    Spectacular light display!! The amount of work it had to have taken to make the perfect setting for a Winter Wonderland. Who doesn't like a food truck too?

    One of the best park in Windsor. Especially during the Christmas time when they arranged Windsor’s wonderland and lights and everything. People feel good when they see all kinds of decorations, lights and sculptures. Thanks to each and everyone who made this possible. Kudos to Windsor

    Have lots of free parking..benches and an awesome place to spend the evening. Nice blossoms towards the left side of the park. And if you are looking to click some pictures with tulips nearby this is a good place! Yellow, red, white..can find almost all the colors here. Grab a coffee and walk around this wonderful park..

    Wow, a fantastic display. Formerly from Windsor, I live near Toronto. We saw something similar at the Botanical Gardens in Largo, Florida, but not as elaborate as Windsor. We found out through a video posted on Facebook. Unfortunately we didn't know where to park our car. I had an elderly parent to escort and we walked from the Kennedy high-school parking lot far away. There was no direct entrance from the Kennedy campus. It was a challenging distance on a narrow sidewalk with many curbs and other tripping hazards. This is great opportunity for Windsor tourism. Please work on the parking and you will get this perfect.

    Enjoyed the Christmas lights at this park. We went to Windsor for a weekend trip and stayed near the riverfront. We had planned to visit the Point Pelee National Park on Saturday entire day. We had some time to kill on Friday evening. Naturally we wanted to explore the city and restaurants. We stumbled upon this park while we were passing this area by seeing the lights display. We stopped by and had a tour. It was awesome. Though it was cold bit still we toured the entire park and saw all the light displays. Took so many photos and enjoyed the crowd as well. Children will definitely enjoy this place and you can easily spend 2-4 hours here. There were parking around the park and it was easy to find one. Once you enter the park you can plan how to cover the displays. The Christmas tree is definitely worth visiting. For children, you can even take the toy train which will give you a short tour. There are ample light displays and you will not get bored guaranteed. Washrooms are there if you have to use and a lot of food courts were also there for quick food. Definitely worth visiting during Christmas if you are in Windsor and all this for FREE.

    Bright lights show is on and it is wonderful. Very nice paved walkways and lots of lights and photo ops. Great family outing. Parking available at the school.

    Everything is dying, even the trees in Queen's Garden. There's no water in the fountain and it's full of trash. What a waste of a beautiful park/garden. It reminds me of the year the city was on strike all over again πŸ’” the flowers I posted is literally the only flower bed in the whole garden where the flowers weren't rotted before they could even bloom!! The Christmas Lights are such a beautiful family outing though.

    This park is beautiful and highly recommend it. In the summer they have an amazing garden, great for pictures or just walking around. Last time I was there we noticed several families having professional pictures taken. In the winter they put on an amazing light display that you can walk around. It is pretty extensive and I was surprised at how nice it was. I added some photos from my recent trip in the summer

    Would be a 5 star if I hadn't seen multiple druggies and a vibrator sitting on the bench. Besides that it is a very beautiful park. Great for dogs especially since they have a fountain that has a bowl portion for dogs

    Absolutely beautiful during the holidays. Went with my mum for the first time this year and was pleasantly surprised with the light display, absolutely whimsical! And there were a couple food trucks near the entrance as well, and the public washrooms are quite clean.

    Best place to visit in Windsor Ontario during Christmas and New Year. Park is decorated with Christmas lights, and in the evening, it has an awesome view. Evening's are the best time to visit during Christmas and New Year

    It's awesome during the Christmas and New Year . The Garden has been decorated with lights all around, and it's open for all to come and visit the place. Recommend to visit after sunset to view the beauty of light. Also, I can enjoy the toy train ride, which is until 8 pm. I suggest 6 Visiting little early to enjoy the train ride . The line for taking a ride is quite long during late hours

    Amazing place with some great amenities. If you've never tried the game of lawn bowls I suggest trying it out at the Windsor Lawn Bowling Club right in the park.

    Such a beautiful park all year round! Recently visited the lights at night and it is so gorgeous!! You could spend ages looking at everything, with plenty nice photo ops. The marketplace was also lovley, with some food and small businesses.

    What a fantastic park this is. We casually stumbled upon it after we got some takeout at a nearby restaurant and we're looking for a place to eat our food at. Parking lot is a generous size. Washrooms onsite is handy. The grounds are absolutely beautiful, well maintained. Seems to be a lot of war/war victim monuments, which was very cool to see. We'll definitely come back next Summer and enjoy it during the peak season. Highly recommend stopping here if you're looking for a park. 5/5. Follow me for more reviews, photos and tips.

    Nice park. Has a variety of flowers and plants. The memorial statues are nice too. And the plane models are very cool as well. Only downside is that there are a lot of mosquitoes and insects in the evening because of the plant life, so bring some repellent. Good place to relax and enjoy.

    They did a good job with this display. The various sections are intentional and flow well. Given COVID they had arrows to direct traffi. Some of the sections were closed when I went due to high winds and safety precautions. I recommend checking out the lights- a grwat reason to be outside this winter.

    Beautiful but all this COVID stuff makes everything not so beautiful. To many rules for nothing.

    Went there on New Years eve for the light festival they were having. The place was very nicely decorated with lots of lighting. Lots of beautiful attractions to take pictures. Wasn't too busy when we visited. Had bunch of food trucks in the parking space. The washroom was very clean with stocked toiletries. Overall had an amazing time.

    Bright light is best event usually happens in holidays. Best time to go this is 05:30 pm to 10:00 pm till January 07th 2024. Enjoyed different kind of lights and toy train ride. My recommendation is must try before event closes.

  • 4/5 R K. 2 years ago on Google
    No organization. Arrows directing traffic but they are hard to follow and nobody actually is. Lights are soo beautiful though.

  • 5/5 R.V I. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing park with real planes and very well maintained. Free parking but still an empty lot on a long weekend. Looks like windsor's locals do not appreciate what they have. Same with Ojibway Park and the riverfront, way better than Detroit's but still relatively empty.

  • 5/5 chef s. 4 months ago on Google
    Best Park In windsor, lights In Park for Christmas πŸŽ„ every year awesome. Well maintained. Best place for kids, families ....

  • 5/5 Tom B. 1 year ago on Google
    Splash pad is great and free. Easy change rooms and relatively easy parking even on peak Saturday afternoon in the summer.

  • 5/5 shiju v. 1 year ago on Google
    It’s a amazing park in the middle of the city. There are plenty of parking and well maintained gardens. The location is great for a picnic or walk around with your family and friends. It is excellent location for outdoor pictures and photo shoot. The washroom is neatly maintained.

  • 5/5 Katia B. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing place for taking walks, barbecuing, or just sitting on the benches to enjoy the weather. They have magnolia trees and a certain type of cherry blossom tree in spring. In summer, they showcase a variety of tropical plants.

    8/11/23: Absolutely gorgeous park. There's a lot to see and plenty of places to relax while enjoying the scenery. The flowering job in the main square area was exceptionally beautiful; I can tell a lot of work went into maintaining it. There were a lot of monuments to observe as well(quite a bit more than shown in the pictures), and it was nice to read some of the history surrounding them. There's also a small splashpad and kid playground on the other side(that I neglected to get pics of =0(... )that is also very nice. The only downside is that to get to it, you either have to go under the bridge of Ouellette(if you're on the south end of the park), which isn't nicely developed(at least not yet) or drive to the other side(if you're on the northern end). But its not really that bad under the bridge part; just a bit of dirt road.

    Haven't had an opportunity to walk around the gardens here in summer for a while since I'm only ever visiting Windsor in the winter and going for the lights display. It's such a nice park, good alternative to walking along the river for a change of scenery.

  • 4/5 Kevin L. 1 year ago on Google
    A unique park with airplanes and lots of gardens. Had seen it driving by heading to work in London but decided to stop with the family.
