This is a really cool spot to stop and hang out!! In the summer there is a concert series that is free to the public. It taks place every Sunday which is a blast just to kick back and listen to some local talent. Passing of the hat is encouraged. The main hill is fun for the kiddies to sled in the winter. At any point during the year the scenic walks throughout the Park are fantastic. We bring our dogs and let them have a romp through. Lots of trails that seemingly take you in different directions are fun to explore.

Kingston Park is both a child and a senior-friendly park. It has limited shaded seating if needed, but lots of green space for spreading out a blanket, or your own portable seats. The water park is spectacular for children of all ages and is large enough so there is always safe play space. Highly recommended.

Visited recently with 6 adults and one toddler. We stayed in the Highlands campground sites 119 and 121. It was as expected (grassy with average trees/privacy) but I think the other campgrounds are a bit more treed so book early if you want a more wooded area closer to water. It was also a further walk from the beach and playgrounds but we could still walk there in about 15 minutes so not too bad. We booked a bit late so Highlands was the only campground remaining with availability. Washrooms were incredibly clean for a provincial park on a long weekend in the summer. We were apprehensive about the beach situation since the park was advertising no beach/swimming due to erosion/high water levels. We checked out the beach regardless and there was about 10 feet of sand from the banks to the water and hardly anyone was there so it was like we had our own private beach on a long weekend. The banks at the beach were very steep, even at the marked spots, so prepare to do a bit of scrambling to get up and down. Of course, it is swim-at-your-own-risk since they aren't testing the water but it hadn't rained in a few days and nearby beaches were testing fine so we went in. The playground at the beach area was amazing for little ones. There were a lot of flies but it is summer. There is also a golf course basically at the entrance to the park, which some of our group enjoyed. Overall, we had a great stay and I would recommend Wheatley Provincial Park. It was especially nice to avoid the 400 traffic on a long weekend.

The park has been transformed into a green space for the education and enjoyment of Chatham-Kent residents and tourists who visit. The park's focal point is a bronze bust of Mary Ann Shadd Cary, sculpted by Artis Shreve Lane.

This is our local Provincial Park and we use it a lot, camping and just for day visits. The campground is great, or we think it is, and is close to the parks amenities and its front gate. But, if you want some peace and quite, just head down to visitor centre, or go beyond, even right down to South Point, the furtherst away from the gate that you get. There are few people and exploring the woods and the lake is great way to enjoy a day. The trails are good and well marked, one of my favourite walks being from the campground to the visitor centre, about 5Km - walk down on the beach and back through the woods. The woods can be very buggy in the summer, so go prepared with your skin covered and plenty of DEET. However, that's a small price to pay for such a great walk. I do think it's a bit expensive getting in the park, but if you use them regularly, get a pass.

This gem in the city has been a place that I frequented as a kid and now with my kids. Thank you to the O’Neil family for keeping this as it has always been and thank you also to the Chatham Rotary club for the trail system and bridge. Owls, birds, fish and other wildlife can be seen regularly. You should check it out if you haven’t!
