjoyed watching all the dogs run and play in the off leash dog area. It was quite peaceful and relaxing.

Daryl Amundson

Lots of open space to enjoy the fresh air. A long, wide, paved walkway stretches across the park from east to west. There is a nice playground area with swings, climbers and slides for kids of all ages. Plenty of awesome ball diamonds, 2 with lighting for night games and a seasonal concession/restroom facility. Several soccer fields and nets of various sizes for players of various age groups. Two dog walking areas for large and small dogs and a cool little artsy garden area with many pagodas, decks, seating rocks and jet plane memorial. A lawn bowling facility with 2 play areas, 4 fenced in tennis courts and plenty of greenspace, both open and shaded are also found here. A beautiful flower garden/nursery with winding paths throughout that is simply gorgeous in spring/summer greets you at the west entrance to the park. Sad to see the arena closed but still an absolute gem in the heart of the city.

Really great place to have a nice relaxing day and enjoy the air and also a big playground for soccer lovers...

Kelly R

The gardens are amazing. Huge park offering a multitude of different sporting options. I use the Pickleball courts the most. Glad to see that the airplane of my childhood days is still well maintained.

carol glenn

This is a park with more than just game fields and a swing set. Walking with the children from the Indian street entrance all the way to East street, was a pleasant surprise. Enjoy!

Some of the playground equipment is outdated but the park is interesting. It has a Korean theme on one side with a Canadian fighter jet on display from the Korean war

"It's very important to take care of yourself. Everyone's lives are so busy. Take at least an hour a day to recharge and do whatever makes you better. For grown-ups, whether it's a spa, sitting in a park with a book, or coffee, take time for yourself." – Ana Ivanovic “There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Cindy Needham

Beautiful park with gorgeous views and areas for photo taking.. Great for picnics and gatherings or a relaxing spot to sit and read.. Playground for children, perfect for taking a walk or bike ride

Tom Yates

Gorgeous flowers. Peaceful place for a walk.

Steven Chittle

Playground review: An older playground, but don't let that fool you. They don't make them like this anymore. All metal playgrounds can take some serious abuse and still be around for years. The monkey bars are high enough for big kids (even adults) which is great. Swings are nice and high. Great time with the kids.

Jamie Lee Haggarty

Has nice gardens and lots of things for kids. Even a small & big dog park.

kevin Booth

Soccer fields, baseball diamonds, lawn bowling, and a dog park among walking/biking paths through beautifully tended gardens.

Sheldon Codling

For such a small size, there is a lot of stuff in this park, like multiple baseball diamonds, tennis courts, and playground equipment among other things. The problem is that I have come across a few syringes while walking through the park and lots of shady stuff seems to happen there at night.

Monster Elements

Felt great to revisit childhood park Germain, sad to see litter everywhere though.

tam janess

This place is beautiful to walk threw, U can smell the flowers as u r walking and it's clean and the people are just friendly and now yet have a dog park I love it my dogs can run and play as I sit and enjoy the sun and beuitull smells

Adam Taylor

Well kept, quiet place to walk. Great mix of gardens, flowers and trees.

Joel Brown (idiotsniff)

was ruin when these rich ppl donated money now we have all these stupid platform nobody use a garden with huge bloody telephone poles painted yellow & blue its joke. they should have put in a pavilion and a nice pony & light down the path for night time. rich ppl ruin everything.

Matt Szucs

Nice park. Big garden on one side with a Golden Hawk jet tribute. Nice ball diamonds as well as a lawn bowling facility

Becky Winegard

It's fine, as parks go. Very hard to fine, if you haven't been there before. Also, it is a very large park and has disparate parking lots that are not connected. One end of park doesn't have any washrooms.

Sarah Rogers

We love exploring the gardens year round, I often take clients here for photos. In fact its one of the most popular places in town for photos. I got my own prom and wedding photos done here. There is an albino squirrel that lives here and is quite the city spectacle. We are usually just biking through as the park is a major connector trail for us, and see him. My son also plays baseball here.

Richard Sitzes-Gosselin

Dog park always reminds me of my late best friend Aries

William

Big place to jog or take the dog for a walk. Baseball tennis as well as a few soccer fields all available in this well kept park. Take a stroll through the paths in the citys secret gardens.

R.J Bigras

Nicely maintained park that hosts multiple soccer pitches, baseball diamonds tennis courts and I believe a lawn Bowling court. The courtyard boasts a small trail which you can walk through with flowers and bushes within!

P H I L I P

An all round good park. Nice variety of trees and tree coverage. Well kept garden area. Lawn bowling club. Dog park area. Decent tennis courts. Grass fields. A few baseball diamonds and soccer fields. Variety of artwork, history, and playground equipment. Even an outdoor stage for performers and bands in the summer.

GaryRR47

Great park. The dog park could use better upkeep though

Bouteina Kadiri

Beautiful park like jardin bothanique in Montréal but its free to enter

Lesley Smith-Taylor

Park is beautifully kept and the dog park is a huge plus

Corey Ward

Went metal detecting here. Found many coins. 70s80s coin. I cleaned up nicely after myself of course. And took all the trash with me.

Mandy D

Very nice, clean and well maintained. Gardens are beautiful!

Russel Bairstow

Excellent park, good sized leash free area for dogs, superior controls on the gates to ensure dogs can't open them, plenty of benches near the leash free area, washrooms also close by.

zulfiqar mithani

Flowers are so beautiful and very well maintained

Evan Stevens

It's nice but underutilized. That old arena could be turned into a community sports complex. Indoor running track around a turf field. Get rid of that back baseball field that is useless and you have room for parking. Sarnia needs something like that.

Christelle Dory

Germain Park is so beautiful ???? omg nice place to go take pictures

Morgan Featherstone

Always beautiful!

Patricia Young

Awesome dog park but some people need to pick up after their dogs, my dog loves it here and knows when he's getting close by to it he gets very excited and gets crazy in vechice lol

Cheri Langlois (Langer)

Germain Park is actually nice it has 2 dog parks in it one for big dogs and one for little doggies.. I just think thats great

Macey Murphy

The fireworks tonight were incredible. Sat in the middle of the field and watched in every direction.

Tiffany Branton

The City of Sarnia has done some wonderful upgrading to the park. The fighter jet has been restored, there is a stage, Asian garden, a collection of exotic trees, and many different sports fields and play equipment. It's a popular place for wedding photography, walking, and more. There are four parking lots that allow easy access to the park. There are no washroom facilities.

J. Merr

Lots of different things to do here. They have baseball diamonds, soccer fields, tennis courts, jungle gym, fenced in dog parks (one half for bigger dogs and another half for small dogs), flower garden, and a memorial site for WWII featuring an airplane.

Kate Panzini

Cold and beautiful great day for large dogs at the park..

Karl Adamek

Beautiful park in central Sarnia. Has soccer fields, base ball diamonds, a play ground, a dog park and a beautiful garden to stroll through as well.

Jeff Daye

Park is fun for kids but the main park is always full of junkies

Sachin Devassy

One of the best parks in Sarnia

Patti Allan

End of the summer walk. Flowers were still beautiful

hellcat diablo

I wouldnt take my dog there! Too rough! My pooch would get seriously hurt being she is only 9 pounds.

Mike Jorgenson

A great mix of venues for all ages, beautiful gardens, soccer fields, ball diamonds all well kept with plenty of available left parking

LeighAnne Hipple

Beautiful park... has ball diamonds, soccer fields. ..lawn bowling...tennis courts. ..dog park. Great wedding ceremony venue

brad h

Well kept facility by SarniaFC with some help from the city. Needs a lighted field but still a good choice for kids soccer and more parking for easier exit than girls fields

Jackie W.

Beautiful park, we took a nice stroll through the different areas. Very well maintained. Thank you!

Shawn Nelson

Large greenspace, community gardens. With baseball diamonds and play equipment. Among other activities.

Amanda Benoit

Nice park, lots of baseball games. No paved paths for people with walkers or wheelchairs. They have to plow through the wet grass.

Nicolas Castro Pinto

This place is full of colors during summer. You will find very nice spots to take pictures.

Larry Douglass

It is beautiful park with with wonderful flower gardens and lots of room on lush green grass for kids to run, throw balls and such.

Hercules Rochester

This is truly a gem in the City of Sarnia. Germain Park is a family-friendly destination for baseball, volleyball, outdoor basketball or just a quiet picnic with friends or family. Germain Park is located in the heart of Sarnia. Situated in the same area as Bluewater Health, Northgate and Strangway, Germain Park is an ideal place for outdoor activities anytime of the year.

Stephen Baker

Nice place to walk around. Many different plants and flowers to see. Good place for kids.

Makayla Loucks

Home to the only known white squirrel (Pearl) in sarnia! Perfect spot to take a walk & get some fresh air. Always so many beautiful flowers & greenery- makes for great spot to take photos.

Al Robinson

Very nice place to visit . ????

Sarah D.

The Gardens are beautiful lots of bugs and butterflies in the late summer/fall

Matthew McDonald

A great gem in the middle of the city. The garden is great for walking in the summer. Plenty of green area to walk, and a modest play structure for the kids. Bring the dogs!

Lori Calcutt

I took the grand children here. We all had so much fun. We walked through the flower gardens and played at the playground. The kids loved it.

John Lademer

great place on my bike route, beautiful gardens

Molly O'Hara

Beautiful park quiet people are respectful of everyone

Bridgette Macdonald

Its alright. Lots to do but on the hot hot days there really isn't a lot of shade for people to comfortably watch the young ones do there sports. The heat has become increasingly smothering over the years and some shady spots would REALLY make the experience of watching out kids play games much better. Just a though

Dru Purnell

Great park in the middle of Sarnia. Multiple baseball diamonds, soccer fields, botanical gardens, play ground equipment, dog park with dual zones for small/senior dogs and the bigger more active dogs, public bathrooms. No bbq or picnic tables.

Ian Nicholson

Lovely flowers and walk.

MJG

Very nice park. I wouldn't say it's the nicest in the city but top 3 for sure. Lots of soccer fields, tennis courts, playgrounds, baseball diamond and a dog park. The flowers and landscaping here are top-notch in the spring/summer. Great spot for wedding or prom photos. My only negative is that this park needs fresh asphalt on the trails. Playgrounds could use a refresh as well. Other than that, great park. 4/5

gary mills

Very well attendant Battle of Britain would have been nice to have power maybe next year

Peter Larsen

Best dog park in Sarnia.

jon swe

A great place for family including man's best friend, dog's. Play equipment for kids, baseball diamonds, football(soccer) pitches, gardens, Lawnbowling, tennis courts, replica jet, theatre stages, paved paths for biking, scootering , rollerblading (skating), and of course 2 leash free dog parks. So much there i might have missed something but will edit if need be. There was germain skating arena &Jackson's pool but i believe they are closed for now. Just go&enjoy the central park of Sarnia,Germain Park, it's there for you. Fun is what you make& memories that will last. I have many fond memories coming here that span easily way over 30 years. Go make yours!

Nancy Meere

Took dog to dog park....I sat in car, double masked. Fun watching dogs play.
