Bowring Park, St John's.
In
1914 the Bowring family donated fifty acres of park to the
citizens of Saint John's. Originally designed in the Romantic
style, the park has since been much enlarged and included
wilderness trails and wooded ravines. A lovely park, it attracts
admiring visitors even in winter. It is open daily, year round,
and admission is free, but please check their website for
details.
