How did I not know about this hidden gem? A family friend told me to visit, and we did! Parking was plentiful, and free! I would highly suggest to the City, that signs be posted on how to actually get to the waterfront! After parking, the washrooms are to your right, and there seems to be a small walking trail to the left. So, which way to go? We ended up going left, which led us nowhere after a few minutes, but no problem we just backtracked. To the RIGHT, keep walking, and you will see a small underpass, take that and keep walking …. to the waterfront, and a bike trail. We took a ton of photos, and I always feel like I’m on vacation when I’m next to the water! Suggestions: 1. Take and wear sunscreen, and a hat 2. Bring a water bottle, there are no stores in the immediate area 3. Bring insect repellent, there are a lot of flies and mosquitoes 4. Wear comfortable shoes 5. I didn’t see any picnic tables, except near the entrance, so if you want to eat, you can do so before or after

Beautiful view after a walk and a very quiet place to hang around with people. After a walk through the road, the scenic waterfront is visible. The park has a well maintained cycle trail. A preferred place to enjoy evenings. Vehicle can be parked in the space without any fees.

Amazing views, nice paved walkway. Great place for families, friends and pet owners. There is a park and playground. Swings and a small fort with slide. A jungle gym set and a splash area in the Summer. For older kids & adults there is an outdoor fitness area, it was fun to flip and struggle with! Great exercise! 😄 You can get down to the waterline. The beaches have big pebbles, not too tough for walking. Parking is free. Washrooms were closed. (We went on a Sunday in Nov)

Port Union Waterfront Park was a joy to visit. I came for a visit in early spring and I think it's best to visit during Summer. There is better weather and more things to do. There are small beaches, trails, rocks, and the Waterfront Trail Bridge. The trail leads all the way to Rogue Beach and the Boardwalk Trail. Where you can experience the beauty of the Rogue river.

Port Union water front is a beautiful place to chill out during summer. It’s a great picnic spot as well. The trial along the beach is for walking and biking. The view of the lake is breathtaking, the roaring waters feels like the nature is talking to you. The park close by is a perfect place for kids to play and the water fountain in the park is great during sunny days. Perfect family and friends place to hang around. Kids love watching the go train from the park. The parking is adequate, you could also use the go parking space .
