Events are free of charge and depending on the location, will feature music, entertainment, water-based activities and more. 

“We’re so excited to share that Passport to Parks is returning this summer for the first time since 2018,” says Greg Cutler, organizer of the Passport to Parks program for the City. “This summer event series has always been a special way to bring the community together and build a sense of belonging. It highlights all of the beautiful green spaces we have here in the city and encourages residents and visitors to explore our many parks, beaches, trails, splash pads and other recreational options.”

The Passport to Parks event series supports Council’s priority of belong, including the City’s strategic plan for recreation, PlaySJ, that aims to advance and enrich the health, well-being, and quality of life for Saint John residents of all ages through inclusive programs, recreation opportunities, and leisure activities.
