Park downtown Kingston, with access to the ferries and marina. Easy to get to from the highway …read more Nice spot to enjoy some ice cream or picnic. They have statues/ art, a fountain, an old time train and tourist office. There is also a walk from Ottawa to Kingston that goes through the park. Came on a cloudy day so wasn't too busy and the ferries were closed. The highlight and main attraction was the Kingston life size letters to take photos with as the "I".

I know probably no one will go to this park, but I had to put a review here…read more On my drive between Montreal and Toronto, we needed to have a pit stop to have a quick bite to eat and to stretch our legs. I planned on only staying for 15 minutes max, so we could get to Toronto sooner. Then, after finally hitting downtown and parking in a garage (it was $1 for 30 min...), I said "We have 30 mins max." We walked to the park, which was amazing. People were outside, the fountain was beautiful, and the weather was absolutely perfect (I know the park didn't make the weather nice, but still). There were hot dog vendors out (there were like 6, and I got the Polish sausage, which was divine). There was a street sidewalk fair of the people in the area selling various goods (I bought some homemade soap and I got some locally grown blueberries to snack on). We eventually stayed for a little over an hour. It was an hour well spent. If you are ever making the drive from Montreal to Toronto (or the other way), and the weather is nice, I highly recommend decompressing at this quaint little town. You will not be disappointed! BTW, the downtown is vibrant, lots of places to eat, hang out.

Lemoine Point is a beautiful park area in all seasons. I'm constantly surprised by the range of…read morewildlife you can observe - and close up, I might add! There are a range of trails to follow that wind around the point and you can cover at least 5 km in a loop. Bicycles are allowed on certain paths, while only runners and walkers are allowed in other areas. There are plenty of picnic areas and benches and the wooded areas overlooking the water are a great photo op. It's a beautiful place that Kingston is lucky to have within reach of downtown.

Love this place! Being from Muskoka, these hiking trails warmed my heart. I've lived in Kingston…read morefor a while now it was awesome to get out of the city. This chipmunks and squirrels and even the bird will come right into your hand . Had a woodpecker land and take a peanut

Oh my Goodness! What a beautiful find!!!! We were there on a Monday in late July, on a highly windy…read moreand hot day. The sky, sand, and water were all beautifully clear and stunning. We had such a large area of the beach all to ourselves. We were there for a few hours, and probably could have stayed longer. My partner said it was the most Caribbean looking beach he's ever been to not actually in the Caribbean. Things to note: Conditions might be quite different on different days. Apparently, the 1.3 trail to the beach can be wet and buggy (not when we were there!) and the water can have more algae (though it was stunningly clear during our visit). $15/person fee, with discounts for families.

Nice getaway just outside the urban fringe of Kingston. Trails are wide and well maintained,…read morethough some could be better marked--you hit some trail junctions where it's not entirely clear which path is the one you've been following. Near the south end of the area you'll hear quite a bit of road noise from the 401. Scenery is nothing exceptional, though it's likely you're not coming here expecting that. The reservoir itself is very pleasant, a large if weedy pond surrounded by cattails. All we saw on it was a brood of geese, though I'd expect you could see quite a few waterbirds here if you timed your visit right. Nothing special as parks go, I suppose, but a very welcome place to escape the concrete for a while.

Rotary Park is small, but that is part of its charm. It is kind of hidden away from the rest of the…read moreworld. Because of this, the rather old playground equipment is still in great shape, and my daughter loves it. Little slide? Check. Big slide? Check. Plastic twisty slide? Check. It has everything a 3 year old could ever wish for! Lots of swings and climbing equipment, too. Of course, it's also great for adults, as they have a dog park, various walking trails, a pavillion available for rental, many picnic tables throughought the park, and access to the waterfront, which is great for feeding ducks.
