Reviews of Centeen Park (Tourist Attraction)

Sean McNamara

Very nice park. We visited during the Tall Ship Festival.

Susan

A great place to view the ships and water craft go by. Great place for scuba diving too! A few shipwrecks and under water statues too!

Annette Petit

Great place to dive in river. My dog loves to swim there.

Cody Barr

Great spot to dive with scuba or free. The docks provide a great view and sitting area with minimal traffic from the roads. Area can get loud during the weekend with many power boats and families but is a great place to have lunch or do some meditation during the evening and week.

A great place to cool down in the summer. You can sit on a bench and watch the water, jump in or use the convenient stairs to walk into the water.

Beautiful view of the St Lawrence and if you're into scuba you don't wanna miss this place. Get there early in the summer as it fills up quickly!!

A great place to visit in brockville

Amanda Lloyd

My third favourite park along the river in Brockville, the other two being St Lawrence Park & Blockhouse Island. This park has more open space than the others, so I'd good for dogs & children & games. It's also a popular spot for divers to train & start exploring the shipwrecks just offshore, as well as for young people to go swimming. There is no beach but is a staircase with metal railings leading into the river, & ladders along the wharf in the deeper area. I have not done these activities yet myself. This park is located on the quieter east end of Water Street beside The Exevutive condo building. It is a common spot for big ships or cruise boats to dock up, particularly during waterfront events & Tall Ships Festival which occurs every 2-3 yrs (there have been 4 ships festivals so far since 2013). In autumn I enjoy taking photos of the park when the trees turn colour.

Linda Caldwell

Nice to see the new..additional steps into the water...very clean..not very busy yet.Best is the view!

Andrew Knight

Wonderful park. One end of the Brock Trail that runs along the waterfront and through the city. Great place for swimming (no beach) and diving. Very diver friendly with at least one dive shop close by. Seasonal washrooms on site. Deeper water for larger sea craft with hookups.

Philippe Coyte

Great dive park. Nice for a walk or picnic too

roberto battello

If you're a scuba diver, there is great Shore diving in Centeen, and if you're a tech diver, there's a small wreck some 500 meters from shore, or, your can swim deeper in the shipping channel.

Lorraine Perron

Lovely visit realy lovely place for family

Dave Steele

Great for swimming and watching fireworks

Penny Kirkby

We attended last night's Captain's Reception and even though the music was great we were truly disappointed with the lack and selection of finger foods. We would have been better to have spent the money on a dinner cruise aboard the Empire Sandy.
