    Both me and my fur baby had a great time here while visiting from Cape Breton. Grounds were very well kept👍👍👍

    It's a lovely spot with trees, flowers, and benches situated throughout. It has a community garden with vegetables and herbs, an orchard, and a community oven. You can bring the makings for pizza, cook it in the oven, and enjoy it at a picnic table surrounded by the great view.

    Very beautiful. Great view. Off leash dog area. Love the gate/fence metal art.
  • By Andrew
    Great for walking, relaxing, exercising (those hills). Gorgeous little park. Advise not to travel through without a group after dark.
