Top 10 Nature & Parks in Prince George, Canada
Hub of the North, host of the 2015 Canada Winter Games and one of BC’s friendliest, most outgoing communities, Prince George is a vital crossroad for Northern British Columbia. Located at the confluence of the Fraser and Nechako rivers, where Highways 97 and 16 launch road-trippers on a variety of adventures, PG is a regional centre for shopping, arts and sports, where industry and innovation coexist, outdoor recreation is a way of life, and northern wilderness and urban amenities converge.

One of the best places to walk in Prince George. A great network of trails and a beautiful stocked lake you can fish and swim in as well. The park is very well maintained and clean largely in part because people are respectable when they are there. There are loads of trash bins and a picnic area with a covered section and picnic tables right by the lake, so it's a great spot to have lunch. I've been walking and fishing here in both winter and in summer and the trails are maintained year-round. There are several trails depending on your physical ability and how long you want to spend here. If you're traveling to Prince George this would be a great place to spend an afternoon.

We came here two days in a row on our family visit to Prince George, it is a great place for middle school and under aged children! The park is immediately adjacent to Exploration place and includes and excellent and well kept outdoor playground for all ages (with free washrooms onsite, a huge plus!) as well as a great little splash pad area, plus the train, and children's garden. Hours of fun both indoors and out. I would highly recommend a visit and plan to stay a few hours at least.

My hubby and I needed to stop along the way for the night and came upon the park we pulled into a spot and the local warden comes around to collect the fees. Make sure to have cash. Its first come first serve. There are flush toilets but no showers. We were in a camper so no big deal. The lots were Beautiful and fully trees and it was very quiet. We didn't do anything else on the park like go to the lake but the campsite was great would stop there again along the way.

We don't have a boat but we go to West Lake often. First of all it is close, second, it is well kept. Change rooms, showers, tables, boat launching, place for grilling, playing ball,toilets, large parking lot. The water could be a little warmer but good. Our friends and us we go out for picnic. The bottom line is it's good for young and old.

This is a dog friendly park! The space is wide open and beautiful. You get a beautiful walk in the fresh air and may even encounter some wildlife!

Reviewed By Tor56 - Prince George, Canada
This park is centrally located and easily accessible, either by car or on foot during the summer (a little more difficult in the winter as I believe the road is closed off) and the yellow stairs going up to it may be covered with ice or snow. During the summer months this park is just beautiful with flowers scattered throughout but the main garden is kind of a sunken garden which makes it an ideal place for special event photo's such as weddings, grads, etc. There are also picnic tables which makes it nice for residents and tourists alike to enjoy a picnic lunch or just to sit and watch the activities and take in the 360 degree views of PG. I highly recommend a visit to this park.
