This park was super-awesome and fun and stuff! It's giant-sized and has tons of squiggly, rolly, hilly paths, little roads, a giant staircase, waterfalls, a secret chair, gates, lookout points for making out, and a burbling creek runs right through it and everything! I took my ladyfriend, Bella and she loved it! We even had to break up a squirrel fight that got ugly! It was super fun! You should go! The end.

The Thames River flows along this park, and there is even a Kiwanis Music Park right on the park site for people to play at with the musical instruments that are set up there. How cool is that! There are lots of nice, quiet, peaceful trails that make up this park - this is an ideal place to get your exercise done at, or even just unwind at or meet up with friends at. The park is overall well maintained and kept well clean. Just be mindful of the numerous geese that take over this park. You therefore will want to watch your step while walking - you sure don't want to step on top of their crap! I wish more people knew about how serene of an experience Gibbons Park provides. It truly is the best park in the city, at least in my opinion.

Community pool, splash pad, several playgrounds, beautiful trees, and riverside scenery make for an…read moreabsolutely gorgeous outing for families. Usually has outhouses, especially during the summer when it's crowded, so washrooms are readily available! Lots of seating - both benches and picnic tables for large groups. The park is bursting with paved bike paths, and a foot bridge that crosses the Thames river right near all the action. There's a pavilion and other standard park fair. Cross the foot bridge, and you're in Waldorf park just across the river, which is just a few blocks from Western's campus. There's plenty of parking, but be warned: it's a 3 hour maximum, and they will enforce this. One of the best parks in London!

Komoka Provincial Park is an excellent place to spend a day taking a hike!…read more There's a few things worth noting if you're going to head here for the first time: - It's not very accessible via city bus, so it is best to carpool - Don't rely on your smartphone to give you accurate directions to the entrance. My group had a few people end up near Sifton Bog rather than Komoka thanks to plugging the park's address into their maps app. Instead, just find the park on GoogleMaps and drop a pin, or just look for the sign off Oxford St. or Gideon Dr. - The older map of the park trails you'll find online on the Middlesex County website and that is sometimes distributed around town (the map without any satellite image shown under the trail lines) is outdated from what I could tell. It states that dogs are only allowed on certain trails, but this rule isn't listed elsewhere and when we arrived at the White trailhead (where the old map said "walking only", so we assumed dogs were not allowed. It says 'leashed pets' for the other 3 trails), there were no posted restrictions and lots of people walking dogs. - The trails are not super challenging, but there are parts with large tree roots, rocks, and somewhat steep inclines. - The trails are marked with blazes or small arrows. There are portions where it is possible to get lost. It is important to stay aware and remember when you've taken a turn, etc. - The park has no staffing or facilities, so be prepared to take out what you bring in. People had left piles of dog poop bags and empty cups, etc. at the entrance, which is gross. Please carry your trash out! The trails are mostly shady and through heavy forest, which makes this a pleasant place to walk on a hot day. There are portions through open field though, so don't neglect sunscreen!

As someone who lived overlooking this park for many years I must tell you it is a an absolute…read moredelight. Conveniently located almost right at the forks of the Thames it is also along the Thames Valley Parkway and sees a lot of bikes and rollerblading and hikers when the weather allows. While Victoria Park sees most of the festival action, you can often find something going on here on the weekends and the Canada Day fireworks are a must attend event. It's quite a large park and offers lots of room for picnics, frisbee or whatever outdoor activity your heart might desire. It's a delightful spot to take in a little nature right in the heart of the city!

While Victoria gets to shine in the heart of downtown, Harris Park is a hidden gem tucked in beside…read morethe Thames River. This park has a ton of green space, a small play park, and a great trail for running/biking. There is also a beach volleyball court. Before the days of IMPark down in Harris, it was easy to park your car and go for a run or play a game of v-ball, but now you have to pay. The trails here can lead you far and wide across the city of London. It is really neat to see how far they can take you. You wont find this park jam packed with festivals every weekend. From Rock the Park, to fireworks during Victoria Day, it is a nice space to be active or hang out to get away from it all. The geese can kind of be an annoyance, especially when they use the walkways as their bathroom but hey, thats nature! I've seen some really cute ducklings while walking the trails. Be sure to watch for warnings about high water during the spring time. It can be dangerous. Definitely visit Harris Park, even if you are stopping in at the nearby museum, it would be a great spot for a picnic!

Most of the benches and picnic tables were occupied and with the number of people walking around and some holding food, I think they could have more seating. I like how easy it was to find the park and just enjoy a walk and rest on the bench, as there were some that provided shade too. It's nice to walk through a park inside of the car filled streets. There were no events during the time we were there, but I could see myself visiting often if I Iived in London.
