    Nice little park in downtown with a gazebo, a lot of statues and benches. Its paths look like a British flag from the air.

    Great place to relax and meet local people. Well maintained and clean. Minutes walk to downtown Saint John. All major attractions of the city are around such as City Market, City Hall, New Brunswick Mall, Banks and Cafes. Lots of benches to sit and statues of historic figures. A classic, historic, and inviting urban park, King's Square is located in uptown Saint John at the head of King Street and bounded by Sydney, Charlotte, King's Square North, and King's Square South Streets. A salute to the Loyalist heritage of the city's founders, its pathways were designed in the shape of the British Union flag. The square is home to several monuments and plaques paying homage to individuals who helped shape the City’s heritage. Many of the tall trees that stand in the Square today were planted for the 1883 Centennial Celebrations of the landing of the Loyalists in Saint John. In 1909, the City Coronet Band donated the unique two-storey bandstand, located in the Square's centre, as a tribute to King Edward VII. Source: Official Website

    Great place to relax in the city. Well maintained and clean. Minutes walk to downtown mall. Coffee shops around the corner. If you have a coffee time stand still in this historical but elegant park.

    The Kings Square park, a nice area to walk around with many statues and areas to sit. There's nice flowers, and pathways. Although it can be pretty messy / trash everywhere, and many hundreds of pigeons.

    A nice little park in the middle of downtown. Plenty of places to sit, plenty of statues and a nice central fountain and gazebo piece. The park did have quite a few sketchy people during the daytime so I'm not sure what it's like a night. I drove by it and the lighting looked very cool, but that's all I could see. I nice place to sit and eat your lunch or just relax in the sun.

    Put new Treads on my MTB. So, know better way to test them out then riding around in the snow. Last night (Monday, 4th,23),was pretty gnarly out. The combination of running Kenda 1.95 inch 80/20's in front and the Rear, Kenda 2.10 inch aggressive tread work amazing. Like there wasn't even snow on the ground.

    It's a nice park in the city centre but only visit it if you have tons of spare time in Saint John. The other attractions in the region are by far more significant

    It's worth a look see if you are in the downtown area. If you happen to be visiting the Saint John City Market. Stroll over and enjoy the well manicure lawn and flower beds. The old 1909 Bandstand has been beautifully restored and makes for a good photo op. Perhaps a selfie?

    Love going to king square just wish like I have since I was a kid that they would use the 2nd floor of the gazebo and have the musicians playing up there like days of old.

    A really nice public space and an asset to the area.

  • 5/5 Human Condition (. 3 years ago on Google
    It's been a hub for Saint John for over a century. After the 'Great Fire' in 1877, displaced citizens stayed there in tents etc. They added a unique bandstand. Only 1 other exists somewhere in South America. It was restored about 6 years ago and still has live music in the summer. The statues are beautiful.

    Great spot to hang out when you need a little break also really cool water fountain ⛲️ you can feed the pigeons they recognize your faces which is quite neat and cool we enjoy the beauty of the downtown where there’s lots of different places to choose from Written By: Liam Van Stone

  • 5/5 Jeremie L. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice historical spot to go sit as there's is multiple beach/tables and eat a bite just make sure to not leave your meal unattended as the birds will take it 🀣. If your afraid of pigeons this is deffinetly not a place to go as there's tons of them at this spot, often people will throw them food or nuts, etc.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Likely the 2nd best viewing spot of the Reversing Falls. Might be a better area to view the rapid speed of the falls moving either way. There's many parking spots, and the walk isn't far to the viewing platform. Be sure to check the tidal times, as they can very daily.
