RCMP Memorial

Reviewed By TravelsWithChihuahua - Moncton, Canada

If you're not familiar with Greater Moncton (Moncton/Dieppe/Riverview), I strongly recommend using the RCMP Memorial as a starting point for your visit. Very easy to locate, and with plenty of street parking, this is a beautiful and well created memorial to our most recent fallen Police Officers. There has been six Police Officers tragically killed in the line of duty in the history of our city, a sad reality, and this monument is specifically for three Police Officers killed during a mass shooting in our city on June 4th., 2014. These Officers were members of Codiac RCMP, while the other fallen Officers were members of The Moncton Police Force (Replaced by the RCMP). From here, you are now on a beautiful riverfront walking trail, part of the TransCanada Trail, and one block away from Moncton's Main Street with it's many restaurants, night clubs, stores, banks, theatre, etc. Every city has its history, good and bad, and from here we learn and grow.

We were beyond satisfied with our experience here... My wife and I booked a Wine Tasting & Picnic On The Patio in late July. Very informative and professional. We both enjoyed the wine tasting very much. The personal interaction between the staff and guests was very much appreciated. Great selection of wines for sale. We will return for sure! Thank you for a great afternoon!

Riverfront Park

Reviewed By calgaryguy - Kelowna, Canada

We were here right after Canada Day and there were still celebratory concerts, which we quite enjoyed. The temporary bleachers were fine for the evening events. We explored the park more the next day, hiking along the Riverside Trail, which is also part of the Great Trail, what used to be called the Trans Canada Trail. The people who live in Moncton are lucky to have such a park.
