It was such a nice place to see ! We walked around, but couldn't complete a trail because it was closed. The view on Lake Ontario is breathtaking and it is a must-see if you like nature.

I love going for walks here no matter the season! In winter they provide bird seed so you can feed chickadees and sometimes other birds right out of your hand over even off your head! I've always seen owls and many deer here. As a photographer it is a great spot not too far from the city to have that great escape from the busy city life. It's very peaceful and there are multiple trails you can walk which is fun! Also a great place for a photoshoot with friends :)

My Husband and I were here briefly on May 31st during our honeymoon in Kingston. We are from nearby Brockville. We got off the Kingston Trolley stop here to walk back to City Hall via the historic residential section. We learned from the driver that the park was originally destined in the mid 1800s to become the location of the Parliament buildings for Canada if it had happened that Kingston remained the country's capital. However Queen Victoria changed Canada's capital to Ottawa, so the current Parliament buildings were built there instead. Very interesting fact! We love walking in parks with grand trees, and this park is certainly one of them! We also viewed the statue of Sir John A MacDonald (Canada's first prime minister) at the southeast corner of the park on King St.

My sister and I had been looking for a place to meet up half way with our kids to enjoy a beach day. I'm very thankful we found this beach! It was perfect for our kids ( Under 5) as the water was nice and shallow for them and the sand was nice and soft too! There are a lot of picnic tables as well as bathrooms close by. There was also a playground. Will definitely check it out again!
