multiple access routes
A landscaped hilltop park with broad city views, flower beds and picnic space. Walking approaches include stairs and a trail, while a seasonal vehicle road provides a different way to reach the top.
1. Getting there and parking
Navigate to 1112 Connaught Drive. The park can be entered by the vehicle loop road, stairs or footpath. Vehicle access is seasonal and weather-dependent; the City gives slightly different spring opening descriptions, so use the sign at the gate as the current authority. Published gate hours are 8 am–9 pm from April through August and 8 am–7:30 pm in September and October.
Parking: Use 1112 Connaught Drive. Vehicle gates are weather dependent, generally open during the warmer months; the posted schedule is 8 am–9 pm April–August and 8 am–7:30 pm September–October.
2. Walking the route
Choose a walking approach appropriate to your mobility and follow it to the landscaped summit area. Paths connect the pergola, flower beds and benches around the panorama, making it easy to combine a short walk with a picnic. The pergola area has concrete paths, railings and a wheelchair-accessible drop-off area, but those features do not mean the stair approach is accessible. Return by your chosen entrance before vehicle gates close if you parked inside. The park is pet-free, and the parking area is not maintained through winter.
