Take in a round of golf or a walk along the river edge in Hermitage Park. This segment of the river valley contains parks and golf courses, walking trails and a proposed new marina to give people direct access to an afternoon cruise up and down the river. A new Coal Mine Interpretative Centre is proposed for Rundle Park and a river marina could be built in Hermitage Park. A new River Science Centre and Aquarium proposed for Clover Bar Park would provide an opportunity for people to learn first hand what makes rivers like ours unique and special.
River Valley Factoid
Whether walking, hiking, canoeing, biking or skiing in the Capital Region River Valley Park one is treated to a wonderful festival of birdlife. The boreal owl, northern hawk owl, gyrfalcon and great grey owl are winter visitors to this area. These four birds of prey are listed in the ‘10 most wanted to see list of birds’, noted by the American Birding Association.
