You can never compare the wonders of immense nature in a city with another that is simply a concrete jungle. In fact, this somewhat compares to New York's Central Park. With so much action and adventure, summer is the best time of year to hang out here. You can picnic, play games or cycle, jog or walk, or just people gaze. It's a bit of a hippy playground which thrives on the tam tam jam culture but this park is just as fun in winter. I've not personally been so far but it's good for winter activities such as snowshoeing, toboganning, et al. Just ideal for those amused by typically Canadian outdoor activities. This is one of the best places to hiss away or go with a large group and is one of the larger parks that I've been to. Best part is that it's right in the city's heart. Can't go wrong here!
