cindy fiddler

Beautiful panoramic views and lots of eagles to watch

Tannis Crosby

Good for cycling around in the mornings. Unfortunately there was a bunch of construction near the parking lot, and also a lot of wildfire smoke blowing in from BC, so we didn't spend a lot of time here.

Brett Lybbert

Nice park to walk in.

Beautiful trail for walking

Michael Ireland

It would be awesome if there were trailmarkers on the trails to cross reference on the map, plus a few interpretive stories and things. But otherwise, it's a gorgeous park, great for nature walks and bike-rides.

Bob Arthur

Jocelyn Nicole

Nice trails !

Mike Dennett

The park has great paths with some off route worn in paths for those wanting to explore. Some great river front spots as well. Excellent park for meditative walks or walks with with family.

Paige McLean

A favourite place of ours to walk, bird watch and look for other wildlife. Nicely kept trails with benches and garbage cans along the route to rest and dispose of waste. We went down the river bank this time and walked around the island. Very quiet and serene this afternoon.

Marc Ward

Beautiful - Serene - Peaceful

Mags Dollimont

Absolutely love these paths and this entire park, right by the water with a hidden homemade skatepark from the young hatters that play there. Dog friendly and so big that you barely run into people except in the parking lot. 12/10 recommend going for a walk here if you're looking to kill time and have a nice outdoor stroll / adventure

Linden Wallace

Nature preserved in the city, great for walk AOL seasons, crowd country sky, and snow shoes walking paths, with availability of sky and snow shoes rental at the side.

Nice spot for walks or bike rides. Good gift shop and interpretive centre. But it could really use a small playground for all the kids that come here!

Police Point Park and its staff never fail to amaze. We attended the Christmas sleigh ride event. The Lions club was out in full force with the hotdogs, drinks, and popcorn. The Interpretive Centre staff were entertaining the kids with crafts and entertainment. We really enjoyed Taylor and his origami box he showed is. He is great with young and old alike. I would recommend any event put on here as we have never been disappointed. Their staff is knowledgeable and very friendly.

Meagan Massini

A must see, if visiting Medicine Hat! #badlandsarebadass

Ajax Ravanna

The most beautiful place in Medicine Hat. You can get lost here and enjoy nature in any weather. The paths are all safe for biking in the summer, and there are off trail routes for mountain biking or cross country skiing. Police Point's visitor center has great exhibitions that change monthly, and has awesome staff who can answer questions about the park.

Neil Dawson

This place is so beautiful ????. Definitely a MUST visit to anyone in or out of Medicine Hat. All the pictures you see in the reviews...this place is all that and more. You can start by visiting the nature centre and leave some donation if you like . Then you just enjoy a great walk with an awesome view.

sean tseng

Very large park, good for a walk

Patrick Steffen

One of our favorite parks in town , easy to find. Nature center is a great place to learn about all the nature surrounding the park along with very informative staff. Park is well kept and trails all over .

Tracy Woodford

Myself and my kids always learn so much. Just pop in and ask away.

Tanner

Beautiful! I love this park the best for taking my puppy for a walk since it has better paths. There's always new adventures to have and there's lots of river access - boat access for those who need it as well. The paved paths are well maintained BUT just know to be careful when going off those paths. There's some drop-off over the river and they definitely need to be reinforced, and the odd trees tend to block some of these paths as well (but if yoh don't suffer from mobility issues then you can get around them easily). There's an off-leash area, not enclosed though so again it's definitely for more advanced listeners haha. But all the dogs (and owners) my pupp and I have met have been wonderful!

Chris Wilde

Very cold when we visited

Amanda Baxter-Fix

Interpretive center staff are really passionate about the park and the wildlife inhabiting it. Programs are running all the time and they have really nice walking paths.

Amedz Traveller

Quiet place and nice surroundings. I would recommend to anyone..

Sebastian Kluth

Police Point Park is the most interesting park to visit in Medicine Hat. There are numerous different types of trails and you can easily spend a few hours here. The dry landscapes make you think of the Wild West in the summer. Sometimes you get the impression to be in Texas instead of Alberta.

Dana Blackwell

We had fun cycling around and exploring. Really nice young man at the desk.

Eve Karlsson

Great oasis in town So much wild life, great trails and love the family activities they put on. Great place to go for a run!

Where peace and tranquility can be found

Mitchell Guinn

Amazing place to come, wonderful paths with lots of animals and birds around. Nice and scenic with both paved and shale paths to walk. Cross country skiing in the winter. The staff at the nature center are helpful, kind and courteous! Will definitely return!

Ruurd Offringa

It seems to be a decent park, well used by locals. There seems to be a good system of pathways for walking or biking. The cottonwoods are beautiful. Unfortunately the toilets were not available when we visited.

Marlayna Radke

My family LOVES this park. The park is beautiful with many trees making it almost like a forest feel. Many benches to sit on and shade for the warm days. Beautiful views of the river and some wildlife has been seen. There are numerous paths where you can have a sort walk to a nice lengthy walk. We walk the complete circle around the park with out 3 young kids which takes about 1.5 hrs and is a great way to use their endless energy up and enjoy nature as a family. We regularly go there on weekends. Great for every season too. The interpretive center usually has a story book walk set up for kids where you follow the designated path and along the way are signs with each page of a book to read. Our kids love this and always ask to go on that path first. A great place for family's or even an alone walk or bike ride. Great for pets too. I highly recommend this park.

Rob Schock

Great place for a walk and a chance to see some wildlife

Dave Krahn

Nice area

Trang Tran

Beautiful massive walking trail, could easily get lost but we really enjoyed it.

Bonnie Zeller

Police Point Park Interpretive center had a facelift a year or so ago and it was well worth the wait for the time it was closed. It has a bright, open atmosphere and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable people. If they can't answer your question they will help you find answers in the many displayed books and pamphlets. It's a great place for family activities and getting close to nature! The trails are great for hiking, cycling or for a leisurely stroll. Don't let winter stop you. Strap on some cross country skis and away you go!

Our Son Paolo

Went fishing with a buddy. Park is great for walking or access to the River. Would have given it 5 stars but the lucky b@5t¥rd outfished me!

Mike Long

Amazing natural prairie river park. Miles of paved and shale paths showcasing cottonwood and shortgrass landscape typical of southern alberta rivers. In the winter there are also snowshoe and cross country ski opportunities.

Brent Getz

Nature nurture

Shandel Dupal

Beautiful

Stephen Palmer

GreT to go to.

Tom J

Lovely little riverside country park. This park is bordered on three sides by a meandering bend of the South Seskatchewan river. The bend will eventually become an oxbow lake! The park is semi wooded and has many paths throughout, both surfaced and dirt. There is evidence of beavers felling trees although it looks as if this activity has been "managed" by the authorities! There is a visitor centre with a car park although it was closed during my visit. The park is used by many for activities such as dog walking, cycling and jogging. The perimeter path runs along the bank of the river and provides opportunities to see local wildlife such as squirrels, deer and also fantastic views of the river.

Jiffy pop exclusive

Awsome place to be around nature, n going for walks. Or bikeing.

Brian Gale

Lovely Sunday morning walk. Borrowed a wheel chair from the interpretive centre as one of our party needed it. Prairie cactus in bloom.

This is my favourite city park, by far, and it is the most interactive. Wildlife, painted rocks, story walks, and more! I know a lot of the activities are postponed due to covid but this is an excellent place to get out with your family or loved ones for a walk.

A beautiful park and always interesting displays to see in the Nature Centre.

Julie K

This is a beautiful park. It is as close to a "natural" park as there is in Medicine Hat. We walked some of the trails on our first day and returned the next day to rent (free) the two bikes available at the Interpretative Centre. The students working in the Centre were very helpful and keen to share their knowledge. This was the highlight of our visit and we can't thank the staff at the visitor center enough for recommending the park to us.
