Tucked away gem near downtown Nelson. This lovely park is worth the detour. The sound of rushing water and the variety of plant and flowers make for a beautiful setting. Perfect spot for a picnic or just to take in the lush scenery. The park has interesting history, be sure to read the interpretive signs!

Nelson's Hidden Gem

This park is like a secret oasis in the heart of the city. The waterfall is so stunning, it's like a scene straight out of a fairytale. And the surrounding forest is a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It's the perfect place to relax, unwind, and connect with nature. Just be warned: you might never want to leave.

Nelson has so many attractions to offer. Living in this beautiful place feels so blessed.

If you are visiting, you must go to this park to have a picnic or just relax during lunch break.

As an Asian, this park reminded my hometown. It is a small secret place to think and read the middle of the industrial area.

It is the perfect place to date at night. It is very romantic and quiet. So clean and cozy. Most recommended.

kind of an awkward place to get to in behind a commercial area ….. but wow…okay - wasn’t expecting that - i thought the falls might be a few drops and a set of rapids- no way - it’s a beautiful rocky set of falls with decent height and it comes out from underneath a stone arched bridge - very cool - full spring run off so it was raging - would like to see it in mid summer flow - probably very pretty …. rest of the park area was well kept and clean with nice flowers and structures

A small but beautiful nature retreat nestled amidst the surrounding urban industrial area. The landscaping and abundance of spring blossoms give this park a Japanese garden feel, and the force of the water pouring over the falls displays nature in all her glory.

Absolutely beautiful! Peaceful, calming and a great place to regather and be with nature. The park was very clean and lots of different plants.

The park has public restrooms in the back parking lot area which is great.

WOW! we've been to Nelson many time but had stumbled on this park during our last visit. Take the time to smell the flowers, seek out this park you wont be disappointed. We hit the perfect time the ornamental cherry trees were in bloom and the spring run off had the water fall forcefully presenting its grandeur. A must see.
