“The views are amazing, overlooking the lake, it’s so quiet. The gardens are beautiful even though we went in the fall and everything should have been dead. It was well lit and groommed. Just a short walk from where we were staying. It was decorated for Halloween and had stories from around the area posted with displays all around the whole park.” – Shawnna DeMatos

“The entrance leads to a beautiful and well maintained free park. There are 2 available washrooms with drink fountains. There is plenty of parking as it previously was a zoo. They also opened a big walking parkour (less maintained, more nature-like) which you can easily take walks for an hour. We frequently encounter ducks, marmots, birds and squirrels. Lovely place to go!” – Rustic Sam

“Absolutely beautiful place! Clean, spacious, and lush. You can walk on a path (even and large) for the most part. There are tons of flowers, and many different spaces (walking areas, a park for kids, benches, open fields). There is a decent amount of parking as well. I believe there are public bathrooms too, and a water fountain in the kids’ park.” – Olivia Tessier
