Beautiful, tranquille

Loved this park! Playground is great. Lots for the kiddos to climb and swing and slide on. The river is the main event though. We tossed rocks in the river for an hour or so and could have stayed all day. Nice and quiet. Great shade. Easy parking. Good times.

Short but well maintained walking paths. In the Fall you can see salmon feeding in the river and returning to spawn in the creek. A nice park to spend an hour or so taking in nature's beauty

Great hiking trails, in the autumn you can watch the salmon run. Since it is a spawning channel it is important to be respectful of the waterway and the animals in it. Read the signage indicating protected areas and be mindful.

There is a playground and benches as well!

Nice small, short, trail along the river. Easily accessible to all ages and abilities. Might see kayakers float by, or large fish swimming up river. Popular spot to swim, tube the river, play with dogs, and hangout in the summer. There's a small playground with swings, slides, and standard park equipment.
The only thing it lacks is a standout scenic point. Closest marks are the large boulder across the river that many people jump off in the summer (locally known as big chief), or the bend across from the park where the small bridge crosses over. This is where dozens, and sometimes hundreds, of fish can be found if you choose to snorkel here.

Nice park that has a river where you can fish for salmon depending on the time of the year. The paths where nice with some wooden bridges and a nice walk through the forest. The River was nice to see and listen too. There were people fishing along the river while I walked around. The place was nice and peaceful. There was a person in an electric scooter going around too so some parts where easy to get to and move around.

This is a great park to bring the kids to swim, jump into, or just splash in the water. There are changerooms and washrooms up on the road and they are generally very clean. There are also biking and walking trails as well as a playground.
