It was the bust of Daniel David Palmer, the founder of chiropractic. Cool! Normally, it takes me some online research to figure out the history behind why a park has been named after someone. I liked that this park is a national historic site. Palmer was raised in Port Perry, self-educated, and created chiropractic treatment in North America. Yes, he totally deserves having a gorgeous park named after him. I appreciated the plaque of information, as I continued enjoying my treat while reading. Palmer park is huge! There are plenty of park benches. There's a playground and splash pad for kids, which was being used a ton of them on a 28°C mid-September day. You also get a nice view of the water, with folks fishing and walking. My gelato-sorbetto was melting. I decided to park myself and enjoy it. I was near the Port Perry grain elevator. I threw my empty up in the garbage and then read the plaque. This elevator is the oldest building in downtown Port Perry and sruvived a major fire. Impressive engineering! The Lakefront farmer's market is held at this park. I can see why. It's gorgeous and it's a nice gathering place for folks to shop, walk, and hang out. I liked being here on a sunny Saturday. I want to retire here! (381)

    The parking lot is a short walk to the sandy beach. There are some rocks when entering the lake but…read morethey aren't a problem if you wear water shoes. The water is shallow and safe. In June the water is cold but your body will adapt quickly on a warm day. Power boats aren't allowed in the roped off swimming area. There are picnic tables and a general store that sells fast food and souvenirs. The bathrooms are fairly clean with flush toilets, sinks and mirrors. The park also has change rooms. They offer educational sessions for children at certain times. The only thing keeping me from giving this provincial park 5 stars is the reservation process. Once you reserve a day pass, you can't get a refund if the weather forecast changes to cold or rainy and you can't even move your reservation to another date. So your money is lost. But if you don't reserve in advance for a Saturday or Sunday in the summer, there's a chance they will be full. The website doesn't give a price for seniors. There is a discount but it's well hidden.

    Sibbald's provincial park is a great place for families. They have activities throughout the summer…read moreteaching kids and families about the different things around the park. A few walking trails. Some nice little fishing holes close by.
