This park is a beautiful getaway from the city life. This was my second time visiting this park. I visited this park last time around 7-8 years ago. There is plenty of parking space available and has a small cafe for snacking. Nice trails and kayaking rentals option is available. My kids loved walking around and enjoyed being so close with birds and squirrels.

Shubie Park is a great park for walking and biking. There are lots of different trails depending on what you want to do. The trails also connect to longer trails that run along the HWY/lake that are great for biking or if you like to avoid the rest of the park when it's super busy. It is very dog-friendly with designated off-leash and on-leash areas. The main visitor centre has different amenities in the summer months such as renting kayaks, some food & drinks.

This park is absolutely stunning! The trail winding between the water on both sides creates such a picturesque and serene environment. The waterfall along the trail adds an extra touch of magic. And of course, the beach is just perfect for relaxing and soaking up the sun… always go here in evening which makes my evening perfect

Very nice park! Especially good for kayaking and canoeing, and there is a rental area in front of the park.
