WELCOME TO
Fredericton On behalf of my Council colleagues and the citizens of Fredericton, I take pride in welcoming you to New Brunswick’s Capital City. Whether you are visiting friends or family, attending a convention, or touring our scenic countryside, I am sure you will appreciate our many historical attractions, fine craft and cultural exhibits, and special Maritime hospitality.
tourism staff will be most pleased to provide you with additional information to help you get the most from your visit. Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable stay in Fredericton and a safe return home. Mike O’Brien / Mayor of Fredericton
I encourage you to drop by the Visitor Information Centre at City Hall where our
Our Historic Past The majestic Wolastoq (Saint John River) makes a natural turn at Fredericton, carving out the fertile shores and plains that have attracted hunters, farmers, entrepreneurs and innovators for hundreds of years. Long before the founding of Fredericton by the Loyalists in the 1780s, the region was home to the Maliseet and Mi’kmaq who made the region a seasonal stop for hunting, fishing, and farming. French fur traders arrived in 1692, establishing a settlement on the Nashwaak and Saint John rivers. French Acadiens, fleeing from the British expulsion, formed another settlement in 1732. The British swept up the Saint John River Valley in the tumult of 1758, settling a few kilometers downriver from today’s city limits. Post American Revolution, more than 2000 British Loyalists arrived at St. Anne’s Point and began drawing up formal plans for a town. The area was renamed “Frederick’s Town” in 1785 in honour of the second son of King George III and declared the capital of the province. 14
On April 25, 1845, Queen Victoria made Fredericton a Cathedral City despite the population falling short of the 10,000 required for city status. The consequence was the stunning Gothic Revival Christ Church Cathedral whose spire still dominates the skyline today. Early Fredericton businesses included mills, a canoe factory, tanneries, carriage and wagon manufacturers, breweries and broom factories. In the 20th century, the city’s industries gave way to universities, reinforcing Fredericton’s education and cultural centric feel. In 1945, Gibson (presently Devon) was amalgamated into the City. In 1973, Fredericton amalgamated a number of surrounding communities, doubling its area and population. The people and the events that changed Fredericton from a settlement into the educational and administrative centre of New Brunswick have also shaped a unique cultural landscape. Along our tree-lined streets dwell gifted artists and artisans as well as brilliant scientists and engineers. They keep Fredericton the vibrant community it is. 2021-2022 VISITOR GUIDE

1 City Hall & Phoenix Square (397 Queen St.)
National Historic Site Located at the corner of Queen and York Sts., Fredericton’s City Hall is the oldest City Hall still in use in the Maritime Provinces. Visitors to the building can tour the Council Chamber to view the restored clockworks. Dine Al Fresco! In support of local restaurants, bistro tables and chairs are set up in front of City Hall from mid-May to October. The extra outdoor seating allows restaurants to serve more patrons since they have reduced seating capacity to allow for physical distancing. People can order directly to their table from delivering restaurants or enjoy their own take-out meals while they listen to local music. What’s better than enjoying a good meal in the fresh air on a summer’s day?! About the Building The old City Hall, which was erected in Phoenix Square in 1876, once included the City office, council chamber, magistrate’s office, jail, farmers’ market and opera house. The tower clock, its eight-foot dials, copper hands and reliable chimes have been keeping downtown businesses and customers on time ever since. With the growing city, City Hall became crowded and plans were made for an addition. Architects carefully designed the addition to make it as compatible as possible with the original City Hall. Construction began in September 1975 and it was completed in 1977. The fountain in front of City Hall was constructed in 1885. Freddy, “The Little Nude Dude” as he is affectionately called, sits on top of the fountain. Look for the original Freddy, older than the Statue of Liberty, in City Hall. A Visitor Information Centre, in the front lobby, is open mid-May through to Canadian Thanksgiving. 506-460-2129; TourismFredericton.ca More information online at HistoricGarrisonDistrict.ca
Garrison Skatepark (1 York Street, behind City Hall) This highly anticipated All-Wheel Sports Park opened late 2020. The 15,300 square foot park features a large selection of world-class plaza terrain and a one-of-a-kind modern bowl complex with 3 bowls. It is one of 4 parks in Canada with the snake run (organic) features in addition to a lot of transition. Skateboarders, bikers, and scooter enthusiasts of all age groups and abilities will enjoy the terrain and can work on skills and try many new tricks.
Attractions #2 through #10 form the Historic Garrison District.
Historic Garrison District National Historic Site
Set back behind a wrought iron and stone fence, the Historic Garrison District originally consisted of the two-block area bounded by Queen, York, Campbell, and Regent Sts. The first buildings on this site were made of wood and later replaced by stone structures, with the exception of the Militia Arms Store (11 Carleton St.). The Historic Garrison District was declared a National Historic Site in 1964, and in 1965 was designated a protected Provincial Historic Site. Visitors will find a variety of attractions and activities in the Historic Garrison District including tours, concerts, and live theatre. 35

2 The Justice Building (427 Queen St.) There are no tours of the Justice Building itself. The annex to the building contains the ‘School Days’ Museum. About the Building In 1827, a 34 x 37 foot Military Hospital with four six-bed wards was constructed in stone on the site now partly occupied by the Justice Building. In 1875, the hospital and accessory building were removed to permit construction of the Provincial Normal School. That building was destroyed by fire in 1929, but was rebuilt on the same site. The original annex and front entrance pillars survived the fire and can still be seen today. The annex later housed the Model School which was an integral part of teacher training. The building served as part of Fredericton High School from 1965 to 1970. It was remodeled to house law courts and reopened as the Justice Building in 1975. ‘School Days’ Museum Located in the annex of the former Teachers College, now known as the Justice Building. This museum contains a collection of artifacts, archival material, books and furniture used in the public schools, teacher training, and Department of Education in New Brunswick, dating as far back as the mid-19th century. Open mid-June to late-August, September to June, by appointment. Free admission. 506-459-3738; museum.nbta.ca

4 Soldiers’ Barracks (463 Queen St.) Please note: this area is under construction during the 2021 season.
A little further down, the old Soldiers’ Barracks sits almost on the corner of Carleton St., with its back to Queen St. The Soldiers’ Barracks is an 1827, three and a half storey stone structure built by the British Army to accommodate more than 200 British soldiers. Life was crowded – 19 soldiers to a room. They slept on iron beds, while wooden pegs and shelves held their belongings. A table and wooden benches were the only other furniture. The 22nd Cheshire Regiment was stationed here from 1866 to 1869 and all ranks said they looked back on Fredericton as an ideal station. A bronze plaque honours the 104th Regiment. Remarkably, as reinforcements for the War of 1812, six of its companies made a 1,128 km, 52-day march to Quebec and then to Kingston, Ontario, between February and April of 1813. Don’t set your watch by the sundial outside the east wall of the Soldiers’ Barracks. Although it is a faithful reconstruction of the original sundial which told the time to the citizens of Fredericton in the 19th and early 20th centuries and accurately displays local apparent solar time (LAST), this differs by up to 16 minutes from local mean solar time (LMST). 37
5 The Guard House
(15 Carleton St.) To find the 1828 Guard House, turn left on Carleton St. In 2017, the street was re-designed as a shared street. The first in the city, this newly constructed public space hosts many events, including the Garrison Night Market. The restored Orderly Room in the Guard House, with its nominal rolls and leave passes, looks much as it did in 1829 when it was first occupied by the 1st Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. A disastrous fire destroyed the original Guard House, cells and 9 other buildings. The Guard Room was home to the 12-man Main Guard. A soldier in an infantry regiment of 1828 to 1869 could expect to be detailed for either Night Guard or Day Guard at least twice a month. When not pacing his beat, he was permitted to rest by reclining in his full kit on a Guard bed of hard planks, covered with a thin straw pallaise (mattress). The Guard Room looks as it did in 1866, when the 15th Regiment used the muskets, uniforms and equipment on display. The cell block originally contained 7 cells – windowless stone and brick cubicles with an air-hole of about 10 inches diameter in the outer wall. In 1847, the cell block was modified to contain 5 enlarged cells, barred windows and an escape-proof ventilation system. The cell block reveals conditions as they were in 1848. Please note: tours are unavailable for the 2021 season.
506-460-2129; TourismFredericton.ca
6 Former Militia Arms Store
(11 Carleton St.) Next to the Guard House, on Carleton St., is what used to be the Militia Arms Store and is now the home-base for the Garrison Night 38
Market. This is the only remaining wooden structure of the original 4 to be found in the Historic Garrison District. It was built in 1832 to house military weapons and ammunition for the Royal New Brunswick Regiment. In 1882, a rear addition renovated the building for use as a Military Hospital. It has also been used as a liquor warehouse, temperance hall, and caretaker’s residence for the adjacent armouries. Tours are unavailable. As you cross the street to the library, you will notice the riverfront pedway. This pedway was officially named the “The 104th Regiment of Foot Bridge” in 2013. The walkway, also accessible by bicycle or wheelchair, links downtown Fredericton and the Historic Garrison District with the riverfront and trails, commonly known as The Green. In 2019, local artist and college instructor, Emma Hassencahl-Perley, was selected to create a mural for pedway. Her design draws upon traditional Wabanaki (People of the Dawn) motifs found in beadwork. Near the pedway you will also find two public art pieces:
Watermark Gerald Beaulieu, PEI This creative high water marker displays significant historic flood levels and serves as a real-time flood level indicator during the annual flood season. When the lowest post is submerged (6.5m), the river has officially reached flood level.
Rendez-vous Catherine Leva, France This sculpture made of New Brunswick basalt and granite was gifted by the New Brunswick Medical Society in celebration of its 150th anniversary. It was created during the 2016 New Brunswick International Sculpture 2021-2022 VISITOR GUIDE
Symposium and is located on the waterfront next to the south side trail close to the Westmorland Street bridge.

About the Building The building is an example of the 19th century influence of Second Empire style, and historically, located within the original British Military Compound. Opened in 1881 as a Post Office and Customs House, it’s been the home of the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame since 1976. More information online at HistoricGarrisonDistrict.ca
9 Fredericton Region Museum
(571 Queen St.) Continue along Queen St. to the Fredericton Region Museum. Inside the one-time Officers’ Quarters the history of Fredericton and surrounding area is interpreted in an engaging manner in several exhibition spaces on two floors of the building. Exhibitions on the Aboriginal, Acadian and Loyalist inhabitants of the area are featured. The museum is also home to the world famous 42-pound legend, The Coleman Frog. About the Building The Officers’ Quarters building, with its stone arches, iron handrails and staircase (typical of the Colonial Period) faces the old Parade Square. It originally served as the quarters for the British Officers stationed in Fredericton. The original structure (circa 1786) was made of wood but it was gradually rebuilt with stone. The current structure was completed in 1853. In 1883, Fredericton was honoured to be chosen for the establishment of the first permanent and oldest Canadian military unit, the Royal Canadian Regiment. Open daily throughout July & August. Hours vary the remainder of the year. Office staff available year-round. 506-455-6041; frederictonregionmuseum.com
10 Officers’ Square (575 Queen St.) Directly in front of the Fredericton Region Museum sits Officers’ Square, one of the city’s most unique and historic areas. It was a centre of military activity when Fredericton was garrisoned by the British Army from 1785 to 1869, and by the Canadian Army from 1883 to 1914. Please note: this area is currently under construction.

The Lighthouse
(617 Regent St., Regent Street Wharf) The Lighthouse, situated on The Green in downtown Fredericton, has been a landmark since 1989. At one time, there were over 30 lighthouses along the Saint John River. Now due to the buoy system of channel marking, very few are needed, and those that are still required have been automated.
13 The Fredericton Convention Centre
12 “The Green” “The Green”, is what locals call the 5 km riverfront pathway system stretching along the Saint John River in the heart of downtown. It is linked with over 120 km of trails throughout the city. Riverfront Walkway As beautiful and tranquil as a park, the riverfront walkway stretches along The Green. Beginning at the Delta Hotel, it stretches to the Princess Margaret Bridge, and boasts a spectacular view. The pathway is divided into four sections. The first stretches from the Delta Hotel to Smythe St., through the area originally settled as St. Anne’s Point. The section from Smythe St. to the Lighthouse, was named Limpert Lane in October 1997, in honour of Fredericton Olympic Silver Medalist, Marianne Limpert. The next section, from the Lighthouse to Morell Park at the lower end of Waterloo Row, is the original “Green”. The final segment, stretching from Morell Park, past the Loyalist Cemetery to the Princess Margaret Bridge, is known as the Salamanca Trail. 40

15 Legislative Assembly Building
(706 Queen St.) Serving as the seat of government in New Brunswick since 1882, the present-day building replaced the old Province Hall, which was destroyed by fire in 1880. The main entrance opens into a vestibule and hallway hung with portraits of former Lieutenant Governors. Beyond is a large self-supporting spiral staircase. The Chamber reflects the taste of the late Victorians. One volume in the set of John James Audubon “Birds of America” is on permanent display in the Council Chamber on the second floor. Next to the Legislature is a modest stone building, the ground floor of which was built in 1816 as an office for the Provincial Secretary. The upper floors were added in 1869. It is the oldest surviving public building in Fredericton and houses offices relating to the Legislative Assembly. When the Legislature is not in session, you may visit the Assembly Chamber and take More information online at TourismFredericton.ca

In 1910, he went to England and allied himself with Andrew Bonar Law, the only Canadian to ever become Prime Minister of Great Britain. In 1916, Maxwell Aitken received the title of Lord Beaverbrook, 41
complete with a coat of arms designed by Rudyard Kipling. Beaverbrook was Minister of Aircraft Production during World War II, held various political appointments, and built a publishing empire based on the Daily Express newspaper. He is best remembered in New Brunswick for his many gifts to the province and to the University of New Brunswick (UNB). In 1954, the provincial Legislature declared him “a native son of New Brunswick”. His legacy to Fredericton includes the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, The Fredericton Playhouse, the Lady Beaverbrook Rink, the Lady Beaverbrook Residence, and the Lady Beaverbrook Gymnasium.

(796 Queen St.) Gallery 78, in the Crocket House, is situated in Fredericton’s historic downtown, overlooking The Green and the Saint John River, steps away from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and Christ Church Cathedral. Established in 1976, Gallery 78 is the oldest private art gallery in New Brunswick, representing both established and emerging artists, focusing on Atlantic Canada, with emphasis on the art of New Brunswick. Artist David McKay maintains his studio within the gallery. Bring your family! Dogs are welcome. About the Building Built in 1900, the three-storey wood frame house is predominately Queen Anne Revival. The 19th century saw Fredericton house designs incorporating a blend of popular structural modes in a “picturesque eclectic” style. The Crocket house embodies these with its circular tower, bay windows and ornate interior appointments. It has been called Crocket House since the 1920’s when Dr. Ashburnham Pierce Crocket and his wife, Alma Mary Gibson, resided there. Open Tuesday – Sunday; hours of operation vary. Services are available in English, French and German. 506-454-5192; gallery78.com 42

19 Christ Church Cathedral (150 Church St.)
20
National Historic Site Just up Church St. from Gallery 78 is Christ Church Cathedral, considered the first Cathedral in North America (1845 – 1853) to adhere to the exacting standards of the mid-19th century Gothic Revival in church architecture. Modeled after the medieval parish church of St. Mary’s at Snettisham, England, built according to the express wishes of Bishop John Medley, and designed by Frank Wills and William Butterfield, the Cathedral was declared a National Historic Site in 1983. St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease was the place of worship until Christ Church Cathedral was completed (see more on page 46). The Cathedral cornerstone was laid in 1845, construction was complete by 1853, and it was consecrated that year by Bishop John Medley, first Bishop of Fredericton under whose auspices it was built. His exquisite cenotaph is at the east end of the Cathedral, surrounded by the many fine examples of woodworking and stained glass art that add depth and character to this awesome structure. Although not on public display, the Cathedral also contains the letters patent of Queen Victoria, appointing then Rev’d. John Medley as Bishop of Fredericton, and constituting the Town of Fredericton to be a city. It also possesses a Royal Bible, which was presented by Albert, Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). Free Guided Tours in both official languages: July & August. September to late June visitors are welcome to visit the Cathedral on their own (closed on Saturdays). Enjoy the Summer Recital Series every Friday from 12:10 – 12:50pm throughout July & August. 506-450-8500; christchurchcathedral.com

21 Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market
(665 George St.) Good food, good finds, good friends! Open every Saturday morning, the market is a lively, colourful spot! The Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market was named one of the ten best Farmers Markets in Canada. With over 150 stalls, The Market is a cornucopia of meats, vegetables, baked goods, maple products and ethnic foods; a treasuretrove of art, crafts, jewellery, and flowers. The Market pre-dates the city’s founding. In 1785, residents petitioned the governor to create a townsite – a prerequisite for holding a market. The Market building was constructed in 1951. A bequest of $40,000 from the estate of Walter W. Boyce, a prominent local businessman, got the project off the ground. The former owners of the Market York County Council paid the rest of the construction costs.
The small chapel was moved to the rear of the lot and used as a school and in 1845, Bishop Dollard began construction of a new St. Dunstan’s Church. Upon completion it became the cathedral and Episcopal Seat of the diocese – the first Roman Catholic Cathedral built in the new Diocese of New Brunswick. The British government made a donation to the church with the understanding that British soldiers stationed in Fredericton were to have seats in the church free of charge. The building, erected in the mid-1840’s, was replaced in 1965 by the present modern structure. Bishop Dollard’s Episcopal chair occupies a place of honour at St. Dunstan’s, and a moving painting of “The Crucifixion”, a consecration gift to Bishop Dollard from his friends in Quebec, still hangs there too. Open daily, visitors are welcome to visit the church on their own. 506-444-6001; stdunstansparish.ca

23 The Old Public Burial Ground
22 St. Dunstan’s Church
(120 Regent St.) Father Michael Sweeney, from the Diocese of Quebec, was the first Roman Catholic missionary to Fredericton. He purchased property on Regent St. and built a small chapel in 1824. On September 30, 1842, the Diocese of New Brunswick was created and the Rt. Rev. William Dollard, V.G., was named its bishop by Pope Gregory XVI. 44
(500 Brunswick St.) Located in the Old Town Plat is one of the most historically important cemeteries in New Brunswick. The Old Public Burial Ground is the final resting place for many of the Loyalist families who founded New Brunswick, as well as its first clergy, judges, and government officials. It has graves dating back to 1787. They lie with the families of the English governors, members of the British regiments stationed in Fredericton, and the early settlers from the British Isles from whom many Frederictonians are descended. A detailed map of the cemetery is on display. Open to the public from 8am – 8pm daily.

25 The Tannery
24 Wilmot United Church (473 King St.)
Provincial Historic Site A group of Scottish soldiers, all Loyalists, formed the Fredericton Methodist Society in 1791. The congregation outgrew one chapel, lost another by fire, and built the church that stands today in 1852. It is one of the oldest buildings in regular use in the city, and the last of the great wooden churches, which dominated the skyline of 19th century Fredericton. From 1852 to 1974, a unique wooden hand, carved by Edward Charters, topped the tallest spire in Fredericton. The hand, designated in 2007 as a Fredericton Heritage Icon, is displayed in the sanctuary. In 1925, the Fredericton Methodist Church entered the United Church of Canada and adopted the name ‘Wilmot’ in honour of its leading layman, Lemuel Allan Wilmot, the first native–born New Brunswicker to be named the Lieutenant Governor of NB. Among the church’s stained glass windows is one by the William Morris Studio installed in 1913, and in recent years re-identified by researchers and deemed to be a valuable find in Canada. The church’s décor was planned in 1948 by famous Canadian artist, the late Alex Colville. Wilmot’s pipe organ is opus 2049 of Casavant Frères, dedicated in 1951 and restored in 2000-2001. While the church is usually open Tuesday through Friday and Sunday mornings, visitors are encouraged to contact the Office: 506-458-1066 or visit wilmotuc.nb.ca for current hours.

26 Brunswick Street Baptist Church
(161 York St.) This congregation is descended from the 13 members who organized the first Baptist Church in the area on January 1, 1814. By 1840, the congregation had grown large enough to need a new church. That wooden structure, built on this site and dedicated in 1840, was destroyed by fire in 1882. That same year, the congregation laid the cornerstone of the fine Neo-Gothic church that stands today. Built of purple-blue freestone quarried in New Brunswick, it boasts a beautiful tracery window over the main entrance. The Gothic decoration of the semicircular sanctuary and balcony is bathed in the glow of several stained-glass windows. Self Guided Tours Monday to Friday. 506-458-8348; bsbc.nb.ca

28 St. Anne’s Chapel of Ease (245 Westmorland St.)
National Historic Site
27 St. Paul’s United Church (224 York St.)
National Historic Site The history of St. Paul’s United Church begins in 1829 when a public meeting was held to discuss the building of a Presbyterian Church in Fredericton. In 1830 the first worship service was held and in 1832, the church was incorporated. When St. Paul’s celebrated its Golden Jubilee in 1882, plans were underway for a new building. Four years later, on January 10, 1886, the new St. Paul’s was dedicated and is the church building used today. Although the union of Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian churches had been discussed since 1912, it was not until 1925 that the Act of Union came into effect and St. Paul’s became a United Church of Canada. The character-defining elements of the church are its architectural style – High Victorian Gothic with soaring corner tower and tall spire, its stonework (random limestone walling and dressed sandstone to form quoins, window and door surrounds, copings, and band courses), copper roof and stained glass windows. The three-keyboard organ was installed in 1947 and dedicated to the memory of the men and women lost in two World Wars. The sanctuary also displays rich woodwork and decorative painting. Guided tours available June – August. Please contact church directly for more information. 506-458-1183; stpaulsunited.ca 46
Completed in 1847, this Anglican Chapel is said to be the finest gothic revival church of its size in North America. It was built by New Brunswick’s first Anglican Bishop – John Medley – to fulfil the need of a place of worship until Christ Church Cathedral was completed. Based on 13th century churches in Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire England, St. Anne’s is a product of the Gothic revival vision of Bishop John Medley and his English architect Frank Wills. St. Anne’s became a model for nearly 100 other churches Bishop Medley commissioned from the mid to late 1800’s in New Brunswick. St. Anne’s was home to Fredericton’s early elite, as well as the poor, as all seats were free. Plaques honoring Fredericton’s soldiers and war heroes can be found throughout. Many famous Frederictonian’s have ties to the church including Willie O’Ree, who was an altar boy. You can even see a pew where he carved his name! St. Anne’s was the place of worship for Sir Charles G.D. Roberts and Bliss Carman. Roberts’ father was the Rector for 32 years until his death in 1905; and Father of Confederation, Sir Leonard Tilley was on the Vestry in 1856. The sandstone on the Chapel exterior, the hardstone buttresses, and the trim came from New Brunswick; as did the butternut that was used for most of the interior woodwork. The three bells positioned 64 feet in the air were cast by The Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, England, the largest weighing 532 pounds. The low stone wall that surrounds the chapel is interrupted by a lych-gate. These roofed structures, which date back to 16th century England, were designed to protect the coffin from inclement weather during funeral services. This particular gate is believed to be one of only a few such gates remaining in North America. Open to visitors during July and August. Summer Recital Series Wednesday’s in July at 12:10pm. 506-451-0630; parishchurch.ca. 2021-2022 VISITOR GUIDE

2 Odell Park
(Waggoners Ln.)
Eastern Canada’s Best Old Growth Forest Odell Park is a 333 acre year-round park located in the heart of Fredericton. A recent ecological analysis identified rare and sensitive areas of the park. Highlighting these features are the 420 hemlock trees that are more than 47
400 years old! These woods are of special interest to people who enjoy nature, as they are a sample of the once widespread northern hardwood forest, that at one time stretched unbroken from the Saint John River Valley southwest to the Appalachian Mountains in New England. A number of endangered, threatened and rare species reside in the midst of this urban forest. Odell Lodge was opened by the Queen Mother in 1967. The structure was originally built with a number of beams from St. Dunstan’s Roman Catholic Church. There are 16 km of trails meandering their way through a diverse forest. When visiting the park, start on the upper perimeter exploring the Fredericton Botanic Gardens, feed the ducks in the waterfowl pond, visit the children’s playground, or have a picnic in the BBQ area. In the winter the park features an outdoor rink, sliding hill and groomed cross-country ski trails. Open daily, year-round, 7am – 10pm.
3 Wilmot Park
(15 Saunders St.) Directly across the street from Government House is Wilmot Park. Once the gardens of Government House, it is beautifully landscaped with a multitude of perennial and shrub beds. The park boasts immaculate lawns, walking trails (perimeter groomed in the winter for cross country skiing), lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, lawn bowling, Stepping Stone Senior Centre, children’s playground and is a perfect spot for a picnic. It is also home to the Wilmot Park Splash Pad. The title deed of the 12-acre park was originally given to City Council in 1895, by Loyalist descendant, Edward Wilmot, as a gift for “the commonality of Fredericton”. Years before, in 1860, there was a “rush to ready the Pleasure Ground”, as it was fittingly named by the citizens, for the long-awaited arrival of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII, which was the first visit of a “kingly personage” upon the shores of New Brunswick.

(800 Union St.) 620 Carleton 8Park is located on the city’s trail network, North Riverfront Trail, making it an ideal destination from the Lighthouse and across the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge. Originally in the old Village of Gibson, the park was developed after the Town of Devon was amalgamated with the City of Fredericton in 1945. 2 This 4.41 hectares (11 acres) of waterfront green space offers a spectacular view of Fredericton’s downtown and the most amazing sunsets. A public boat launch is accessible. Benches and shelters make this a wonderful picnic site. History In 1888, the area was used as the site for unloading granite to build the first train bridge across the Saint John River in Fredericton. Following the Gibson Fire in 1893, the area was used for 50 years by a succession of lumber mills. During the last quarter of the 19th century, the site was also used as a railway yard.
