Reviews of Old Mill Park (Tourist Attraction)

Deirdre Oake-Scott

Interesting, historical, and there's a play ground for the kids and a shelter. I found it more fun as a kid before they made it difficult to get into the mill... but I get why they had to. There's also a couple of Pokéstops and a gym if you're a Pokémon player...

Amanda Gray

Always a favourote spot for the kids and I to go for a little walk by the water.

It's an amazing place to hang out

Very nice park, perfect place for a quick lunch

This is my son’s least favourite park because even though it has a saucer swing, which he likes, he kept falling over when he swings on it, and it’s way too low to the ground! The ones in Logie Street Park and Rivera Park are better.

Derek “Doc Weedlaw” Francisco

Great relaxing spot to enjoy nature and appreciate the elements

Interesting historical artifact. Not much to see.

So peaceful with running water, lovely scenery

Tanya Eastman

Watching taking your young children there. The couple times I've taken my 3 yr old son and 4 yr old nephew I had to speak to the older teens hanging out, climbing all over the gazebo about their language and smoking weed there.

Charmin Eckertt

Would be a much nicer place to take children if there weren't large groups of teenagers hanging out smoking, drinking, swearing and fighting.

This would have been a 5 star review but for the fact the public washrooms were closed or semi closed? During the unseasonably warm 2020 November weather, when the public has been encouraged to engage in social distancing outdoor activities the municipality unfortunately stuck to the same old schedule of closing the public facilities on a preordained date. Might be time to operate the parks with more flexibility for the public benefit rather than for operations convenience. Reality was the ladies washroom had a garbage can propping the door open, water turned off and all members of the public using it.

Janis Russell

Beautiful place for a walk

The town has done an amazing job cleaning up that area.

Sarah Gilbert

Fun

Paulo Marques

Beautiful place to go for a walk. Lots to see and take photos of.

Rob Kearns

Great place for family

Thomas “Pip” Milne

Grass, shade, and a play area.

Amanda Jones

Lots of teenage troubles and garbage.

Tim Parsons

Decent enough Park, the City needs to do a better job of cleaning yp all the emtpy alcohol bottles etc and used Needles.

Iain Robson

A great little park for kids to play at and if you like boats it can be a great place to watch the boats go by. Also, it is a good place to start walking along the Scugog River because parking is plentiful. Additionally, it's on a bad place to go fishing either.

James Mccabe

Great place to visit picnic .walk your dog .do some fishing. Historic site

Wednesday June 23rd. 2021 My 1st visit to this beautiful park. City crew is still in the process of getting the park upgrade on few spots. Very close to local neighborhoods. Boat launch pad is well designed. Highly recommend to come and stroll around this beautiful park.

Madeline McGill

A lot of beautiful upgrades have been made by the city. Wonderful casual long walking trail..????????

Mrs Wannamaker

Beautiful Loved it a must see

Hello There

Nice spot for a walk. Great trail by the river.

jeannette myers

Great place for all ages

John West

Almost always tidy except during cottage season. Not going to fault my review due to ignorant city folk who come up to wreck the park for people who live here.

Lou Anne

One of my favorite spaces in Lindsay. The old mill is over grown now with shrubs trees & birds nesting inside the broken walls. Very majestic. You can’t walk around inside anymore but that’s only made it more beautiful when looking down through the barred windows. Very lively, right by the water. Perfect space for events, picnic or just chilling by the water <3

Jacob Dubeau

Gorgeous!

Tony Dalonzo

I took my family on a “Guess Where Trip” called butter tart trail. Although this has nothing to do with butter tarts it was a good way to start our day. Nice park my kids had fun. They really weren’t interested in the history. We hung around there for about a half hour.

Shaun Dixon

It's a park.

Jess Heath

Kids like it parking and trails and water and washrooms but there's slot of trash there

Sandrina Jn baptiste

Lovely place

Mack Cornell

Beautiful setting along the Scugog River. Great playground equipment. Nice pavilion and public washrooms. Would make a good spot for a family picnic. The structure of the old mill still stands and is a sight to see.

Henry Dening

What's the point of putting money into a water front and then not maintaining it. The water revitalization areas were full of garage. Graffiti all over the old mill structure. Garbage cans overflowing. Garbage everywhere. Lindsay is just not there yet. Too bad. So much potential.

Cbootcy

Calm nice river side park

Dan White

Nice place to walk or let your kids play. Lots of history here.

Anthony Chessman

Quiet spot but does have a play area for children that they seem to enjoy. Picnic tables under a shelter which is nice on a hot day. Beside the river so quite nice.

James Hadden

Nice open park area with playground equipment and boat docks. Not many slips for kayaks, however.

Kevin Derrick Photography

Nice downtown park over looking some old mills and the river.

David Kiezebrink

Nice for a walk with your family, or fishing of the lift locks in the evening

Tracey Mechefske

The boardwalk along the water is so beautiful and the remnants of the old mill makes for a great back drop.

James Seabrook

Nice paved trails along the river. Boat docks. Would be nice to ride a bicycle along it to explore more.

Django Dave

It's a park

Michelle Scott

The.best

Dan Larush

Great place

Juneth Ralston

Love this place so much so beautiful and brings back so many memories ????

Kaylee MacKinnon

It was an amazing park...and now there is 13-19 year olds doing drugs and smoking cigarettes... A lot of teens these days hangout there and swear and do drugs.... This is just sad especially because I am a 13 year old myself and just seeing teens and even some of my old friends behaving like this is disappointing... In my opinion parents of these teens need to care more for their children's health and behaviour... For parents who read this please don't take this offensive in anyway... I'm just speaking up cause no one else will...

TheWoodzyPlays

So historical

Lynda Dasilva

I was on the walk for Dogguides. Beautiful park. Lots if rest points. Clean, well maintained facilities.

Deb Simpson

Nice old Mill. A piece of our history.

Monica Vereana Williams (The Detangler)

Quiet and peaceful. A handful of covered picnic tables and a good size green space for sitting. A decent playground, including special needs equipment. The mill building is an interesting historical site.

kristine nolin

Too many teenagers doing drugs in the bushes and smoking cigarettes right beside the park intolerable. Can't even bring my daughter to have fun at the park with that happening around don't need her picking up a cigarette butt and putting in her mouth and God knows what else she could put in her mouth will not except that whats so ever not bringing my toddler there. Feel bad for the parents who bring there own kids there and deal with that.

Aaron Sloan

My wife and I went to this park for a small picnic. The park is located beside the river and has stunning views of the water and Trent Severn Waterway locks.

Melissa Perry

Great place for taking kids

Tash.0 T

vintage dolls 101

A great little park next to a river

Tracey Hicks

Nice clean and quiet

Newfie Led Man

great spot for a boat ride

Jan Walker

One of the kids favourite places to play. Great for toddlers. No swings. Lots of places near for adults to sit close by to keep an eye on the kiddies. Only downsides are the close proximity to river and close to downtown so lots of strangers coming through.

John Kirk

Nice river view.

James Patterson

Stunning piece of history. Great place for photos.

Bill Zhang

Amazing little park.

EatYourRice 18 (EatYourRice18)

Nice atmo here.

Norman de Bellefeuille

Lindsay is blessed with some good trails. The Victoria rail trail is a good walk but some parts can be buggy.

Old Mill Park is a great place to visit during the day. Stay away from it in the evening. Drug dealers and their customers abound at night

Dave Grayston

Grass was long . No place to sit and have a picnic

Seth Barrette

Very spacious and welcoming area for children, dogs, and adults alike.

Great place for kids to play. Parents can take a walk in and around. Also visit the lock.

Historic and scenic, a nice little park also!

Nice place. Good walking area and also picnic area and benches. For boats they have have a dock. Small children play area for kids to play. Small parking lot and it's free. This place is good for fishing too. Overall good family park and outside of crowded areas.

Candy Hon

Beautiful park, a very nice place for a stroll with the family. There's a playground nearby with lots to do for little kids. Unfortunately the water is a bit dirty at the boardwalk and there is a little bit of graffiti on the play structures, but not damaging enough to mar a visit to the park.

Finnegan Lefebvre

Clean, beautiful. Love the view of the lake!

Tyler Stanley

Its not a good place to be with the young ones. Drugs are being used there and its not maintained
