Reviews of Old Mill Park (Zoo)

Deirdre Oake-Scott

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

Amanda Gray

Beautiful place for a walk

Matt's life

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.

A nice little out of the way park in Lindsay. Don't for get to visit the Fiddler's Green for some fabulous fish and chips. Or some live entertainment in the evenings.

Colleen Ford’s Backup Channel

Nice wide trail, not too challenging, but does have a couple spots that may make you stop and catch your breath. Wasn't busy in evening.

Derek “Doc Weedlaw” Francisco

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

Great place for taking kids

Very nice park, perfect place for a quick lunch

Charmin Eckertt

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.

alison DeNure

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.

Nice river view.

It's a park.

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.

Rob Kearns

A great little park next to a river

Thomas “Pip” Milne

It's ok

Amanda Jones

Nice clean place. Great park for kids

Tim Parsons

Nice quite place clean

Iain Robson

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.

James Mccabe

Racquel Harry

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

Lucas F

Nice old Mill. A piece of our history.

Chin Chinchilly

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.

Syed Ahmed

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.

Madeline McGill

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

Mrs Wannamaker

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

Hello There

Enjoy your day and count the syringes and dimebags.fun for the whole family

jeannette myers

Good for a nice quiet time

John West

Calm nice river side park

Lou Anne

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.

Jacob Dubeau

Felt good to be back. Missed my friends and bowling. Hopefully able to make it a once a month thing

Shaun Dixon

Cool place

Jess Heath

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

Sandrina Jn baptiste

So peaceful.......

Mack Cornell

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.

Henry Dening

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

Cbootcy

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.

Dan White

Nice spot to take the kids so long as the local punks arnt hanging out there

Anthony Chessman

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.

James Hadden

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

Kevin Derrick Photography

Nice spot to relax and enjoy the view

David Kiezebrink

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

Agnes Dziewiatkowska

So historical

Tracey Mechefske

Historical parks are always a great place to relax and take in the scenery

Dan Larush

Historic

Juneth Ralston

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

Kaylee MacKinnon

Gorgeous!

TheWoodzyPlays

Great place

Jordan Van Mierlo

Deb Simpson

It's a park

Monica Vereana Williams (The Detangler)

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.

kristine nolin

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

Aaron Sloan

Nice easy walk for seniors.

Melissa Perry

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

Tash.0 T

Beautiful spot for kids and adults alike...great place to take some beautiful photos!

Astrid

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

vintage dolls 101

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.

Tracey Hicks

Nice park

Newfie Led Man

Interesting historical artifact. Not much to see.

Jan Walker

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

John Kirk

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

James Patterson

Perfect place for people gathering, family and friends picnics and relaxing. There are plenty of tables there. It located in the centre of the city. And there’s so many parking spaces. It is also a good fishing place.

Bill Zhang

Stunning piece of history. Great place for photos.

EatYourRice 18 (EatYourRice18)

Nice clean and quiet

Lovely park along the canal here in Lindsay. Parking and picnic tables and playground just add people.

Dave Grayston

Great place for family

Historic and scenic, a nice little park also!

girish patel

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

Laurie Verwey

A beautiful spot, but sadly there was lots of garbage in the water in some spots.

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

atilla topuc

Nice atmo here.

Zach Sheehey

great spot for a boat ride

Jeff hudson

Not a nice place at night

Crystal Carr

Anne Booker

Amazing little park.

Good park for kids.

Candy Hon

So peaceful with running water, lovely scenery

Finnegan Lefebvre

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

Tyler Stanley

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

mickey t

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.

tom jordan

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

Iron Ogre

Lots of teenage troubles and garbage.

L B

Lovely place

Ernest Quenneville

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...

Christine Sing-Arnett

Go place to go to watch the fish spawn

Linda Jeffrey

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.

Jarrod Thorne

Grass, shade, and a play area.

lee Groves

The.best

Andrew Headrick

Amazing beautiful place , great place to take ur kids to the park , or even just relax an have a picnic by the water :D

John Ireland

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.

Valerie Fox

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...

Tim Peeters

Great relaxing spot to enjoy nature and appreciate the elements

Mark DONNERAL

Nice place to relax and take pictures

Julie Irvine

Beautiful park. Wonderful water. Lots of ducks, fish, people... There is a neat castle hollowed out here. Cool to take pictures in.

Terry Smith

Good playground for little children

steven sun

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

Alisha Hancock

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