T	Tammy Mitchell on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So beautiful to walk around. Great for strollers, easy walk for kids. 4 lookout platforms to see wildlife from. The sound of all the birds was so relaxing. Two huge turtle nests.
T	Trevor Blasko on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place for a walk , saw quite a few walkers. Was windy and cool but very nice
n	nomi malone on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ WARNING! NOT PET FRIENDLY! Drove across town to find this out. There are Karens community policing the area. I got verbally attacked by an angry troll. Ended up walking on a busy street. With the Karens & their lack of common sense, it was an unpleasant experience. Providing better signage explaining why a paved urban walk doesnt allow leashed pets would be helpful. If reasoning is to protect wildlife & nature, not letting leashed pets in one area will not stop the destruction mankind has sown on mother nature. The Karens are too short sighted to realize this and think they are saving the world by stopping ppl who are enjoying their lives while harming no person or wildlife.
G	Geoff Schmidt on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really nice, easy walk. Flat, except for a handful of lookout towers and points. About 3 km in length, relaxing and accessible to the whole family.
j	jessica Wilson on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Easy access from lots of areas . Nearby parking . Trails are pretty flat terrain. Lots of wild life. Nice walk . Usually busy place during the day
L	Lynette Meek on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful, natural surroundings, singing birds, brisk breeze and a level walk. I have walked around Buttertubs many times, in many seasons over the years. I always see different things. I noticed that they have really been working at removing the invasive plant species lately and doing a great job.
T	Tere Arboleda on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful park. Easy loop that have tons of entry and exit points. I started my walk at the ice skating rink, followed the trail and it led me to Buttertubs. Good place to do bird watching. Lots of birds especially when it's sunny. It is a good idea to bring camera with good lenses or binoculars. Ideal for stroller too. I haven't done duck feeding, but I'm thinking of trying or I'll check out first if it is possible. I saw deer and heron along the trails. I love how quiet the place is.
L	Lisa Fehr on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful park for observing wildlife, particularly for birdwatching. We have also seen deer, raccoons, squirrels, and beaver. The trail around the marsh is flat so really good for those with mobility issues. It is very family friendly, but do stay on the trail. Bring your camera or binoculars, or relax with a book on one of the many benches. It's a real gem in the middle of the city.
