With an Interpretive Trail system, splashpad, a playground, picnic area, boat launch and an observation deck, the
municipal park is located in the centre of Blackville on the site of the first lumber mill, where logs were run down the river

market, and community events throughout the year, such as NB Day and Canada Day celebrations.
