Confirmed from Province Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Relaxed space featuring scenic trails for strolling and a skateboard park.
What runners say about Province Park
“It is a beautiful, well maintained park.”
“Plenty of scenic views including waterways, bridges, trails, a variety of mature trees and other vegetation with many different animals to see.”
Definitely a beautiful park! Plenty of parking available. This would be a good place to cook out or just have a picnic. There are picnic tables spread throughout the park for eating or relaxing. The sound of running water is what I most enjoy about this park. During my time here the park was busier than I expected.

Love this little park. Lots of shade. Lots of tables for picnics. Several shelter houses. Several playgrounds. Plus the walking trail goes right through the park.

It has bathrooms at each shelter house. It has a recreation center that has lots of summer events for the kids . Walk, run, exercise & shower.
