Reviews of Dick Murphy Park (Tourist Attraction)

Russ Tovich

Perfect place to cool off or just take in scenery. Everything from mountains to water (ocean and river), including viewing boats or kayaks, along with wildlife, both in the air and water.

Nehemiah

A great place to just sit and chill. Or go for a walk. Watch the storms. Bird watch. Play with the kids at the park. Or watch the plane's take off and land.

Beautiful views of ocean and mountains.

Murrz Goldn

Everywhere in Campbell River has magical quality thanks to the ocean skirting its main highway through town. All the beaches support life and have an abundance of foliage. Tread lightly!

Moira Coward

Always a great place to walk, the pathway is level and you can't go wrong with the scenery.

Megan S

Great place to walk.

Mona Gallant

Such a peaceful place to get grounded, spend some time by the water, say hi to the family of ducks (ha). Occasionally watch a school of baby seagulls learning to fly 3 inches above the water. We fly a kite as long as it's not busy.

Nice place to chill

Mare Wright

Wildlife, boats, ships, great place to walk or picnic!

Krista Hack

Such a privilege to be able to use this beautiful park, it would be even better if dog owners were responsible and picked up THEIR pets poop with the bags provided (no excuse) so others using the park don't step in it or so other dogs don't roll in it as some like to do etc. It was great to see so many out walking, we really do live in paradise! Beautiful BC, Beautiful CR❣️

Gavin Duncan

Helen Edley

This is a lovely urban park with water on three sides. The trails and benches are delightful. We also read every detail on all the interpretive signs and learned about the history of the area. Free parking and doggie bags were plentiful.

Ken Fisher

City of Campbell River does a very poor job of maintaining this precious land as a park. The access road go from wide to narrow without warning signs. Yet big RVs use it to visit the RV Park. Road surface has many potholes. The side gravel soakers have many big pot holes in need of grading. There is no playground 30km sign leaving the park. Cars & motorbike turn at the last parking area then boomerang out of it at very high speed making speed bumps before the playground and RV Park neccessary. Also needed at these spots are crosswalks with flashing lights. Some day if the city doesn't widen the access road a vehicle will catch the curb mount the sidewalk & kill a pedestrian or run over a family with little children trying to cross the road at the playground or RV park to go walk their dog. This is the most frequented park in the city, yet it at time looks so worn down & unsafe.

Wes Tami

It is pretty nice park

Harry w

I love this place. My wife and I regularly drive down here from home just to walk around "The Spit" path, and visit with all of the birds and wildlife. The Campbell River Estuary always has something new to watch, from eagles to seals to the little Tyee fishing boats (August every year) to helicopters, float planes, canoes and kayaks. There is a nice playground for kids, and the sunsets are great. Pretty much heaven on earth.

Lorie MacDonald

Scenery at the park is amazing people enjoying the walk children riding bikes planes helicopter fly by. Birds eagles perch on tip of tree. A senerity place to be

Lois Mackinnon

Wonderful view and clean

Ron Van Pelt

Nice park, good parking and paved walk. Kiddies park too plus facilities. Recommend

K Carlson

Beautiful park for walking and riding. The paths are immaculately kept and the area is very clean. With a beautiful view of both the estuary and the strait its a great location for photography and sightseeing. A large variety of birds in this area makes it a bird watching paradise. A local park for the kids is a great addition as well. Plenty of free parking is a giant advantage. A local gem in Campbell River.

victoria smith

There was so many different kinds of birds today, alot of turkey vultures

Wayne Pernu

Our preferred area for walking. Very scenic. The ocean and Quadra Island, the coast mountains on one side of the spit and the Campbell River estuary with it's abundant waterfowl on the other side. Plenty of benches available to sit and revel in the beauty of nature and its myriad creations.

Plessa Walden

This small park has picnic tables, a bench and an amazing view of the ocean. Steps down to the rocky beach let you walk along the shore or out towards the water during low tide. The only draw back is the awkward parking lot which is more challenging for large trucks.

Corinne Ross

A lovely place to walk and pretty views of river and ocean.

Matthew McDonald

Great place to spend a hour or 2, enjoyong the weather
