    Such a cute little light show! Will make any age smile. If you are looking for a romantic place to take photos, it checks that box. If you are looking for kids to have a good time, also that box as well! Lots of cool and cute places to take photos ! Highly recommend.

    Good truck festival was so bad this year co.psted to the year prior. This year that plays featured a cover band was played hits from Alanis Morissette and other commercial hits from way back. Unfortunately my experience with the food left a lot to be desired this year. The prices were really unreasonable. I was charged $9 for a watered-down lemonade. When I ordered a taco from a place I did last year, it took over 30 min, while everybody next to me got served. My order just didn't come to me, I asked a few times. Portions are much smaller this year, I assume they paid a lot to be there, which messed up any good customer relations. Families look very disappointed as they walk around without food. Kids seems sad. It was too much money.

    Pretty small park with holiday lights. It’s free and has street side parking. Very nice for an evening stroll for people who live nearby!

    This park is one peaceful and friendly place. I love the proximity of the Pickering Central Library and the City Hall; they add character to this park. Because it is minutes away from the Pickering Town Centre, the convenience for those who wish to shop and relax after a long day is a great idea. Washrooms are available in the library and there are garbage bins all over for recyclables and litters. The trees around here are mature and displays good canopies but it is the herbal garden at the park's centre that brings people together; it is simple but has a good variety of flowers and herbaceous plants.

    Great little parkette beside the Pickering town hall and library. Lots of places to sit and read. Many events held here through the year. Good place to walk or exercise.

    Host all the Pickering events here. Good place for it, can get a bit crowded. Usually setup tents etc on the grass, that can make it a bit harder to get to them for people with accessibility issues as there agents many access points to the grass that aren't curbed

    This is a nice strolling and lunch park. There is no play ground or dedicated dog area. It is great to sit and read a book, have your lunch or go for a walk. This park in doubles as an area for city events. Rib fest, Shakespeare in the park, artfest, winter market.

    Customer service is amazing, librarians are informative and attentive to our needs. Thanks to Rachel warm smile, I have decided to sign up for a library card.

    Pretty small area. There are some lights, but nothing special. Might be more interesting for smaller kids

    Went here for ribfest and it was great. A little but overpriced if you are buying a tickets when you go but otherwise it was really nice. Even without the ribfest being there, it's a rather nice area with a library nearby if you want to go inside and read or cool down in the hot air. Great area and it's great during the ribfest season!
