Beautifully laid out lawns and flowers. Very peaceful. So quiet and calm to walk around or rest after walking a lot to the Falls and up and down the streets with so much activity and so many people. A nice, peaceful and quiet break to the day.

A really nice park which is a great spot to walk through and enjoy the outdoors. You can walk through this park at a quiet time and hear the shear power of the falls. Well worth visiting when in the area.

A beautiful area to walk through, to admire the flower gardens, shrubs, trees and wildlife. A relaxing spot, where you can catch a view of the American Falls, or the Canadian Horseshoe falls. There are restrooms nearby, and spots to picnic. Sometimes a refreshing break from the hustle and bustle of Clifton Hill.

Coming here for the first time was a wow moment. Tulips were in season and the backdrop- the falls. I saw patrolmen, maybe to ensure safety in the area. This is the middle of the fallsview trail area, so a good start to your sightseeing adventure.
In summer (June–Sept), flowers peak and daily fireworks run May–Oct at 10 PM. In fall, gardens feature autumn colors—bring layers. Winter offers illuminated falls from 5 PM but limited blooms. In spring, paths may be muddy—wear water-resistant shoes.
