Reviews of Bear Creek Eco Park (Tourist Attraction)

Sebastian

Very nice little park, we seen a turtle, garter snake ???? & some ducks! Cute little oasis in the middle of Barrie

Robert Schwarz

An easy walk on a boardwalk to see a bit of nature in a marsh in action. Its interesting to see it change with the seasons.

Sebastian Kowalski

Beautiful place to visit

Sara Stoner

I personally love it. It is the perfect place to go for a walk or just sit and enjoy nature

A quiet and lovely escape...watch out for poison ivy along the trail!

Clair Robertson

What a little hidden gem found right in the city. Convenient parking off of Ferndale which leads to walking paths, suitable for all age levels, to a board walk that goes right through the wetlands. This path then leads to another larger path that continues past the wetlands on the one side and a seperate pond area on the other. Great little outing for young children. Lots of geese, ducks, and various other birds and wildlife with easy to negotiate walkways.

Mike B

Saw 5 turtles, family of ducks, and numerous toads.

It's a short trail which includes a boardwalk through the pond. It offers a peaceful oasis in the middle of the city.

Fynn Touchette

One of the best areas to see nature around here!

Chris Fawcett

Very nice open area with a boardwalk to watch the geese and ducks. Lots of rest areas along the main path and a nice open area inside the forested area.

Jason D

Turtles turtles turtles. Kids love the frogs and turtles. Great place for a quiet walk.

Kate Lillie

This park is beautiful! It's amazing to be able to walk through the wetland on the floating boardwalk. So many animals call this place home - it's nice to see they've been able to stay even though this place is in the middle of the city.

JulieeBabyy xo

Cute little trail never been super busy. April/may has been great to go - less bugs!

Markus Hess

Great place to see loads of frogs, painted turtles and enjoy a walk on trails and a bit of a boardwalk.

Mary-Jayne Priest

Nice trails and it also has a boardwalk.

Jason Williams

Cute little spot in Barrie, didn't explore much but was happy to see the water fowl in the small ponds. Glad to see it was very clean. Cheers!!!

Katherine Lyubchenko

At this eco-park there are turtles, ducks, frogs, dragonflies, sometimes very small fish, and lots of bunnies!! The forest trails are good. There are noticeable large tree roots in the ground, but they’re not too bad. A nice place for a walk with the dog, not recommend to let them run off-leash. Deeper into the forest we discovered a small clearing with lots of lily pads! The bridge leading across the marsh is fairly clean. This is one of the best natural places in Barrie to watch sunsets, just make sure to bring bug spray!!

Kim Doucette (Kimburlee)

I love this park. Got to see a Blue Herring, and a Loon hunt for fish. And I love the boardwalk through the water. I could spend hours here just watching all the wildlife.

Xyklorix

It's really nice and somewhat peaceful; except for the kids catching turtles here when there's clearly signs that say not to bother the wildlife.

Scott

Amazing natural wetland

Nice park too bad people littler fast food garbage all over

Robert Tinkess

One of the hidden gems inside Barrie. Free parking too!! Just don't tell the Mayor...he will take care of that in a heart beat. That aside this really is a great place to stroll. If you have young children, do take them here.

John Rosart

Walk and birds, turtles and other wild animals.

Nice walk. Short trail.

ohjeez.

金玫Barrie 华人地产经纪 Mei Jin

The park is not big. It's very quiet although it's beside a busy street. The well built boardwalk is over the wetland. The lookout square is nice for kids to watch ducks, goose, frogs and turtles. There is a short trail along the river. It's very beautiful in fall. One-way parking is free. It's need spring clean up.

Malik Hinds

Nice eco pond, however if you wonder off into the woodlands, the bugs will eat you alive.

Diana Harper

Jennifer Olver

It's great for a quick walk, very buggy, swampy, and a bit busy.

matt dmy

A nice stroll along a boardwalk and trails around a marshy area. A great place for a small stroll with to check out local wildlife. Lots of turtles, frogs, and bird spotting to be had. A nice local escape from an increasingly bustling City.

Beautiful, quiet and small for short walks.

Lesley Head

Serene and noisey with birds. Turtles, rabbits and fish

Random little marshy park in the middle of Barrie. Tons of wildlife here - a variety of birds, snakes, frogs, and insects! The Canada Geese can be somewhat volatile - be careful. Some little trails in and around the ponds.

Brittany Decaire

well maintained trail , little garbage . seen turtles , fish & some colorful birds.

(Translated) I felt so thin. (Original) 썰렁한 느낌~ 사진 이뻐서갔는데 ㅠㅠ

Kelly Bourgon

Its really dry right now beary any water love this place

Randi Graham

I wish there were some signage on the trails, as it was not really clear where to walk. And it looked like other people had made new trails. Although there was no charge, I would've paid just to have better marked trails and signs. I was disappointed.

Steve Handley

Nice short walk through the eco park. Would be perfect in the summer when wildlife is teaming.

Deb Godin

This park is very small and should be extended to the other side of Ferndale.

Chris Ballantyne

Little gem of a boardwalk in the middle of Barrie. See all kinds of birds.

Russ Aldebert

I took my granddaughter for a hike, which she certainly enjoyed, through the park and saw many birds and flora that she enjoyed. It was well kept and clean.

Rob Cumaha

Plenty of turtles, frogs, and ducks to see!

Only show in town, bought gas that was way too expensive. I guess when you're the only show in town, you can charge what you like.

Trevor McNabb

It was dark

rob trybuch

Beautiful park in the heart of the city!
