    Beautiful park! Lots of trails for walking, jogging, biking. Picnic pavilion also, and lots of grassy areas to lay down a blanket to relax. Runs beside 12 Mile creek and the escarpment. Nice views!

    A great variety of activity opportunities with biking/hiking paths, a dryer and wide track if raining. Great for walking/running, lookout areas over valleys and lots of areas to sit. No restrooms, or playground, but one picnic table and shelter.

    It's a nice spot to sit under the gazebo, or do some laps around a circular path. If you're adventurous, it's also linked to some more challenging trails!

    Love this park. Access to great hiking. Great views, especially in the fall. Only a couple picnic tables though...and Porto potties, but better than nothing!

    Rotary Park offers residents a well manicured trail and grassy area for walking and a more difficult cross-country style trail for the advanced hiker. Located minutes from the Bruce Trail, walkers, hikers, and bikers can use this park to enjoy the forestested area and wildlife in St.Catharines. It amazes me that this park is in some local residents' backyards. This is a great area to enjoy a little bit of the beauty Niagara has to offer.

    The city well maintained the park, have bathrooms, a gazebo and lots of parking. Many people are meeting here to go to explore the trails. We always come by here for a walk like others with their dogs, kids and friends. Come and enjoy your day too.

    We love to train here. They even have Johnny on the spot washroom facilities so you can actually picnic on a table and hang out for a while. Lots of bikers and walkers alike.

    Just moved the area not too long ago and have been to this park a couple times. The gazebo is really nice to sit under when it gets too hot and the view is amazing. Decent sized parking lot and a nice quiet area. Great place to bring the family and enjoy the outdoors.

    Interesting history about origins of Rotary Club, Welland canal, preservation of Carolinian forest, and Laura Secord's walk from her house to Decew house. Maps out route with plaques along 12 Mile Creek.

    Very nice park also need play ground for kids

  • 5/5 Arthur F. 1 year ago on Google
    One of my favourite places in St. Catharines. You can come here for a quick stroll and to take in the great view, but it's also lovely to go off on the trails if you're feeling more adventurous. Both are beautiful, highly recommend.

    Excellent park for walking or running. Not much shade, but a nice open view of the escarpment. Attaches to trails for mountain biking as well, and with lots of parking and a good location, it's a great place to start a mountain or road ride. Definitely worth checking out if you're nearby, don't expect a long trail though, it's only about a 1000m loop.

    Great place to go for a walk with the kids

    A beautiful spot along the 12 mile creek. A must go to for any local Niagara Folk or anyone stopping in the area for any reason. Great for Pokemon Go enthusiasts.
