Bowen Park

So much to see at Bowen Park. Lot's of hidden gems along the trail.We love the duck pond but be sure to bring some bird food for the kids enjoy feeding the ducks. I did not see any sign boards feeding the ducks. Correct me I am wrong.Lots of birds and other wildlife to see. It would be fun to do bird watching here.The trail is wide which is good for Social Distancing.The falls is amazing. Instagrammable beauty. We love the fall colors and the moss accent.The trail is mostly flat and easy. We enjoyed our walk and took a lot of fall pictures.I cannot believe that it is situated at the city center.

We stopped to have a bite to eat and stretch out the legs and ended up spending time walking around this beautiful gem nestled within the cityscape. Some nice trails to walk and great scenery all around. Kids had fun with the dog checking out the pathways and the waterfalls. Would definitely like to come back and spend more time finding beautiful views of this place.

Really nice forest trail with a waterfall, huckleberries, some deer, and old growth trees. There is a salmon creek as well but currently no salmon. About a half hour walk through. There is also some totem poles that have been places on the ground due to wear and tear over the years. You can get a little lost in here as there are multiple directions you can go. Smells like nature! There is also a swimming pool at this park, parking, and disc golf.

google maps says the park closes at 4:30 but i don’t think that’s true, other than that the park is really pretty and has a good amount of both sun and shade. Got a lot of pretty photos.

Volleyball horseshoe and Tennis courts, and a fine disc golf course. Magnificent trees and a scenic creek.Newly paved paths are great for cycling through the forest.Shelters and BBQ stations.Photos show the open south east part of the park. The upper area and the creek itself are even nicer.

Easy walk, really Georgus at spring when the Rhodos blossom. Good place to play tennis. Good outdoor space too. Excellent golf Frisbee area. Volleyball court too. Just a great place all around.

Easy Trails, duck pond, playground, public outdoor pool, lawn bowling, frisbee golf course - and more! Great spot to spend an hour or spend the day! This Beautiful park is filled with flowers, trees and an awesome waterfall! You’ll never know your still in the city and your kids will never want to leave. Right in town so close to all amenities. 5 stars for sure - enjoy!

Wonderful place to spend some hours with your family.

An absolute gem in the middle of Nanaimo. 10/10 would recommend.

I ❤️ Bowen ParkNestled in the heart of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, it's a true gem to behold. Doesn't matter what time of year. You can walk, run, ride your bike while enjoying many services and activities. In the summer, the Park offers you Tennis courts, City Pool, Lawn Bowling, and a Frisbee course.Bowen Park also features many trails. A short walk reveals spectacular views, from a the large natural Duck Pond, beset from an amphitheater where there is seasonal entertainment. Many trails and gardens down to the beauty of the Millstone River that runs through it. Here you can follow the many trails to waterfalls, see some of the many species of birds and other wildlife, the fountain pond and cross bridges along the way.Easy access to picnic areas with plenty of parking for both upper and lower parks.
