| - Located just North of Unionville main this large park offers up paths for walking and biking, beautiful scenic areas for bird and other animal watching and of course with the rogue river flowing, several Geese and ducks, sometimes even turtles!
The park is regularly maintained and if not for the geese poop, very clean and well kept. Unfortunately, people do not listen to the posted signs and feed the geese, so expect moderate amounts of poop.
There are fish in the pond, bringing out the odd fishermen here and there, which like feeding the geese, is illegal. But besides that, it's a great pond for walking/biking the trails. Very romantic on the west side, where the parking lot is. The path is wider and a lot nicer than the other side. If you take the west side north, you have the option of walking a deck out into the water.
In the winter months, the ice is used by locals for hockey games, free skating even figure skating practice. It is not regulated and is frowned upon, but I do not think it is illegal. Been out for late night shinny several times and have never had a problem.
There is a big deck on the East side at the end of the path that was closed for several years until now, could be wrong but I believe new ownership took it over in 2015. Drinks and ice cream are served here now, but most people purchase those things on the main strip.
A definite must see if in Unionville!
