    Nice park. Many paths so no need to cut through on grass. Cleared of snow in the winter too. Access to pedestrian the bridge to cross over to Jaycee park. Nice place to meet. Can also see the fireworks here pretty well when there are any.

    My senior parents and I love to grab a coffee and come sit in the park. It's very peaceful. Lots of Canada Geese or Honkers as my Mom calls them hang out here. We feed the squirrels and birds. We say hello to all the dogs and their owners

    My walk this morning started with a breakfast at the Captains Cabin Cafe. Following the path from Rennie Park across the bridge to a royal Henley park and finally concluded at Jaycees Park. Certain plaque also mentioned the pond as Martindale pond. If you are St Catharines resident try to get here once in the summer.

    We stopped in at Legion 350 in Port Dalhousie, my hometown, during a walk with our doggies.

    Wonderful local park that we did a Niagara Segway tour through. There are several very different statues and memorials. The area has a long and strong competitive rowing history that is well represented. One area seems very unknown or mystery maybe less publicly visited, the Hiroshima Memorial - "May PEACE prevail on Earth". It is an unobtrusive art piece that should be visited and the reasons it is there reflected upon. Rennie Park should be visited for the open air and well kept landscape, but don't forget to stop at the memorial.

    Great place to walk. I brought my dog. Bring water for your dog, I didn’t see any access to the lake. I love the boardwalk. A beautiful view of the water and long enough walk which leads into open area with play area for kids. Lots of huge trees to sit in the shade and take in the beauty, or have a picnic. Very peaceful park. Very well kept and clean.
