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.

Visited this building sometimes ago. What attracted me here is knowing that this use to be the old RCMP HQ for New Brunswick. Very nice building with nice picture opportunity. The tours were free with I came here. I highly recommend anyone stopping by for a tour.

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!

Fredericton's City Hall, built in 1876, is the oldest one still in use in the Maritimes. Visitors are welcomed to the City at the Visitor Information Centre located in the lobby, and can tour the Council Chamber, see the restored clockworks and a series of commemorative tapestries which are on permanent display. *Until 1952, the square in front of the building was used as a public farmers market. *During the late 1800s and early 1900s, the 2nd floor was used as an Opera House, and was the entertainment center of the city. *The clock is hand wound every day. The hands are 8 ft. long and made out of copper. *In 2013, the fountain in front of City Hall was restored to its original 3-tiered height. The cherub atop the fountain is affectionately known by locals as Freddy the Nude Dude, although his formal title is Putto with Fish.
