Top 7 Nature & Parks in Fredericton, Canada

March 18, 2022 Emerita Lamoureux

Spread along both sides of the majestic St. John River, Fredericton combines the coziness of a small town with the world-class institutions of a city much larger than this humble capital. Tree-lined streets and suburban neighborhoods of Victorian-era homes live harmoniously alongside three universities, countless historic sites, museums, riverfront trails and restaurants featuring local and international cuisines. Fredericton also boasts a number of world-renowned festivals.

Over 115kms of converted Railway lines promote an active and environmentally-friendly recreational tourist network. With over 115kms of groomed trials (23kms paved), they transverse Fredericton and connect NB Trial routes forming loops from the Mactaquac Dam to Oromocto and beyond along the both shores of the Saint John River. One hour or one day trips, for the adventurous and families alike.

Joined the trail behind Isaac's Way Restaurant and headed across the old railway bridge. Was able to ride on paved, then gravel trail for about 12.5 kms before I decided to turn back. Trail was well maintained and easily accommodated bike riders, runners, walkers, and strollers. On the way back, went down to the road into Marysville, met back up with the trail and took the branch trail through Marysville. A great place to ride and would certainly recommend the trail.

Officers' Square

One of Fredericton’s most beautiful and historic areas, Officers’ Square was named one of the Top 10 Public Spaces in Canada! It was a centre of military activity when Fredericton was garrisoned by the British and Canadian Armies. During July and August, it is the site for outdoor summer concerts, the Changing of the Guard ceremony, daily outdoor theatre, and a variety of festivals and events throughout the year.

Great spot to walk around and see the changing of the guard!! Lots to see and do in this area, its a great hub. Also watched some children's theatre activities here. On less busy days I liked to get lunch and read a book at a picnic table in the park. Public washrooms in the square too, and water fountain!

Wilmot Park

Reviewed By DrDance57 - Dartmouth, Canada

Great for kids! Swings, slides and splash pad! Although splash pad is closed. I played in this park in the 1960s and took my kids there when we would return to visit my parents and I took my grandchildren here and they loved it as much as I did.
