Bowen Park - Nanaimo, British Columbia

Ce parc est magnifique, pour une personne qui désire y prendre une marche avec son chien. Ou simplement pour y pratiquer son sport. Il y a deux endroits avec abri pour y faire votre BBQ. La piscine publique est fermé pour cause du Covid_19. Vous avez accès a des toilettes publiques, terrains de tennis, terrains de volley ball. De Octobre a Mai la chute est superbe a voir.

Great place for a walk, so many trails you can explore. The waterfalls are especially awesome in the winter.

We really enjoyed strolling through this park shortly after landing in Nanaimo in the last week of July.
We parked near the Frisbee golf and walked a short way down the path adjacent to the creek while looking for the waterfall. The path was closed off due to construction on a foot bridge crossing the creek. We back tracked a bit and crossed the stream in a really shallow dry area thinking maybe the path was on the other side just up the bank in the trees a bit. Someone had attached a rope along a steep part of the bank that helped getting up and down the little footpath. Once we reached a higher look out point we realized we had walked right by a small encampment of about 3 or 4 tents well camouflaged. We decided to cross back to the main side and go up and walk along the road till we found some nice ponds and a waterfall.

It was all very lovely nature and we actually did the whole walk twice after I realized I lost my sunglasses somewhere along the way. Thank you very much to the person who found them and hung them on a chain link fence in a visible spot.
On that return trip we also noticed some movement in a smaller pond and stopped to watch a group of otters eat and swim around for probably 20 minutes.
I will definitely return to this park again when we are in Nanaimo.

We stopped to have a bite to eat and stretch out the legs and ended up spending time walking around this beautiful gem nestled within the cityscape. Some nice trails to walk and great scenery all around. Kids had fun with the dog checking out the pathways and the waterfalls. Would definitely like to come back and spend more time finding beautiful views of this place.

Очень большой и красивый парк. Обязательно пройдите к фонтанам, водопаду. Это ближайшие интересные точки. Но конечно можно идти дальше и заняться hiking. Рядом есть много парковочных мест.
Но от центра до парка пешком 30 минут всего лишь.
