Bradley-Craig Park

👍👍 I’m always in search of fun parks for my young kids. A nice pathway, gazebo and lots of green is a cherry on top for the parents! This park checks everything on my list. New, variety of play structures and a great splash pad. My kids had a blast here, and honestly, with the double swing, I did, too!...

👍👍 This skatepark is well kept with seriously smooth pavement! The spot is "open-concept" with ample space to ride & catch a breeze! Easy-access parking too which is nice. I will definitely be going back.

Eugène Martineau Park
Park
👍👍 New park with quite a big area. Unique play structures, skate and basketball courts, hills for skateboardists and BMX bikers. Splash pad is very cool, but is closed as of August 2023. Hopefully it will be opened next year. Not enough trees and consequently shade.

😠 Called a park though all roads which could give you access are considered private and it would be a miracle if you could come here from the river.

James and Marie Fox Park

👍 Never ceases to amaze me how people who fish cares so little about the environment. You would think they wouldn’t throw their trash along the river bank. Disgusting.

👍 This park is small but nice for a walk around with a lovely view. It is tucked away in a quiet corner. Good spot to build a snowman in the winter or have a picnic in the summer.
