I did not expect this place to be so amazing because it’s in the middle of the city! They have tons of trails and they were pretty easy to navigate, well maintained so you can easily spend a whole day here. There are picnic tables out in front and some places to set up inside the park as well. I loved the loops and the hikes. They were unique despite being in the middle of an urban area. Must try the loop around the damn. 5/5 recommend. It also has a biking trail but we didn’t go on it.
This is one of the greatest parks in the area and (in our opinion) the province - it just has so many amazing features like: hills, lookouts, staircases, gazebos, waterfalls, gorges, creeks and rivers, numerous trails, picnic areas, exercise area, and sports/play fields! Definitely worth visiting multiple times just due to the amount of various activities possible.
Lovely park, looked like some hurricane damage but otherwise very well maintained. Could be more signage as it wasn't clear at the very large staircase that you didn't need to go up it to see the waterfalls. Also only saw a portion of it because the park was very large.
Excellent place for one day family trip. My kid enjoyed being there. I would say day spent well. Ample parking, maintained well. Toilets can be better.
I'm new to the area and I am still in awe of how amazing this park is! Great for hiking, trail running or mountain biking. There are a variety of trails from accessible to all to challenging so there really is something for everyone. The waterfalls are beautiful!
Enjoyed the hike despite the cloudy drizzling weather. Visited Joe Howe Falls, the Waddell Falls and Wood Street Lookout.
The path to Five Corners was closed today, so we didn’t get to see it. If we visit Truro again next time, we will come back to the park to explore the other areas.
BTW, we were lucky to come across two deers during our hiking.
Amazing place and it’s a best spot for a weekend get away and you can sit and relax there whole day and it’s really a great experience. Highly recommended to everyone.
Great park overall. Could capitalize on the recent storm destruction in September of 2022 in some way. Love the trails here, however I wish that some of the paved areas were maintained a bit better especially near the main entrance of the park.
If you pass by Truro, stop here, you won't regret. It has everything, falls, stairs, alot of them, trails, bridges. Very pretty and charming. Be prepared for the stairs, some of them are very steep. Washrooms, a lot of parkings, well kept, free. The best of Truro. Must beautiful as hell in the fall.

Beautiful! The falls - both upper and lower - are amazing! Worth every minute and the newly restored Jacobs ladder - a good workout. Approx 16 flights!
