Reviews of McArthur Island Park (Tourist Attraction)

Desiree Morriseau

Beautiful park with great walking/jogging trails that gives you a variety of routes to take to keep each visit fresh. I also appreciate the bathroom facilities which are spread out throughout the park as well. The sports fields and …

Teri “Angel” Lowery

A very nice park to go for a walk and enjoy nature ????

Ken Smith

Always lots going on at Mc Park. The deer come around to browse on the new tree buds and grass while the ducks pair up for a snack along the path.

Janice Lawson

We enjoy McArthur Park, theRiver Trail and are regular visitors.

Allison Knights

Great park with accessible walking trails, gardens to explore, a phenomenal kids playground and a bring your own putter/ball mini golf course. Plenty of easy parking. We always love spending time here.

Mike Regan

Awesome zone, really well maintained. Golf was closed due to the flooding, so no thoughts on that... but really impressed with how green and clean the whole park was. (and sign says don't feed the marmots who are super cute and curious)

Diana Soto

Loved to see marmots and other animals ????

Platinum Autosports

Great place for walking and various other sports, many well maintained bathrooms spread around the park. It's a good place to see some local wildlife and get out there with the family.

Tathianna Yelland

Great path to walk along, good for training your littles to ride a bike or rollerblade. Large skatepark with Baseball & soccer fields, theres also a little Butterfly garden and marmits along the river too!! Lol

Michael Banman

Favourite soccer field complex to watch the kids play at. There are public restrooms at the clubhouse.

Colton Pinchin

Quickly and efficiently processed our paperwork. No issues here.

Brenda Moffat

Place was nice. Received from Ess bad.

Tim Conrad (timsbits)

Very fortunate to have such a huge space like this in the city. A long paved walking trail, Frisbee and miniature golf course, ball and soccer fields, a skate park, more marmots than you can count, beautiful views, lots of wildlife (especially deer), arenas, and special events like the drive-in theatre. Locally it's referred to as Mac Island, even though it's a Mc just like Fort Mac / McMurray. So people probably spell it wrong lots.

Darryl Abate

The best fields on earth

Konrad Bernhard Maria Schmid-Meil

Beautiful Park, keept in top shape, lots of flowers and wildlife. Many banches to rest, great for every age.

Andrea Zotelli

Nice and pleasant place to spend tome with kids and friends.

Kristina Stone

It's really big, there's a lot of things to do there you can totally make a day of it with family or friends for fun or alone for quiter enjoyments. There are multiple bathrooms around so that's always nice. Bring a bathing suit and towel in the warmer weather cause it's got river all around it.

Bobby Iio

Very grateful to have a facility like this in my city. It's got everything!

Steve Rautenbach

When when ever I visit family in Kamloops we head down to McArthur Park for a walk around the island. World class sports fields surrounded by nature. A trail, paved, around the perimeter takes you along the edge of the Thompson river. There is a lot of birdlife and you will definitely see marmots hanging out near the river bank. There is also a beautiful butterfly garden and fitness park.

Taylor McCallum

Mac Park is one of the nicest placest in Kamloops. The nature trail is underrated

Cindy Hewitt

Busy Hotspot nice to see nature in its natural habitat and people out enjoying the weather

Sobia Noreen

I would highly suggest going there at least once! It is not about video quality or sound, it is about the experience. Staff there was very good at giving directions and making sure you got a good spot. Rest is up to you to decide wether you want to watch movie or chat your ears off!! No one would know ????

Dean Powers

Extremely well maintained. Lots of soccer fields baseball diamonds paved Pathway to walk the perimeter of the entire park. Even in a wheelchair. Dogs are not allowed fortunately or unfortunately depending upon your viewpoint. Lots of trees and vegetative growth. Is Not Unusual to see deer grazing near the paved path. You can literally walk past them and they will not run away a lot of the time. There are also a lot of river views along the path. Marmots are also quite common and curious along the path. Benches with views of the river are scattered along the path as well. Individuals Jog and families walk and ride bikes around the park. People are friendly and usually wave hello as you pass them going the other way. We love it! Yes I almost forgot! There is a former 9-hole golf course that has been converted to a Frisbee Golf Course. And it is free. As well as a little mini golf course that is quite well maintained not fancy but fun. And it is also free. Bring your own balls in your own putter. Enjoy!

Lucas Auriemma

Great place for baseball! Very nice protected seating from the elements.

Wendy Johnston

Fantastic handling of the vaccine rollout for our city. With such great Nurse Practitioner's helping out too.

Edwidge Saint Ange

Beautiful place. Lots of activities at one time yet so big you don't bump into anyone. Great family place

Kim St.michel

I hadn't been there in a long time , but my best friend told me that the mini golf course was open for free! Someone had left s bag of clubs and balls there for people to play!! So thank you to the person that did that. You are awesome!!!

sailor Always

Fantastic facility

Dannie Cade

A little bit of so many things here that collectively it's one big amazing place to be.

Emery Giesbrecht

Just played the disc golf course for the first time. Short holes, but a great course. Definitely worth playing.

Cindy Nagel

Love walking around this park watching the ducks and marmots.

Max Powers

Great place with lots of games, clean and not crowded! Thanks for hosting the game.

Alan Smith

Very quiet.Nothing open but plenty of Mar mot's.Bonny place.

Amanda Piasta

Well kept grounds, but not a lot to do for toddlers as far as playgrounds and such goes.

Byron Noel

Great family friendly facility, that is widely used by the community. City parks department does a great job of keeping it clean. South West corner could use a little attention though, in terms of removing old concrete structures.

fisnik imeri

Great place for a peaceful walk just a few minutes from the busy city.

robert wilson

Great family fun park and clean and safe and people with smiles every where

David McAdam

First time here. Outstanding fields and support facilities. Congratulations on making a perfect environment.

J Hart

Nice park with skate park, paths, and butterfly garden. Only thing is no dogs allowed.

Stuart M. Bennett

This is a fabulous park! It’s a great place to go for a good walk. There’s lots of wildlife. Events take place here by the scores during most of the year.

Lsquared A

The place to come to meet overly social yellow bellied marmots:) The walking loop is about 5km so makes a good workout loop in the morning. A focus on sporting events is mainly what draws people. Speed limit is 30km..most people do 50-60km. So pay attention when on the road

Don Creighton

Great pair of arenas and good consession. We came from out of town for a tournament and were please with the seating and heating. Parking lot was a little put of sorts but that's what happens when it snows lots. I'm sure it's great in the summer

Violet

I go there for the pokestops and scenery ???? It's very pretty

Tyler Butzke

Mini golf was great and there are families of deer a d duck for the kids to see. Wonderfully multi use path for all to use.

Tatjanna J

I love this place is always entertaining. There's so many cute little creatures, baby geese, marmots you name

Cassie T.

Multi - purpose park, with fields for soccer, and baseball plus an Indoor baseball practice building and Baseball stadium. Lawn bowling, 18 hole free mini golf, disc golf and skateboard zone. There is also a section of outdoor gym equipment for strength n coordination. The arena has two full size hockey rinks with bleachers, curling area near front entrance and a concession stand which opens for games(after covid). Area upstairs for meetings n banquets. The pathway around the park is popular with walkers n cyclists. They are maintained year round. Boat launch on river side closest to arena, plus overnight camping for contained rv's n trailers. The real bonus is the amount of wildlife that also call McArthur Island home. Washrooms located at far end and by arena. Something for everyone.

realhoffman

Iain Warren

The disc golf course is incredible, a beautiful layout and user friendly.

Charlie Picken

Awesome park with many baseball ans soccer feilds. It also have a free mini golf course and disc golf course. The Disc golf course is the highlight for sure as it used to be a ball golf course.

Juli Harland

Visited the skate park with my little for her first day on her skateboard. She was nervous but excited. Everyone was super accommodating and respectful of one another's space. There was a great mix of young and older participants and the was no apparent segregation. My little and I had such a great time we'll be back regularly and with enthusiasm.

Katelyn Winston

Amazing for walks and sports. Only downside is at the end of winter you can't walk on grass without goose poop every square inch. Lots of wonderful wildlife besides! Deer, marmats, ducks, and goslings aplenty in the spring.

Brenda Duggan

Accessible, lots of parking, outdoor walking paths, outdoor exercise equipment stations, skate park, butterfly garden washrooms, disc golf and free mini golf BYOball and putter. Ball diamonds soccer fields and hockey arena ... lots to do and see for all ages and abilities.

Amanda Bichel

Such a great place to have accessible to Kamloops residents! Great little birding spots in there, and a really nice walk with lots of deer!

Chay Nali

New park by the disc golf course and mini putt course is amazing. Kids had a wonderful time and can't wait to go back again

Diane Kuchma

Lovely drive through or walk. Green fields, disc golf course, attended a drive in movie as well. Baseball diamonds, skate board park, playground, work out walk, hockey rinks and curling rink. Lots to do!

Mary Green

Think they should keep the drive in going all summer would be the bomb but great experience and everyone kept their distance.

CindyLou

We always see a ton of wildlife every time we go for a walk or bike there. Deer, owls, hawks and even turtles in the summer.

Joanna Lipnicki

Very nice place for picnics , sports and entertainment

Wendy Walsh

Its a beautiful park and love that its not from my place

Jennifer Rayla

Was a beautiful place to go for a walk, seen many deer.

James Chevrette

Awesome new park for the kids!

Deborah Loney

Great place for an autumn walk. Lots of wildlife including deer,geese,ducks,crows and marmots. The crows were busy with acorns today and that was quite entertaining. Saw evidence of fresh activity by beavers. We once saw one on the sidewalk and at first were unsure what it was, having never seen one out of water. All in all it was a wonderful day for a walk.

Shayla Foster

Beautiful place to take your kids. Rock throwing on the beach. Skate park. A playground for the littler ones. Even has its own bathroom facilities so no worries about having to hurry home.

Angie Machado

Spent ALOT of time here, for years, when my (now adult) boys played ball here. Still come with Hubby to get in a good walk! Great place for alot of family time, sport oriented or not. The dyke/walkway upgrade looks like its going to have lots of foot traffic :)

MR NUT

New playground at Mac Island! Some great new structures over by the mini golf. We managed to spend most of the morning here. Playground is well constructed and has multiple play areas. Logs, spikes, swings, slides and a great in-ground merry-go-round. Was a huge hit with the kids and we will be certain to return!!

Darcy Baxter

Great facilities, free mini golf. The family and I had a great time at the park.

Renae Kashino

So much to see Wildlife is out at night The Ducks are adorable & one of my favorite parks to visit

This park is huge, it is way beyond your expections, it has got a skaters park, many soccer fields, baseball fields and a unique disc golf place. It is a must try place for a picnic or biking or running. Disc golf is one of the most exciting sports this place has.
