shreya chatterjee

Very tranquil place ,with plenty of parking lot. Well maintained and good opportunity for photography.must go for a day outing.

Terry Kamps

St. Thomas's biggest park, with a brand new playground for the kids. Tennis courts are great and was glad to see people out watching a ball game at Emslie field.

Doug Assis

One of the cleanest and better organized parks in the region.

Karen Dryburgh

One of the prettiest, well kept parks I’ve ever been too. Nice wide paths through the woods at the back of the park with several big old trees. The path leads back to Lake Margaret, which also has a walking/biking trail all around it. Several picnic tables, lots of trees and shade to setup under. a great place for a family get together. Tons of open grass space for baseball, football, etc. Acouple nice pavilions and a very popular splashpad. The park staff always plant gorgeous flower displays every year.

Harry Smith

Great place for a walk and admire the park.

Melanie Kennedy

Beautiful area,had a great time...needs more washrooms.

Dkampers Deb

Nice park. Decided to try something new today with the dog on a drive. We ended up here. Some families used the playground for small kids..others were on paths. I decided to do a shorter walk with a small dog. Nice n clean. Nice scenery.

Garry Robbins

Peaceful park to walk, play, meditate. Roads are not too big so cars need to drive slow. Facilities have been well-maintained.

Hannah Elias

A beautiful park with extensive trails. Lots of places to sit and relax, as well as a pond, playground, bandshell, and sports fields. Highly recommend taking a walk around here!

Mousumi Saha

Peaceful. Clean.

Dee M

Great park, not packed, it's a big park. Lots to do. Hiking/walking in forest on pathways near a beautiful pond. Lots of green space to play andrelax, alone or with people. Parking.

RobertG Smith

Pinafore Park is a St.Thomas icon. It is clean, well run, and very well maintained. We stopped by to eat our take out lunch and be see the squirrels, geese, ducks in the park. We were also surprised by a small hawk flying around looking to score a squirrel for lunch. It was entertaining to see nature at it's finest. If you haven't visited you should, if you have you should go again. It is a beautiful place.

Elizabeth Stevens

Beautiful park, lots of wide, concrete paths. Beautiful scenery, went there when the Fall colours were starting. Good, clean portables.

The Moore Family

Fun for kids with great new playground. However layout is not great to be able to see kids play for those who may need to sit down (such as grandparents). No fence around playground and too many obstructions. I much prefer Waterworks or Cowan Park as their playgrounds are designed better for parents to watch their kids play and keep an eye on them at all times and watch for creepers...no obstructions. Cowan has a fence too.

Lia Michelle

Definitely our favourite park. Fantastic climbers, lots of swings, awesome walking trails, and of course a great splash pad for the warmer months!

Park is a nice place to take a walk. Most areas are fairly quiet. Place also has a decent park that was quite busy in past summers.

St Thomas has put a lot of work into making the city more livable and enjoyable for its residents. This park is a lovely little gem for people of all ages. Lots of open space and greenery, great playground for kids, a splash pad and even a waterfall.

Damian David Chapman

Day or night, rain or shine, this park has lots of areas & covered & not to hang out, webby a picnic, play lawn games & wonderful paved trails perfect for family bike rides & visitors w/mobility aid. This park is as enjoyable now as it was 50 yrs ago in my early years as a young boy.

Derek

Best park around for sure. Tons of playground area, swings and a nice splash pad. Great place.

Scott Tostik

I love this park any time of year. It's beautiful for all seasons of walking about. I highly recommend visiting it if you are in the area. The accompanying Shaw's Ice Cream booth located by the baseball diamonds in the rear section of the property is an amazing addition to the area. Nothing heats locally made ice cream on a hot day. Go to Pinafore Park you won't regret it!!!!

Steve Posthumus

Nice for a quick sit down supper, and the grounds crew was still busy working doing clean up and changing waste can bags. Thanks

Sum Industrial Group

Always a great spot to take kids. Playground, park, trails, river, lake and amphitheater. Plenty of grass area and trees for picnics.

Chris S.' Projects/ C.E.S.

I went for a walk there recently in the daylight, and it was amazing! I never knew the times I played pickleball with my boyfriend, was at the courts here. This is a large park with more than you expect. Nice to discover. ;)

Leszek Przywara

What a gorgeous playground. It's worth driving down from London to visit this serene location. An abundance of activities for the little ones to interact with and play on. Plenty of paths leading into a forested area, walks by the river, garbage cans, benches, picknic tables, and free parking. Not to worry there is public bathrooms, swings and a splash pad. You can bet I will definitely come back here again.

William Whitlock

got chased by bright green dogs running on 2 legs 10/10 would go again

Josie Elliott

Went for a walk, did some of the trails in the woods at the back of the park and found they lead to lake Margaret. Took a nice walk along the lake as well. Good for the kids and adults, clean paths and park.

Amanda Wilson

Always family friendly and a relaxing time. Beautiful trees on site and a dedication to people who have passed away on a tree wall. Amazing experience to walk over the bridge and look at the water!

M Rebecca GV Choy-Heathorn

This is a Beautiful Park. Great for Photos and Splash pad in June. Winter time it’s nice also as it’s a different view. Christmas lights and displays by local businesses and Charities. Only place in St Thomas that have Tennis Courts. Check public use of court times before going to play. Have Fun!

Tim F

This park features large open grassy areas for large group or family picnics. Pavilions are free to the public or can be rented. A splash pad and new play equipment are the most popular features of this park. There is a bacci ball area, skate park and band shell. The municipality often hosts Christmas Lights from various businesses and community groups.

Rick Smith

Big beautiful park with lots to do and see. Recommend for all ages.

Johanna van Wyk

Always fun and relaxing there. A beautiful maintained park. Lots of trees and benches to sit most are donated in memory of a loved one. I like this idea as well as the memory walls. Such a great idea!. Great place for picnics and family photography. Love the trails around Lake Margaret that ends up in or start in this park.

Al Hayes

Excellent park for kids. Big splash pad & a lot of picnic tables with a lot of shade. Only issue was the yellow jackets. Also has plenty of parking.

Sara Abdelkader

What a lovely park! I absolutely love this place. Actually all my family and friends do! There is a lot of activities for all the family there. When we went there was a nice cool concert that was very entertaining. The parking lot is very close to the swings, the covered picnic area and the washrooms. The washrooms are super clean and tidy! The trail next to the lake is amazing. Many places to sit in and have a lovely picnic. You have to visit this place at least once!

Allison Cuentas

I went to celebrate a birthday with my friend and it was an amazing place, the sad thing is that my little brothers couldn't play in the playground because it was closed.

Shirley's Adventure

I like this Park .beautiful scenery. Good for the kids too ,this is an splash pad,fishing and biking

Elio Campbell

Pinafore park is nature's best, from the well manicured landscape, garden arrangements, waterfall and the lush forestry coupled with it's all season maintained trails will definitely takes your breath away. Not to mention an array of wild animals such as deers, many bird species, a lake to fish, canoeing and a pond with turtles and several species of frogs, this is nature at it's best. Let's not forget the splash pad for kids and a newly renovated park that children will loose themselves playing all day. Pinafore park is truly an outdoor experience next to none!

Kevin McGuire

Our family frequents this park which is only a couple of blocks from Our home! Beautiful all the time and loads of space, New playground being built as I post this!

Corey McKechnie

Great park to take your kids out, nice paths for running or walking your pets.

Neb Boulianne

Clean and beautiful. Great spot for the family to spend a holiday Monday.

Jason Froude

Great place to bring small children or have a family picnic

Babak G

A great playground with new toys and complex plays for even teenagers, this park hands down is the best. Very clean, people are nice friendly and children are very careful with younger ones and always keep an eye for them.

Kaitie Sachade

Beautiful place for a short walk or picnic!

Jon Kemp

Beautiful park in St Thomas. Lots of green space and trees for shade. Has a few covered picnic areas, and a giant splash pad. Fair amount of parking In different areas of the park. Well worth a visit, bring your lawn chair a good book and spend a few hours relaxing. You might even come across musicians playing.

Amy Hodgson

The Park was BEAUTIFUL. We enjoyed a walk along the trails. ????❤???????? Wish there would have been more picnic tables out

Wendy Willacy

I love to walk here, it is a beautiful park.

Micheal Mayer

Old historic park. Great place to relax, connects into major St Thomas trails. Too bad the main pavalion eatery is not open due to covid.

Chris Sankar

Great playground facilities for children. The splash pad is also phenomenal.

Mhbobob Charania

Very nice and serene

Janet K

A beautiful park with so much to offer! Small lake, bushland with a paved path that even a wheel chair can do a bush exploration. Playground and waterpark just refurbished and is fantastic. The open areas have great gardens and commemorative statues and a mixture of sun and shade. A public washroom and a several spacious picnic areas. Even on the hottest humid summer days there is generally a cooling breeze.

peter klassen

Great place for a day trip with lots of room for family picnics and a splash pad/playground for children/fishing and hiking around the park/lake

Elie Ashton

Always kept very clean, people keep their dogs on leashes and are very respectful! Beautiful place to just relax from life!

Hunter Payne

It doesn't take much to see St. Thomas isn't always a good place to live. But this park is beautiful and its a diamond in the rough. Great to see St. Thomas so well taken care of.

Amanda Goodwin

Kids always love a trip to the park. Lots of options for playing, walking or just enjoying the scenery. It's home to swans, geese, and other waterfowl. Trees looks beautiful in the autumn. It's nice and clean and there are portapotties at the playground (that don't stink!)

Fredrick Smith

Great family park. Tennis and pickleball courts. Great baseball diamond with covered stands. Kids play area. A few short forest paths. Access to Lake Margaret and multiuse paved trail. Lots of grass with both sun and shade. Some covered picnic spots.....

Meagan Ipsen

Beautiful park, well maintained. I enjoy going for walks here with my son. Spring and Autumn is my favourite time to come here!

Ronnie Blondeel

Pinafore Park is beautiful highly recommended for trails family gatherings. And the washrooms are always kept in pristine condition.

Tyler Dixon-lennett

It's nice, I miss the old playground though, I think they downgraded a bit.

G Hooper

Always a fun time with the kids. Whether we are playing at the park or biking the trails . Wonderful views and fun times. Great splash pad and good equipment. They also do movies in the park with food donations which is so amazing! Will go again for sure.

Sarah Bush

Hit up this awesome park and playground today and had a bbq..they have an ice cream store with shakes and banana splits, baseball diamonds, splash pads, and the best playground ive ever seen anywhere in London Ontario or St. Thomas...the park is huge..i highly recommend when visiting St.Thomas

Mohamed Mohamed

Beautiful park great for the kids. Nice splashpad and park. Only negative is there are no picnic tables put out so bring tables chairs if you going to BBQ

An absolutely beautiful park and place to sitting, walk, have a wedding , family gathering......and a place of peace.

Teresa Tales

One of the best park so far I have visited. Nice structures, paths for walk, kids area, big pavilions for arranging get together. HIGHLY recommended. Must visit on way to Port Stanley beach. ????????

Kathie Van Wieren

Lovely park to sit on benches and share a coffee with a friend. Wonderful splash pad for kids. Memory walls near entrance well designed and thoughtful. Great park for walking, too

Mirta Lawrence

Pinafore Park is a great spot to meet with family ,girlfriends, guy friends,or plan a birthday gathering. Lots for the kiddies to do too.

Dustin Birch

Best park in the london and surrounding area. Excellent and wheelchair accessible bathrooms. The playground is great for the kids and so is the splash pad. Good picnic facilities. The gardens are always well done and the water feature at the parks entrance is very nice. This park is a weekly trip for our family as the kids love many aspects of the park.

Leanne Versteegen

This is a beautiful clean park to visit. A great area for kids to play with a splash park included. Although, currently the kids play equipment is under construction and blocked off for improvements. It was nice to be able to find a permanent picnic table to eat at. Usually visit this park a few times during the year in the nice weather.

Bob Chapman

Good day to go for a walk in the parks trails that are always kept clean and clear

Karlita Perez

Lovely park, for a picnic or a walk. Not too many parking spots, and I don't think it would be as nice if it got too crowded.

Sue-Hee Kim

It was busier than I've ever seen this week (phase 3 opening), but the park is so large my toddler and I barely felt it. The new park upgrades are really great for the kids, some things I've never seen at a kids park before, my son's 27 months and his mind was blown. Lots of tables and places to sit. We went in the morning around 1030am and again with his 9mth old brother around 430pm, it was busy but lots of parking still. I wish there was a place to park our strollers and pushers. But well worth the trip.

Cindy Tweedie

Park is always clean. Well kept gardens.

Lynn B

Pinafore Park is one of the best features of St. Thomas. The park is large with areas for almost any type of recreation. There is a baseball diamond, playgrounds, splash pads, trails, and many great gardens in this park. It borders a large pond which is great for fishing and watching wild fowl. Within the last ten years they added a memory garden to where you can relax and remember your loved ones which have passed away. The picnic pavilions and concession stand have been recently updated, and the park looks clean fresh and inviting, Great for a relax-full stroll, a picnic by the pond, or letting the kids run.

T H

Huge park, very beautiful, has some nice displays and a cue bridge that overlooks a pond and a little waterfall on its other side. Wonderful place for a picnic

Cathy Crocker

Pinafore Park is the perfect place for a barbeque, a walk in nature, or catch and release fishing. This park, with its numerous trails and lakes, is vast and relaxing.

Margaret Donaldson

Amazing place to relax, walk and get away. The only draw back is that when they put in the new equipment they lowered the swings

Robin Loader

A beautiful peaceful park and very quiet while we were there.

Bez Peters

This “Park” is LE-GIT!! Many highlights, but here’s a few: -They have EIGHT tennis courts, plus EIGHT pickleball courts, in a massive, fenced in, divided up, brand new cement, benches everywhere, space! ???? For a family that loves their pickleball, this was a gem to find!! -There’s a huge baseball diamond with the biggest bleachers I’ve seen around (and my husband plays a lot of baseball.) -A large play ground for kids, with a few different play sets, and a splash pad. ???? -There are pavilions EVERYWHERE!! Some with a few picnic tables, others with ~10 or so picnic tables. Some even have an area to hook up a BBQ, etc. -There are walking paths, bridges, lovely gardens, and even a little lake (or two) right there! And I still have so much more to explore!!

Ess U

Lovely park. Splash pad and playground (open again) are always busy with kids!

Sydney Cheverie

Always clean. The squirrels are cute, good place to see some wildlife like deer, geese, ducks and swans and of course tons of squirrels. Nice place to fish and go for walks.

Kennedy Hollister

Beautiful park well maintained , nice trails, fun for all ages

mustafa

It is really wonderful and very clean , and there is a lot of activity to do , walking and splash for the kids ,

Raymond Usvultas

Loved it. A place you can go for a brisk walk around. Daily 7 days a week. Relax under a tree with a good book on a sunny day. Listen to music from the dome stage. Have your kids use the splash pads on hot sunny days. Enjoy ice cream. From the pavilion. Have special events. In winter. Just drive around enjoy the festival of lights. Enjoy the largest park in St. Thomas.

Andra Cutway

It's nice that we have a Park that is clean and well kept. I do enjoy walking and it's a nice meeting place to keep a safe distance from others at the same time being friendly and welcoming to others. Great job guys keeping pinafore in tip top condition. ????
