Best Park in Canada

M	Matthew Skalik on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very nice trail to the beach. We found an apple tree and saw the resident owl on the way!
D	David Cliffe on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Little spots to park in different areas off the road. Many trail's to explore and the beach is right there. Creek running through the park with tree's and bird's singing. Nice spot to chill and admire nature.
D	Daniel O'Brien on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very nice wooded walk along gravel paths with a quick little creek, then onto grassy beach that's a nice break from the usual sand and stones. Perfect spots for the kids to build little dams on a warm day.
J	Jim Hall on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Easy walk in a beautiful ravine in the middle of Comox. The creek though is very low at Comox hasn't had much rain this summer.
L	Larry Lorimer on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Brooklyn Creek goes through this park. A beautiful walk.
B	Brian Green on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little creekside park that leads to the beach which intersects with other trails. A short hop from the Filberg site which is a great study in contrasts. Signage as to linkage with other parks would be useful for new visitors..after all isn't that what signs are for..one example unclear if you can walk the beach back to the Filberg.
E	Elaine Brown on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Without a doubt, the walk along Brooklyn Creek through Mac Laing Nature Park, is my favourite nature walk in Comox. Through the seasons the walk takes on different tones, colours and moods as the flowers and shrubs blossom. When there is a lot of rain the water cascades heavily over the fish ladder and on a hot summer day the creek is just a trickle making it a delightful place to let small children splash and explore. Along the way there is signage to explain about the history and educate about the fish and flora. From Balmoral Avenue there are about 20 wooden stairs with handrails to be descended down to creek level. The path is easy to stroll along but there are the occasional small slopes and wooden stairs as well as wooden bridges to cross. Periodically there are wooden benches for resting or to just sit and enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. About halfway to the ocean front there is a side exit up a dirt slope to Mack Laing Court. There's an abundance of wildlife that pass through and live in the park including salmon, eagles, herons, deer, black bears, racoons, several varieties of owls, etc. At the ocean you can walk to the left on the beach a short distance and enter McDonald Woods Forest for another peaceful forest walk back up to Balmoral Avenue. Round trip is approximately 2 kilometers.
G	Geko Treker on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A stunningly beautiful surprise in a peaceful neighbourhood where trail and stream management well maintained. Stairs involved and uneven ground. Although a serene environment, I'm not recommended this hiking trail for mobility challenged individuals.
