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.
