Located on Saint John’s west side, Dominion Park is a popular year-round recreation destination. In summer, the stretch of beach provides ideal access to the beautiful Saint John River for swimmers and boaters. The park features a playground, basketball nets, picnic and barbecue areas, and washroom and changing room facilities. Park users can also enjoy hiking trails, rock climbing, kayaking and a treetop aerial adventure park. An updated Master Plan for this Park is underway. It is also a popular spot for ice fishing during the winter months.
