Our pup loves this park and the whole family enjoys walking on the paths across the stream. Quiet and beautiful. Cricket on Sunday in the summer in the front field.

Derek Webster

Wonderful small conservation area right in the heart of the Cambridge. An oasis! Gemreay place for a romantic walk or to get away and bushwhack or walk some trails. There is some older geocaches there as well

Evan LeBlanc

Its a beautiful park very vast in size. But its pathway is not wheelchair friendly or Walker friendly so be prepared for a healthy challenge if you are like me in a wheelchair ❤

Margarita Cañete

Daniel Gil

Great place to take your dog for a walk there are a few kilometers of trail.

Barbara Ashworth

This is one of our favourite little picnic spots. It has a few trails to go on, it feels like it's not even in a city. Cute little spot for a mini hike, picnic, family fun or photo op

AbdelRahman Elsayed Morsey

Very nice trail. Big open field. Apple trees grew here. Found a big turtle to my surprise!

Dan Proulx

One of the nicest park in Cambridge. This would be a great place for a leash free dog park. Mr. Hilborn would approve. GRCA: Please keep this park open year round! I shouldn't have to park on the road to make use of this place. Thank you Mr. Percy Hilborn for having the vision and the foresight to purchase the land from 1916 to '67, which you donated to the people of Ontario with the provisos that it be allowed to remain wild. Thank you Babcock & Wilcox Canada for funding the maintenance of the park.

Gayle Goldstone

What a beautiful spot. Right in downtown Cambridge.

Shawn Ryan

This a beautiful place to take a walk through nature. At the front there is a large field that people play games on. There are many trials to go around with trillium's and other plants to look at it. I was in there for an hour and didn't see the whole place. If you enjoy a nice hike through many paths I would suggest going here. It looks like it would be a great spot to bike too.

Christy Caskenette

I love this place. It's such a nice forest oasis in the middle of the city. There's so many different paths to explore. You could spend as little or as much time as you want in here. The dog and I are big fans and it's super close to us so we're here pretty much daily. I highly recommend!!

Marble Sharp

Quiet, surprisingly big, a real hidden gem

Linda Prudhomme

Not too many people come here to play，It is a good place. However, I saw a coyote here, Not sure if it might be dangerous to me. I just run away with bun bun

Валерий Абаев

It is seams to be closed for the car entry at winter but still beautiful

Tony Bercowski

Beautiful place to go for a walk with nature right here in the city. Be careful at night though, that's when the coyotes come out a hunting. The have to eat too and they were here first.

John B

Once you get on the trails you realize it goes on forever and ever. Nice little inner city getaway.

Gourmetby Dona

Pleasant but boring

Nina C

Clean upkeep, great main trails (stay to the right not left when first entering) - needs a dog bag dispenser and would love to see signs for history of the conservation

Abraham Lee

Gorgeous spot! Lots to explore and hike through, not difficult at all

Solange

A small conservation area with trails that are great for walking the dog. A small parking lot which is usually not too full. It could be a great place for a family picnic. Nothing special, just a nice green space with some short trails, a couple of fields and a few picnic tables. I really like the new walking/cycling path that runs along side the park on Dunbar Rd.

Sandy R

This place is Serene and nice I love the walking trail and such a great area for the kids to play around. We enjoyed alot. Take our dog for Walking. Cool breeze pleasant surrounding. I wish to go there again with my family and friends and suggest this place.

Nice place

Was a spur of the moment visit as we were in Cambridge. Well maintained, quiet and relaxing, but there was no shade along the pathways and we visited around 1:30 pm in the summer. Nevertheless, I would like to make a longer visit next time.

Great walking path, very peaceful.

Andre Truffi

Really beautiful for a walk through the woods, never knew how close nature was to where I live. Definitely recommend, however I wish they would clean up near the trails more, quite a bit of trash especially near the creek ravine

Gina Ramsay

Beautiful Park like setting with lots of trails to choose from for a hike. Mosquitos get ravenous as the sunsets...so bring your bug spray :)

Shirley Forde

A great place to go for a nice walk in the city. On my walk today, I saw a deer hiding out. Many different trails to explore.

Mike Wright

Fun open spot. Our dog Piper was loving running through the fields. Not sure that would be possible in the busier season when there are more dogs and people.

Kyra Pope

Underated place with great hiking trails???? Encompassing a plethora of diverse ecosystems, with many species of trees and a beautiful Creek running right through the middle!

Alex West

Some nice forested spots and creek to meander beside. Particularly nice for a walking bread during working hours!

Awesome park 2 bad about all the junkys leaving needles as of lately so thats why not a 5 star rating please beware of needles and sketchy looking people

Fun walk on the trails today. I had time to kill while waiting for my car to have an oil change so I went for a stroll to find a geocache. I didn't find the cache but it was a nice quiet walk along the trails.

Mike L

Great place for hiking, walking the dog and exploring the bush. A little gem right here in Cambridge.

Vinee Vaid

Great place !!

Megan L

Nice area to walk/ run. I enjoy coming here in the mornings, never seems too busy and it's a nice getaway for being in the middle of the city. As much as I enjoy coming here for walks I wouldn't come here after dark again. First few times my boyfriend and I have come at dusk and once went through to get to the YMCA with no issue. Unfortunately one night two people in hoodies ran at us so it was a bit unsettling. I've also seen sketchy people hiding off the trails (this was also near dark) homeless people also sleep/hang out in here from time to time, which whatever but I've also come across a ton of garbage and junk they left behind. Again, most of the time it's a beautiful area without issues.

Sumudu Lankatilake

Cricket groung

Sophiep Tran

Mostly for cricketers as there's a large open field where they come to practice or play fairly regularly. Some small trails to walk through with the kids and tables to have a meal. Which is what we did. We often buy food from around the area and due to the restrictions on indoor dining, decided to eat outdoors. This is a perfect location for that, during warmer weather. It's centrally located, close to conveniences but is small and sparce. If you have young children bring your own fun, have a picnic and let them play in the field.

Mark Sharkoff

Walk in the bush is medicine for life !

Pratik Shukla

Nice place to sit and relax.

Jae Williams

Gorgeous place. Good for the kids. Nice trails.

Mathieu Courchesne

Good spot for a nice walk

Eric Hayton

It's a conservation area surrounded by some of the busiest areas of Cambridge. A great spot to walk a dog or converse with homeless people ;-)

V A

Please carry a bug spray if you’re planning on taking a hike through Dumfries. On the other hand, it was a wonderful experience taking the trail with so many species/ecologies to explore. Loved it.

Bronson 006

It's a great open area that's relatively quite (good for escaping from technology and urban life for a few hours).

Nice, short trail system that goes through a few different forest types. Not a difficult trail for the most part but there are a couple of steep sections that could be difficult for people with mobility problems.
