Jackson Park

Really lovely forest trails to walk through, especially during fall. The rivers/creeks that run through the trail are delightful and a perfect spot for your pup to have a drink or a swim if you’re walking the dog. Parking can be a bit iffy, especially on a weekend, but otherwise, it’s fine. Lots of other mini trails all around the place if you look.

Peaceful and well maintained! Not much parking available. 20 vehicles or so max. If you have respiratory issues, please be careful as the gravel road causes clouds of dust each time a biker passes by or if there's wind. Wasn't crowded therefore people don't tend to wear masks there.

The owner is a very nice person.we talked a lot with herThe place is clean and confortable

Went on wonderful adventure with my dog. So much to see and smell! It was great using the shallow creek for overcoming his fear of water.We preferred staying on the west side of the creek where there are more natural paths and fewer passing bicyclists but even on the pond side, the paths are wide enough to be enjoyed at a safe and comfortable distance from other park visitors. Additionally, multiple entrances (both off Fairbairn and off Parkhill) are also great because they further distribute visitor traffic and reduce crowding.My biggest concern here is the number of people who walk their dogs off-leash -there are signs reminding people of local bylaws and pet etiquette; all dogs are *supposed* to be leashed, but there is no enforcement of this. I would be wary of walking a puppy or any dog in training because it can be difficult avoiding sudden encounters with irresponsible owners.It is especially bad in winter, when the paths get icy and you lose traction and stability. It is difficult to react when a loose dog suddenly rushes towards you.

Omg! It's such a peaceful place to let go off your stress. One can go pick either parkway trail or Jackson creek trail to embrace this beautiful hub of nature. I thoroughly enjoyed the calmness of the park alongside the beautiful lake.

Always a beautiful place to get into nature

Most of the bicycle path is slippery with frozen/semi frozen ice please wear appropriate shoes when walking along the creek/or bicycle path, in winter

Very nature world, full of ancients trees and a great history... Amazing Nature Paradise...
