    It’s a really nice place to enjoy. You can rent cycles and roam around, chill near the red river, enjoy Sargent sundae ice cream, visit the museum that’s near by. It’s an amazing place to have camps and enjoy with family and friends.

    One of the best park in Winnipeg that you must visit. Perfect place for relaxing, picnic, playing, walking, jogging, lots of free events happen here, and the English garden is my favorite. There is a museum, zoo and lots of stuffs! I highly recommend that you must visit this park especially if you are new to Winnipeg! 😍😍😍

    Been rollerblading at this park since 1993. Decided to return and hoped to see some favorite places and the new additions. Sadly, most paths are in desperate need of being repaved. My wheels were constantly getting stuck, the paths are still made using the old rock path that vibrates my wheels. My feet were numb by the end of my two hour trip. This is also not great for push scooters. So young kids will find it difficult, especially when they have to pass over the tar filled lines. The park has made some great upgrades but their paths are totally lacking and they need to be upgraded as not everyone uses bikes on the walking paths. Would love to see some funds used to upgrade the paths. Some paths even have full on weeds growing between the cracks on the cement paths. I'm thankful that I am quite solid on my blades and did not fall, but I can see some adults and kids taking a tumble. Love that the paths have remained open, but they are in desperate need of an upgrade. Love the extra kid zones, old Beach volleyball courts, BBQ spots, new additions and the Pavillion where I saw a wedding taking place on a Friday afternoon.

    This park is undoubtedly the crown jewel of our city. It's a fantastic oasis filled with picturesque spots and photo-worthy locations. Whether you're planning a picnic or simply seeking a nature escape, this place has it all. My wholehearted recommendation goes out to this remarkable park.

    Perfect little spot, read my book, spent time connecting with my partner, did some Journaling, all the while being able to watch people walk by, enjoyed the sound of birds chirping away. Walked around herb gardens. Shade was perfect under the trees. Perfect way to get grounded. Love nature.

    Beautiful, expansive park with lots of different places to go: Leo Mol Sculpture Park, Gardens at The Leaf, English Gardens, Nature Playground, and the Pavilion. And it's all free!! Great for all ages (nature playground especially for kids).

    One of the biggest park in the city! Good for outdoor activities. Lots of tables and chairs for family gatherings and good place to do exercise. Beautiful bike trails too

    The new Leaf is amazing! From the delicious food at Gather to the conservatory with two biomes, butterfly room, fish pond, waterfall and outdoor gardens - it didn't disappoint! Amazing place to visit.

    Many activities to do and lots of pathways for walking and biking. There are many restrooms, picnic areas and playgrounds for children.

    Amazing place to visit. Something to do for everyone. Very close to the Trans-Canada Highway so you can make quick stop to stretch legs and enjoy the beautiful park. Loved the different areas with very well maintained park infrastructure. I would definitely recommend visiting different attractions in the park.

  • 5/5 Ben B. 2 years ago on Google
    What an outstanding park! You could spend a very pleasant few hours walking through and around the Indigenous Garden, Kitchen Garden, Sensory Garden, English Garden, Duck Pond and Leo Mal Sculpture Garden. And that doesn’t even include the Children’s Natural Playground or the Assiniboine Park Zoo. The new Leaf project looks like it is going to be a really interesting building, although construction is still ongoing right now. And the steam train was unfortunately closed for repairs during the week of our trip.

    It was a beautiful afternoon. Not crowded, went to the sculpture garden and had a lemonade break at a patio area from a couple of temporary food truck. Love watching the geese, ducks, squirrels, people & their pet pooches❤️😁

    Regardless what you like to do, just go there and enjoy. Museum, zoo, hiking, biking, family gathering, probably barbecuing, cricketing, soccer, kids toy land, restaurants, some festivals, and so and so ... they all are opportunities you may experience it in the park to have fun. What I like more over there, is photographing. Stunning landscape beside the river, including different types of animals, during summer and winter time, make it fascinating! Have a fun!

    We checked out the new Diversity Gardens at the Park today. It was a beautiful fall day and the gardens still looked very nice. There were lots of people out enjoying the day, but it didn't feel crowded at all. There are several walking and bike paths, and plenty of benches and seating if you need a rest. Very enjoyable!

    Beautiful place to walk around. I love that it is so big, and there are lots of places that you can sit on. I always like the different buildings that you can look at!

    This is a large park with the zoo, an arboretum, lots of open areas for picnics and games. But best of all is the English garden. Beautifully maintained, docents walking about to answer questions, good plant labeling, stunning plantings.

  • 5/5 Henry C. 3 months ago on Google • 21 reviews New
    A park which you can very enjoy in the cold weather. It's a pleasure to have a little walk in the park. If you can see the train, it's like the last century's horn blow in your ear.

  • 5/5 Jasleen K. 6 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    This park has so many attractions. The steam train is great for kids. The English garden is so beautiful in the summer… great for an outdoor run on a nice day. The sargent sundae is right across from the park…how convenient for ice cream lovers. Go inside the pavilion and explore the galleries. Highly recommended!

    Assiniboine Park is the place to be! The park has a lot of green space. Perfect for picnics, walking, and playing sports in the summer. It also has a great ice rink and a hill for tobogganing in winter. Great for families and anyone who wants to enjoy their time outdoors. With the addition of the new Garden and The Leaf, Assiniboine Park has now been my all time favorite place to pass time and to catch up with friends.

  • 5/5 Susan N. 2 years ago on Google
    Great family day..from the walk to the flower garden to the kids zone!

  • 5/5 Glenn A. 10 months ago on Google
    Absolutely huge park with lots of open spaces. Though we didn't go to the zoo, I've heard very good things about it. The Leaf is new and is a very interesting place to go. There's also an old steam locomotive as a stationary exhibit in the park.

  • 4/5 Kaylee N. 1 year ago on Google
    Would be nice if the public washrooms were open more other than that it looks great so many beautiful paths to walk with different scenery has improved a lot over the years I love to see it

  • 5/5 Gursimran Singh M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great park, only got to see half or maybe less, but it was a great walk and there was also some concert going on which was very nice!

  • 3/5 Babak V. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to go in the cold winter. You feel like you are in Southern countries! The downside of it is that they charge $15 per person for admission. I guess considering that you can see all of the gardens in less than an hour, it could have been priced cheaper.

  • 5/5 Tony N. 1 year ago on Google
    The Leaf: Good place to go on a cold sunny day in the winter! Go during the day to see the butterflies cruising around, night time not so much. It's humid and hot in there, dress in layers, there is a coat check, not supervised.

  • 4/5 Mick P. 2 years ago on Google
    Had a wonderful day with the family today and the dinosaur exhibit was fantastic!! The seals were swimming and got to get up close with the bears when we stopped for lunch at Tundra grill which was clean and felt very comfortable for first outing to eat in long time! Wonderful staff and volunteers. Great job guys!

  • 5/5 Roger H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice park. Big playground for kids! Wide variety of beautiful flowers, etc!

  • 5/5 Катерина �. 9 months ago on Google
    Vast and spacious, lots of green. Clean, you can scarcely spot any garbage on the grass. I like their cafe and the barbecue zone, also the adult bar zone, where you can have a shot or two and grab a bite.

  • 5/5 Dm R. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place for walking and biking with your family. You can even get a 2 and 4 seat bike for rent near the bridge. Keeping social distancing is easy while enjoying the nature. If you like an ice cream, just across the bridge on Portage, or enjoy the coffee shop or the bar in the heart of the Assiniboine Park near the pond. The English garden is always a lovely place for photos with sculptures and flowers.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth A. 6 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    On Thanksgiving we visited Assiniboine Park's Duck Pond, English Garden, Leo Mol sculptures and the Pavilion's two floors of art galleries. Great time as always because there were lots of clean well maintained paths, easily found a parking spot and was budget-friendly. It's easy to spend hours watching people, birds, cyclists or looking at all the beautiful flowers, sculptures and artwork(pavilion).

    Assiniboine Park is a Winnipeg Gem. Designed when the city had great vision architecturally and maintained for our enjoyment (even improved) over the years, I will always drive through, picnic at and walk around this beautiful place. Recently becoming a dog person again, now I love going to the trails and taking my puppy for long walks. Thank you Winnipeg for Assiniboine Park, so much to do and see!! I could do without the Zoo, however - sorry, I don't believe in them anymore but to each their own! I did enjoy it as a kid... even though a part of me somehow knew monkeys in Winnipeg makes no sense ;)

  • 5/5 Curtis Miller (. 1 year ago on Google
    A gorgeous park I make my way over to anytime I can. I hope you all give it a chance It has the Winnipeg zoo, Leo gardens and the lovely duck pond. It has many trails and will keep you busy the whole day Bring your family and enjoy a picnic at one of the many benches or sitting areas around the park Or if you are feeling a little more fancy they usually have brunch at the forks pavilion building but check before hand and expect to dress up a lil. You can even walk the bridge over to pembina highway which is a lovely walk in itself Make sure to come down on Canada day to see the fireworks

  • 5/5 Jarrod J. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely beautiful place. The patio was packed the geese are out ! Soak up the last bit of summer and head to the park for some yoga a nap or even a good book.

  • 5/5 Isabelle N. 2 years ago on Google
    Possibly one of the most underrated places I have ever been to. It is so beautiful and historical. The English Gardens are something special. If ever you visit Manitoba, add this to your bucket list!

  • 5/5 Noor P. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to spend time with family and friends. If you're wondering where to throw a picture perfect picnic straight outta Pinterest, Assiniboine Park is the place to go. Also a great place for an early morning run or a bike ride.

  • 5/5 Leslie K. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful park right in the city, so many attractions. Did Zoo Lights for the first time - spectacular! The polar Bear exhibit is phenomenal! I really hope that the Winnie the Pooh museum will happen. I also hope that there are plans for an off-leash dog park, there is so much space and it would be amazing. This park is such a treasure - world class!

  • 5/5 Karen S. 2 years ago on Google
    The new Indigenous Peoples Gardens is spectacular...a beautifully set up area with gardens and areas to relax and explore!

  • 5/5 Waverley D. 2 years ago on Google
    Really love the park as a place to take a nice walk, have a picnic, or enjoy their beautiful gardens! The Leo Mol sculpture garden is my personal favourite but I’m looking forward to seeing the new diversity gardens as they take shape!

  • 5/5 Hasan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Within the city boundary of Winnipeg Assiniboine park is best park anyone can visit. From bicycle path to several in spot cafeteria to several divided theme Small park's, animal zoo, cricket practicing net. It has almost everything anyone can expect from a park to be. It's a great place for small family BBQ party or small get-together.

  • 5/5 Kris E. 1 year ago on Google
    Probably the best park in Winnipeg, with pleasant walking paths, gorgeous ponds, and stunning flowers in the English Garden. The trolly can be ridden to get around for free, and there are many interesting sights hidden around the park.

  • 5/5 john r. 10 months ago on Google
    Went to the leaf, and walk around a bit. Also had a great diner in the leaf. It is great the evolution of the park since I used to live near here as a kid. Saw some great flowers at leaf and insects shaped from plants. Planing a bile trip here soon.

  • 5/5 Cynthia M. 1 year ago on Google
    Large open field with plenty of seating space for groups or individuals. Has a cute duck pond that is home to more then just Canadian Geese and assorted ducks. With the zoo close by and the sculpture garden there's lots to see and enjoy in Winnipeg weather.

  • 5/5 Erin H. 1 year ago on Google
    It's a beautiful park, with lots to see and do, for people of all ages.. The Assiniboine Park Zoo is also within the park! It's my favorite park in the city, always has been

  • 5/5 Aneen Z. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a nice park for everyone and everything. There’s a beautiful spot for taking pictures for graduation and weddings and maybe just weekends picnic.

  • 5/5 Rose P. 2 years ago on Google
    Even on a cool cloudy day the Assiniboine Park is worth the trip. Great walking paths, it's beautiful to stroll around the duck pond and through the English Garden!

  • 4/5 William B. 1 year ago on Google
    So much more now there since I was a kid. Reserve a spot invite the whole family. Play sum soccer throw the football. Rent sum cool bikes. Marvel at the new buildings and great washrooms. They even have a bike repair station with pump and tools. Cool

  • 5/5 Alena 2 years ago on Google
    It was a very beautiful experience, especially the pond where we chatted to some lovely people

  • 5/5 Craig O. 2 years ago on Google
    Within the park we have a meticulously maintained English style garden with winding walkways around flower beds through low hanging mature trees. Additionally, have a craft beer at Cargo Bar 🍻.

  • 5/5 Shane S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great space - large park and lots do do year round. A bit of road construction at the moment but that is out of the norm. Gets busy on weekends and later in the day but going in the morning will afford you ample parking.
