There's a well-maintained walking area perfect for a peaceful stroll. The kids' play area is good and there is small exercise equipment. One of the best parts is that it's within walking distance from Costco and Churchill Centre…

The park itself is good but the toilets aren't the best. They are cleanish but people use it for a gay hookup place and there is always needles around. If you just want to walk your dog, thumbs 👍 but if you need the facilities, go elsewhere. …
