Reviews of Whittier Park (Park)

Peter Paley

I have walked in this part every day with my dogs for 5 years. Lots of great trails and well shaded if it's hot out.

Daniel G

Fun times at festival!

Mario Laliberte (McMario & McMusic)

(Translated) Easy parking. Very large park and availability for school trips. (Original) Facilité à stationnement. Très grand parc et disponibilités pour les sortie scolaire.

Henry Penner

Has a nice baseball diamond for junior leagues.

Alain JM Fradet

Excellent activities for the kids!

Rob

Beautiful, and peaceful park. I was here on January 20th, and they look like they are getting ready for Festival duVoyageur. Lots of workers bustling around clearing snow and seeing up fences.

Brent Brentnall

I am there mostly for the river trails of a few yearly events. Wide open spaces, excellent ball diamonds and lots of options for multi purpose paths not only in this park but an adjacent one and more. Added bonus Fort Gibraltar although access to the fort itself is very limited.

Michael Farris

A park in the heart of the downtown right across from the Forks but far less crowded. Parking is easy and walks along the Red are pleasant. Consider it for a bicycle destination or a picnic. With a little work you can connect to city-wide bicycle paths Facilities include historic Fort Gibraltar and high-end baseball and soccer fields. In the winter a toboggan slide and ice climbing tower. Strictly, dogs must be leashed but most aren't. It's canine heaven.

Ah Rin Park

Good place to go for a walk and to see historical venue

Shez Rajan

Great park and great lighting for late night games. Love playing here

Pitbosskev

Great bike trails. They run along the river and within the forest area.

Wendy Zielke

Lots to see and do here during the festival du Voyager

Zonker Harris

I like it cause it is still somewhat wild. You can ( if lucky) see wildlife in and around this oasis. Still undeveloped. Great for hikes, moutainbiking and walking the dog( exercise caution if off-leash is your thing).

C G

Great place for mountain biking.

Rita

Great place to hold the Festival du Voyageur! Except for parking that is.

CC Stebankey

Great park for walking along the river. Fort G is neat, too. One of my favorite local greenspaces.

Craig Woodward

I've only every been here in winter during 'Le Festival'. Lots to see and do if you're an adult with an interest in history. Lots of music and drinking in the evenings, it's a struggle to keep kids entertained here for much more than an hour or two.

Curt Gui

Lots of great bike trails.

Fearocious Fearocious

A nice ball park by the river. Whittier Park is one of the 3 venues for baseball at the 2017 Canada Summer Games.

gravittii

Actors living out the OLD TIMES. Its a very quick and short visit. Don't expect anything great! The website exaggerates a lot.

Heidi Lamb Castle

Great walking path.

Zeev Rafaeli

Great trails and not to crowded

Ayman Ozil

Great soccer field

CINDY POERSCH

It's well groomed and beautiful trails behind along the river ????

Andrew T

Great ride through the park. I bought a bicycle last spring (an MTB) so I tried out the dirt paths, and found a few geocaches while I was passing them anyway. It adds some distance to my commute, so I might take my alternate if time is short, but this is a nice scenic ride to and from work.

James Dykstra

Though Fort Gibraltar in the park is closed due to covid, there are nice trails among the trees by the river. Just watch for cyclists. Some come by fast and they don't ring bells to warn you.

FASTEDDY Skil

Nice place for a wintertime walk. Pathways could use a bit of grooming. Would like to see a few warm-up shacks around the area especially when you have to walk against that North wind that blows off the Red River. Can be very raw on the cheeks. The walk along the tracks is nice and there is lots of sites to see. I eould advise against wearing ear buds with the Tunes going off in your ears....this is an active track and yrans can 'sneak up' on you very fast.

bobzonn007

Was a nice park at one point in time, it has now become a park full of homeless camps and gatherings place for questionable activities

Rockie Sawchuk

Went to the Festival du Voyageur had a fantastic time

Mike S

Great ride along river all the way to Marion Hotel

Gary Alderson

Whittier Park - a hidden gem in the middle of the city. Beautiful hiking/biking trails, the other Forks in Winnipeg of the Seine and Red Rivers, and Fort Gibraltar the recreation of the famous North West Company for complete with Voyagers and ladies of the period. Apparently they have Time Travelers weddings in a beautiful hall on site.

Neil & Marleen Jonker

Nice forest feeling in the city. Great trails. Peaceful.

Philip Fenez

Great environment, many options for activities

There is a fort along the river for festival. A good lenght bike path along the river. A walking trail in the park and a crawler trail for RC Cars along the train tracks

Cristhel pipper

Festival du voyageur is always lovely to go to, would like to see similar events here in the summer. Really brings a sense of community and reminds us of our french roots.

Pay $25 for the opportunity to wait two hours in line in the cold ... no thanks

Good place for biking and hiking, fishing too. Lots of trees.

This place is so fun to explore and good to get outside and connect with nature

Ryan Gale

Fort Gibraltar and Whittier Park are a terrific walking spot in any season

Sriracha Sauce

A good place to run the pup. I've seen deer, groundhogs, a muskrat, a fox, coyotes, turtles, and a few different birds of prey around here. Fireflies also appear on early summer evenings. Please make sure to clean up after yourselves.

Steven Carlson

One a favourite places to go in the city that’s close by for biking the trails in summer as well as winter.

Dragos Nina

The park is great in the summer time and winter. Nice path to walk on through the forest. Ample free parking spaces.

Jude Gosselin

(Translated) Hé Ho (Original) Hé Ho

Matt Winchar

One of my favourite parks near downtown. Watch a sunset from the viewing tower, check out Fort Gibraltar, watch the Remax balloon launch, trek through the trails on the riverfront, go under the train bridge into the forest, watch a baseball game, there’s tons to do here and it’s never busy.

Ahmed bahaa

Beautiful green space

Millie Grey

fire

Thierry Marchildon-Lavoie

Nice escape from the concrete jungle, there's a community garden, don't know how to get on the waiting list for a plot though. While you're there might as well visit For Gibraltar, a recreation of a North West Company trading fort that used to stand at the forks of the Red and Assiniboine rivers. There's an interpretive program during the summer and during Festival do Voyageur in February you can look into.

kevin knight

Fun time to be had at the festival du voyageur

K S

Nice quiet park not crowded like most. No parking which is great for the neighborhood.

Christopher Daniels

Went for a RC adventure on the bike trails near the river. Really great time out there! Met a few friendly folks, great way to get outside and enjoy yourself. Lots of people out jogging and walking on the path too, hope you enjoy your time out there too!

Iggy Nation

I play baseball at Whittier Park, probably one of the nicest facilities in the city

Benjamin Nye

Nice layout. Very close to Fort Gibraltar in the St. Boniface area.

Véronique Demers

Beautiful place to go for a walk or a run or a picnic!

Robert Laurencelle

Pizza was soggy and the fries were cold!

Interesting historical site, actors performing roles of people from that Era in history.

Yolanda M

Beautiful place to spend time in

Manavi Rally

Beautiful view. Escape from the hustle of daily routines

Chris Wilkinson

$35 for one day at Festival is a little ridiculous.

Teri Patey

Very beautiful scenery, absolutely breathtaking.

Tommy Gabriel

Got a pretty dope baseball diamond sucks I can't play anymore for now arm just came out of my body for no reason

Davey's Dash

If you are looking for a forested walk by the river, or beautiful ball diamonds, it's a great place. Located directly beside Fort Gibraltar, in St. Boniface. The problem I find is that the homeless really like it as well.

Yu liu

Nice place to get away from your city life.

Jubnx

I love the sick jump lines they build. Especially the one with the 4 big jumps on the south side of the train tracks, those are sick. It’d be sick for the trail builders to take some of the field next the baseball diamond and make a pavement (or dirt) pump track with jumps and a bunch of rollers.

Kingsley Beardy

Bike trails got me trippin', the best so far on this side of 'peg city.

Don Cho

Good for with kids

Michael Etkin

Beautiful green space right on the water. Interesting wooden structures including Fort Gibraltar next door. Very interesting residential houses to look at. No play structure or other entertainment for kids.

Grambo !

Great little park Good section for dogs Great little trail along a river

Ross Prentice

One of my favorite places in Winnipeg, beautiful walk that leads you into Lagimodière-Gaboury Park

Excellent excellent excellent

Lenin Vela

Beautiful place... The festival du voyager is super fun

Stephen Ishmael

I came here to try the hiking but the walkways were flooded. The riverbank are eroding severely. It looks like The City is just letting the bank give way and nothing is being done to stop it. It will be gone in a few years.

Leonard Anderson

Nice bike and walking trails

Chris Bawden

Lovely heritage park

terry hollands

A park in the middle of the city, with an out of town feel. The path along the Red River goes to the Seine River, following that river until you exit the park, perhaps 2 km covered.

Britanne Jolicoeur

Paid $18 to get in at 7pm just to wait in line till after 11pm to see The Revival play at Festival du Voyageur. Finally gave up since the band started playing at 10:30 pm and we had already missed most of their set.

Joe Benarroch

Great historical site. Family friendly

Julia Florek

Great place to bring the family!

Andrew Peters

Well I wasn't at the park but if you park on the street in front, near the south steeetend you can get free wifi.

I love walking to this park with my dog. People are friendly in the area so I've never had trouble. I also bike the trails by the river in summer n fall when its a bit more dry. Its a nice relaxing park.

Maurice Senecal

Great place for a Saturday morning walk

On of the best heritage sites in Winnipeg, in my opinion.

Lydia F. (Beadbuff)

Beautiful venue for a wedding!! They have to move all the tablz to make room for the dance floor though.

John West

Open place to walk.

David P

I’ve been to Whittier Park mostly to attend Festival du Voyageur. The festival occurs yearly in winter and it’s a lot of fun with various snow sculptures, performers, French Canadian food (e.g., spit pea soup, sugar pie, tourtière, etc.), and live music to listen and dance to. During the day, the Festival has more family friendly activities often with an appreciation of earlier pioneer living and other activities. Definitely worth checking out. It’s often very cold out … they do have heated small venues and fire pits, but dress warmly nonetheless!

Richard “Richard” Porth

Good walking and bike trails

Josh Normand

Festival du Voyager always a good time. Buy tickets ahead of time tho.

caleb c.bourassa76

Festival was packed and expensive, more about getting drunk then our culture

Nick Pizza

Beautiful!

Lori Pickerl

Nice bike trails, pretty park. Saw a deer and several woodpeckers.

Sukhi

Had a lot of fun there.

Sally Nystrom

We had a picnic lunch and walked in the park past the fort and over to the ice tower. The ice is melting quickly from the tower. All that's left of the ice sculptures is their skeletons.

rrroszko Rrroszko

Soo much to offer for anyone waking their dog.

It's a hidden gem with trails along the river, but be careful. Lot of people take dogs off-leash! I wouldn't bring my dog there ever knowing there's too many off-leash dogs.

wes mann

A nice quiet green space kind of isolated from the city (yet central) and away from most traffic!

Souradeep Saha

Absolutely loved the place! Whittier park is perfect for any types of festivals, no matter how grand it is. The environment is quite nice, and overall had an amazing experience there!

Crystal Blatz

The festival was awesome so much fun. I recomend it to anyone but you must go early

Nice park - well maintained. Good for a quiet morning walk.

Festival is the best, especially if youre underage ! I never got ID'd once nore did I get patted down, if you wanna have a blast sneak in a little Mickey crush that then skip the lines because you've arrived earlier and party your ass off !

Bob Martens

Beautiful park!!

Jason McNish

Nice trees

Mindy Reimer

Had a field trip here! Great park! Fun for everyone!

Asia Grant

It was a nice space to walk my dog and enjoy the historical settings! Its a nice area by the river. Lots of trees. No garbage cans or dog bags in the dog park area tho. Noticed people werent picking up after their dogs. Maybe thats why.

shawn atamanchuk

Great place to trail ride

Devon

Festival was good. Had some interesting street shows. Food and alcohol was expensive and the tents were crowded because it was so cold. Sculptures were good and really the only reason I went

melanie colby

Parking lot is fantastic there!

Bridget Fox

Festival Du Voyageur - always a great time!

Dinis Prazeres

A great historical place in Saint Boniface. Also home to the annual Festival du Voyageur which is always well worth visiting - great sculptures, activities, food and of course music!

Jarrad Perron

Nice place for Voyageut festival. Smaller than I thought it'd be.

Dan wiebe

Trails are wide and well-groomed great place to take your dog for a walk open field if you want to throw a frisbee or set up some badminton access to the river for the fisherman all around good experience

James Bernard

Absolutely disgusted. They over sold their tickets, they had to, since you had to buy day passes this year. Waited 2 hours in line and finally gave up. People were sneaking into the tents left right and Centre. I want my money back. Worst Festival I've ever been to. I'm going to skip next year.

Rick Jastrzebski

Lots of Memories. One of my favorites places to go

Tannis Hewitt

My son plays baseball here. Phenomenal views and the lights make it really special.

Al Little

It is nice to have a new perspective upon downtown Winnipeg. People will enjoy the virws Whittier Park has to offer. It would be nice to have more parking available.
