Reviews of Glenridge Quarry Naturalization Site (Tourist Attraction)

Shawn Jackson

Good walking trails that loop back around to one another. No shelter and exposed to the elements, so bring appropriate gear.

Chuck Fluri

Nice trails. No tics.

Larry Vanstone

Lots of walking trails and interesting play areas for the kids.

Patrick

Great place to go for a walk or run. Lots of different levels of hiking in and around the quarry. Also a great place to bring a dog. And there's playground for the kids too. Definitely worth checking out.

E C

I enjoyed the trails and the fresh air. Would have never guessed underneath the grass is a mound of garbage. Glad we could restore the appeal to this so called "dump". Fun times in the kits.

Darshan Mistry

Beautiful park to walk through, especially in the morning

Taghi Farmani

I love this place. I usually go to have my mental breakdown.

Kat Crow

This is a large bowl shaped park in the middle of the city near Brock university. It's free and so is the ample parking. I was disappointed by the lack of picnic tables. The trails are mostly grassy and not a lot of trees, but it's interesting seeing nature reclaim this spot.

Tammy Kingston

This is a beautiful place to go for a walk. And see different types of birds and fish..

Adam Caverhill

Beautiful hike, unique in that while it's firmly in nature there's almost no trees making a nice hike of rolling hills. Great views of the city, some surreal structures.

Paramvir Singh

Pretty nice place for biking or even for a walk. Terrian is even with high and lows which makes biking fun. Lake provides a great view to look at!

Aldo Sano

Nice place to walk & breath good air

DJ Wright

Nice place to ride gravel bikes, walk dogs, family hikes

Rahul Kumar

Great walking place

Julien Faucher

Unfortunately, some folks let their dogs defecate on paths and don't clean it up. Otherwise, a beautiful place for a walk and quiet contemplation.

Quiet walk in nature

Beautiful, wide open space with lots of nature. We love exploring this site and seeing the wildlife that lives there.

Jeff B

Really enjoyed my first visit to Glenridge Quarry. I went mountain biking with my girlfriend on the trails and we really enjoyed ourselves/views. We even got alittle close and personal with a couple deer. Will definitely be returning. The main trail could use some markers but it is what it is.

Tim G.

Not much to see here but pleasant enough.

Bryan Fernandez

Great spot for picnics, walking or jogging

Great place to walk in the winter time too.

Inderjit S

This is nice and quiet place not far from the city. There are few trails which are clean and educational. There is a pond and a wooden deck with some benches to enjoy that quiet moment. Fishing is not allowed. It is a large area and I have not explored it yet but soon I will go there and update.

Siddharth Pathak

A nice quite place right behind the quarry view residence of brock university. The place has educational set up where children can come and learn about different atmospheric and geographic phenomena. It also has a hill from which you can actually see most parts of St.Catharines.

Sara Scott

Great off reading trails, not great for a regular stroller. I needed my jogging stroller with larger wheels.

sweetpea gauthier

the place is nice but as all good yhings go people have over taken this tranquil piece of nature snd turn it into a dumping ground and dog park - thete is a by law to leash dogs but very few do - urs out of control out thete

Catherine P E

Nice place to walk

Luisa Falletta

First time here, it was a good clean, pretty clear path for hiking. There's several different paths that lead up to the same area or centre of it. You won't get lost. Cool view of the pond area and people go there for skating around this time. It was nice to see.

Pyro Creeper

Nice walk with many trails and bike paths

Mike Gr

Great place for hiking fishing see deer wild turkey

Joe “CJ”

Wamae Gichuru

Great lookout point

Ryan Desittere

Nice place to spend great time

A beutiful spot to watch the sunset at the top of the hill. It is winter, so other than St Catharines far away, there is not much to see

Kyle Lambing

Great place to walk, Science area for kids, and plenty of things for Pokemon GO

Chris Notar

Great place. Nice and quiet and relaxing.

Atreya Basu

My kids call this the Rainbow park. They love the displays set up and the different physical pieces. Some of the displays are broken however.

Karen Kleine Deters

Great place to walk... Trails are a bit icy right now, so have to take care.

Davina Boerefyn

Nice trails but just a little bit smelly

Darren Carey (Darebearzzz)

Well maintained by the region, lovely place to walk the dog!

Great place to walk or ride your bike even good for beginners!

Nick Sturk

Fun!

Tyler Rutherford

A little confusing to navigate but cute space!

Rachel Stoykovich

Nice little gem where you wouldn't expect there to be a spot for solace in the city.

Leah R.

Recreational space for families, kids, dogs, cycling, walking, nature viewing!

Heather Wubs

This is a great place for an easy hike. The paths are well maintained and are quite extensive so you won’t be stuck to taking the same walk every time you go. The childrens play area isn’t what it used to be but there’s still fun to be had there. I love heading to the pond to see all the fish.

Jessica Derzak

Great place to walk

Scott dePass

It is a great area to get away and clear your head. The paths are well maintained and it is very clean. A regular location to go for a walk after work

Peter Pottinger

Theres a little lake you can fish at!

Kevin Moore

Beautiful!

Kyra Moate

The kids love going here - the children's learning area is perfect for them, and the trails are very child friendly

Jordyn Leppard

Great place for a walk, especially if you have babies. The path is great for strollers or early walkers. They also have a kids nature area with tunnels, informational boards about the weather, play spots. At the back, there's a nice fenced dock to feed the fish and birds. There's also a gazebo with picnic tables. There are usually a lot of dogs here, but almost always on leash. There's not a lot of cover from the sun, cover up and bring sunscreen! The full loop probably takes about 2-3 depending on your speed.

Dan & Nancy Andrews

There are a few well hidden homeless encampments at the West end of the Park but it is remarkably clean. I was very displeased to see no fishing signs near the pond. A sign warning of toxic fish and catch and release only would have been more appropriate. The pond is teaming with catfish and is a great place for children to learn angling as long as they catch and release. The park also needs a lot more trees along the trails. Savannah is a very important habitat also but this is a long wide open park for a hot summer day. They have some cool sculpture and items around the children's playground. Overall a pleasant place to visit but still nowhere near a natural area.

Patty Park

Went out for a walk here for the first time with the kids and loved it!

Derek Hounslow

Best hidden gem... I've driven past this place for 20 years... Told about from a friend as it's huge and easy to social distance during covid... Kids love it.. Always very little people.

Sheldon Macdonald (Shelcase)

Used to spend a lot of time here at night

Caleb Moffett

Great for walks or jogs, couple different structures for children to play on and around, nice pond and the Bruce trail cuts through a section leading to a nice mountain bike trail, definitely check out this spot!

Jeremy McMaster

Nice place to go on a hike. That said, stay on the gravel paths. Ticks are everywhere in the long grass.

Lord Open

A very nice place for a hike.

Delaney Hansen

Nice trail with lots of options and different paths!

TriloTigger

Great place for a short nature walk, very popular with dog walkers. Just stay to the gravel paths and check over your dogs before you head home because there are definitely ticks in the grass

Gregory Betts

Some lovely walks.

Paul Timothy

Great place for a nice quiet hike on easy trails! Take your dog for a nice hike also!! ❤️????

Jenny Daniels

Great local spot to get out, safely, and get moving. Trees, birds, and trails are all in abundance.

Iain Simons

Nice walk about

Matt Fesnak

Dece paths. Flooded parking lot most of the year

Stephan Gillet

Nice walking trails

Kelley Evans

Easy scenic walking. Location is in town with great trails. A map of route options is conveniently located at the start, and parking is available. Have an hour or so? It's worth the visit

Aaron Belding (thatABDguy)

Awesome park located behind the student residences and Shaver hospital on the mountain. Educational interactive pieces for the kids along with great scenery and hike path for all.

Swithin Pais

Quite peaceful park with decent trails, keeping in mind that the trails lack adequate foliage so avoide visiting on hot sunny days unless you're fine with that. There's sufficient parking for about 20 to 30 cars. Still a lot for me to explore.

Adrian McNair

Great place to bring the kids for a soft hike always good to get out and stretch the legs in the evening!!

Daniel “DankDruid” Fenning

15 years ago, it was a dump... Not its an Eco Park. Very nice upgrade, if you ask me!

Robert Graham

Great place to walk the dog but it is still a little muddy. As with all places that have tall grass check your dog for tics

Rachael Johnston

Excellent place for a hike. Small boardwalk with lots of Barn Swallows.

Charles Voth

Easy "hike". Nice surroundings.

Nikhil Rajput

Great place for a walk and pokemon go. Tons of gyms and people don't take them often so u can have pokemon last days especially on the hill gym

Paul Apking

Great place to hike!

Ted Rietveld

Nice

Daniel Fenning

Once a Municipal landfill, now a beautiful eco park

Henry Zwolak

Coming here, is to escape the city. Yet,you're still in the city. Walking here with your kids, with your pets, or significant others, is a pleasure. The trails are everywhere. There is a beautiful pond here ( no fishing), that you can sit beside and enjoy. If you walk to the highest point, you will be rewarded with a great view of lake and Toronto in the distance. This is another one of St.Catharines best kept secrets.

CoCo Shonell

Beautiful outdoor scenery. Had an amazing walk and enjoyed the pond as well

Debb Wayland

Beautiful space for a walk, fine gravel trails, gentle rolling hills, awesome deck to look out over pond, playground with theme for kids, and did I mention the Naturalization areas? I walked on a rainy fall day, which ended up being more misty. So glad I explored there with a friend...plan to return and explore another trail segment. Fall colours are beginning...

Alex Tran

Great place for walking, jogging, hiking, and biking.

Rob Salewytsch

Great place for a walk or a little bike ride. Has a connection to the Bruce Trail for those longer hikes.

Michael Watson

Pretty tidy considering....

Dave Manners

It is a beautiful place to walk & take photos or just sit & enjoy. I thought it was very well kept, I shall visit again.

Tommy Tile

Fish in pond

Adam K

Great walking trails

Yousif Jabarah

My favorite place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend going for a walk here either at dawn or before sunset. Suitable for kids and adults.

Adam Moreau

Great place to go for a walk and enjoy the weather. Nice views, great little water area to see birds, toads, catfish. Please treat it all with respect.

Caleb Booker

Wide open fields, big duck pond, access to the Bruce Trail along the top of the escarpment. Only downside is the highway noise.

Theresa Solomon

A relaxing walk with beautiful scenery. I spent the afternoon taking photos and walking Rylie. There is a very scenic place to sit and rest as well. It is a pleasure to see how well kept it is. Love this place!

scott barnsley

Nice view of Niagara.. Can easily see Toronto from the peak on a clear day!

Hendrik Van Harn

Unexpectedly pleasant respite in the city. Watch our for ticks.

Rachael Nalunga

It was beautiful both in the fall and early winter. The routes are very manageable and aren’t too step- though some of them are more of a challenge than others. In the winter there weren’t as many people so a lot of space to yourself. Provides a scenic view with which you can make as many memories as possible. You can bring dogs along and they seem to enjoy the walk a lot.

Theavy K

Really nice trail. Long trail, wide path with rocks as base. Little kids discovery area. You can make the hike as long it as short as you desire. Not really any trees for shades. Nice look out point. limited parking. Lots of ticks there so stay on the path and away from tall grass. Noticed about a dozen on both my dogs combined. It would be worth 5 Stars if it had more trees and NO TICKS!!!

Mark Denee

Great place for a walk on good paths. Awesome views of Niagara and beyond from the summit.

Alexander Preiss

Really nice restored area that makes for a great walk. The trails are well maintained and are clean, and include a pond, children's area, and observation point. Just make sure to keep out of the grass, as ticks are very common here.

justine busken

Beautiful place, great for pokemon go!

Michelle Chan

This is such a nice place to de-stress and walk around. There are a few different trails here you can take and a nice little pond full of fish and different wildlife.

Guenter D

Awesome place. I walked it today.

Randy Mitchell

An awesome place to visit! Great for pictures, but it's sad to see how much damage has been done to the kids science area. Would be great to see it with a fresh coat of paint and the informational signs fixed.

Janine Lagundzin

Good walking area

Jeff Rice

I really really really like this place come back as much as I can and I live in Niagara falls very peaceful with lots to see

Nikki Clix

Great naturalization site. I wish there were more signs and maps to explain the path routes when you're on them.

Zelda

cute place to take a walk. nice pond with lots of cats. no fishing :’(

EBS solutions

Go to spot for all weather hiking. Pond area is a great place to sit and relax. All types of birds come here. Drown out the stress of life with their songs.

Hilary Visser

Amazing trails to walk or run! A small playground if you have young kids. Great for walking the dog - lots of friendly people always around. The quarry is fantastic if your dog likes to jump in the water chasing a ball or stick. A great place to sit and relax as well.

Alicia D

Love takong kids and dog here they provide poop bags. Theirs tons of gwocashing there as well as a cool tunnel structure kids can play and run through near the rainbow park. Great place to visit!!!

Great gravel trails with a nice sized hill in the middle. Easy walking or running.

Elaine Robertson

You should be careful when going down or riding for the waterfall. I hope to make a stairway to ride and get off for emergencies or even to make it easier for people

Beautiful picnic areas with great trails for dog walking.

Ryan Huurman

Good walking trails. Not challenging at all. Nice overview of the City.

Great place to escape for a bit and forget about life and take a walk around nature. Great for sunsets stop the big hill there

Nice, beautiful trail

Emily -Rose Fenton

Very large trail lots to look at

james kelly

Great large pond for Winter skating

Larry Coplen

Always a great place to take the dogs for a long walk.

Bronwyn Hildebrandt

Great place for a stroll or hike. Perfect for young families with strollers, wide flat trails and activity area for children to play...also a pond with a board walk. Trails also go up and over large manmade hills of dirt for a more challenging workout. At the far end of the park the trail connects with the bruce trail and can be hiked through the woods towards Brock University...something for everyone. Perfect place for some activity followed by a coffee or food from the near by fast food restaurants. Enjoy.

Rachel Fraser

A fun area to hike around. You feel as though you are miles from the city. Though parking was hard to find and everywhere we tried seemed to have tow away signs.

Stephen Ellis

Spectacular views! Great place for walking

Kevin MacDonald

Nice fields. Good place to explore. Maybe not a lot of exciting things to see, but it is a peaceful area.

Ana Wang

Easy walk but nothing much to look at. Right beside the highway.

Valerie Smith

Nice place for a long walks. Sometimes in the evening you can see some deer..no fishing..

Becky Fitzgerald

Nice place to walk dog

Courtney

Beautiful place to go for a walk. There are numerous trails of varying heights to walk, cycle or run on. I can't wait to go back in the summer when the landscape is greener and to explore more paths.

Sean Shields

Great place to hike, relax and play pokemon go.. Can be a little skecthy weekend nights in warm weather. Some students like to drink and party down there but never had any problems myself.

Fizz Kitchen Sassafras

Wonderful naturalization site to walk with pets or family.

Norm Frick

Nice trails. A good nature walk

Ray Lynch

In and out Friendly staff

A really nice place to have a walk

Chris Bouillon

Beautiful hidden hiking trail with many paths and quiet views. Definitely a hidden gem in the heart of Niagara!

Salma Bakr

Such a fun place to spend a couple of hours with kids, or go for a peaceful walk/run. It’s stroller-friendly with nice trails, an educational area for kids, a pond with lots of geese and fish, and a wildflower meadow.

Kimberly Willard

Great for nature walk run into to deer lol everyone who walks there is friendly lots of different level walk paths

Erica Porter

Love this park! BUT unfortunately the people who come to this park, thinking it's an off leash dog park, make it very unwelcoming.

debbie biro

Have no idea as I have never been here before,or even know what it's all about. But go any way and make your own adventures.

Will Catterick

Great place to hike for people who don’t go hiking. Nice date spot :)

Stephen Vukovics

Nice easy trails, plenty of fun stuff for the kids

Lanetta Bleich

Love this place so much!

Chris Drennan

Great spot for a hike / nature walk

Derek Pritchard

Beautiful walking park. Great for family walks or take the pooch for a stroll. The pond at the back is supercool for the kids, packed with golden carp, catfish, frogs and all kinds of birds.

Amanda Mason

An amazing place to walk around, gravel pathways, lots of loops, a great pond, small pavillion area with picnic benches, and even a forested area to walk through. There is also an area that has art features that are designed for children to interact with and educate them about various things. A great repurposing of an old area. Only issue is that there are A LOT of ticks. Do not let your dogs go into the tall, grassy areas here. From a single day I found four ticks on my dog and my friend found nine on hers. Otherwise a wonderful area!!

Keith Tam

Beautiful site, and right beside the Brock campus too. Can see Toronto on a good day.

Julie Reichheld

Very well maintained park, other than the signs explaining what things are... they're all faded. But other than that it is a beautiful area and perfect for walks, runs, biking and walking the dog ????????

Mel Hysert

Loved it

Austin Resch

Nice trail right by Brock University. Perfect for walking the dog or even going for a run/bike. The view is really nice with the paths going around and up some hills.

Cassie Osborne

A great place for a walk with the family

Aaron Tisdelle

Nice place. Too wide open for a comfortable day if its windy.

Dominik Buszowiecki

It's a nice area to relax and go for a short walk. The only complaint is on many instances I have seen people with there dogs not on a leash despite the sign saying dogs must be on leash.

JOHN ROCHE

Well maintained trails. Quite a relaxing trail and very nice scenery. Only issue was a 30-50ft section where we caught a bit of a methane breeze, but other than right in that specific spot it was excellent. Lots of off leash dogs though, not cool when you're own dogs are on leash.

Tommy nguyen

Great place to go for a walk/run/bike ride

Nothin 2 C Here

Superb walk! Too much excrement. Watch your step out there

roro Stewart

So many amazing trails so you can customize the walk to be as short or long as you want. Stroller and dog friendly. Boardwalk area looking out onto a pond. Beautiful scenery.

Rob Mcdougall

Area was much larger then expected with various trail great way to enjoy the outdoors for a couple of hours

I really enjoy the Mental health memorial area. Such a great idea.

Great walk

Todd Sanders

Loved it very peaceful enjoyable stroll

Ginnie Venslovaitis

Used it as a connection to the Bruce Trail. Lots of snow, beautiful day.

Koray Korkmaz

This park is just beside the Quarry view residence of Brock university and the highway. There is free parking available right beside the site. It's so close to the city but it feels like it's so far away at the same time. It is great in all seasons for a walk. During summers, it's a great place for biking and winter time for trekking. Kids love it! There are several educational parks for kids about weather events, solar system etc. Especially the lake area is spectacular

Karl Daigle

Great accessible trails for walks. Lots to sniff for dogs. Many path choices for either short walk or long.

Mengqiu Chen

Worth to visit! Love here.

James Bruce

Great place ! walk hike , run and checkout the catfish

Kathy Learn
