St. Thomas Elevated Park
Great park to explore some of the history of St. Thomas. There’s a free little library halfway down the trail along with some art exhibits on the bridge itself. The view is quite nice when you’re up there. Very happy to see this type of conversion made, allowing us to keep a piece of history while turning it into public green space.

This is a cool little park. Unique design that I haven't seen before. There is a bit of a shaded area at the ends of the bridge but other than that you're out in the sun.If you're passing through the area I'd say it's worth a stop to stretch your legs and check out the views.

The bridge is nice, but after the bridge I didn’t see anything else interesting just a large trail with bushes unless you like walking but little kids will get bored as it doesn’t have a playground neither washrooms. Bring a lock, there is a place where people bring and leave a lock.

St.Thomas Elevated Park is a nice place to visit. There's on site parking, and it's free. The whole experience is free, which is rare!It's definitely a nice place for a walk, an outing with your kids, or a place for your doggy to take in a few good sniffs.I love that some of the statues are interactive. Which one?! I'm not telling! You're going to have to go to see (and hear) for yourselves! Ha ha ha!

This park is so beautiful! Such an interesting attraction full of art. There's a little book store instead the train, a museum nearby, a little free library, and this gigantic elephant statue with the history behind it.It's also a great place to forage for berries. There are loads along the trails.There's no washroom at the park but there's a Tim's less than a minute away.

Very well maintained for being fully non for profit funded and the concept is very nice.On the way to the location, you'll see a few other interesting historic spots about the town of St Thomas.Bridge is nicely maintained, but they really need to cover the whole area up with beautiful structures.I love that little glass library closet where you can leave any books visitors to pick up and take with them or drop off.Has an amazing small town vibe. Great for walks honestly. Photos show what the surrounding valley looks like from the top of the elevated park.

Cleverly unique reclaimed railroad bridge. A bit shorter than expected, but with the various sculptures and art installations, it was a nice way to spend a few minutes. You can keep walking along the trail if wish, although like most railtrails it's not terribly challenging, nor scenic.But the bridge itself is! There's a little free parking lot at the beginning of the trail.

An amazing elevated park on a historic train trestle. There are benches to sit relax and enjoy the awesome view + a trail for walking and biking.

Spectacular views and something touristy to do in St. Thomas.I was in awe with the little, free library.You may want to pack a book- the concept is simple. You contribute a book; you take a book.
