Folk Festival with headliners Emmylou Harris and Steve Earle was awesome! Some great acts all throughout the weekend including Ouroboros, the Ennis Sisters and up and coming talent Zealya plus others. A very chill vibe all through. Bracelet system worked great and security was on point. Lineups for alcoholic refreshments was lengthy but other than that a very successful festival.

Great place to take your kids of all ages and much to learn for yourself about the history of Newfoundland from the beginning of time.
Displays on oil & gas, icebergs, the phenomenal world geology that can be learned in Newfoundland, and much more with the changing displays.
They also have a great gift shop!
Bannerman park loop so pretty ⛸️❄️ fun so nice at night with all the lights
Lovely place with history , there is nice trail to work along . Best time to visit will be summer and spring but any season is still okay . Very good view of St. John and the waters bring chill to your spine that you are part of history

Great spot to view Signal Hill as well as visit the Geo Centre to get a sense of what lies below Signal Hill
We finally made our way up here on our last day in Newfoundland when the fog and rain finally broke and a beautiful sunny day broke through. The views of the harbour are worth it alone, but Signal Hill is worth it for many other reasons. What happened here played a big part in the world of communications we live in today.
Signal Hill a wonderful autumn walk breathtaking Rock Formations - scenery . The Eastern Coastal Views of St. John’s Newfoundland with the stunning Atlantic Ocean. Great place for simple hikes and walking trails everywhere you look :) bring a camera and water
I would consider this one of the must-see sites in St. John's. The hill was the location of the last battle in the Seven Year’s War in North America and was later the location where Guglielmo Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal.

Tangible sites include the iconic Cabot Tower and the various British military instalments around the hill, such as the Queen's Battery Barracks and the various canons which are scattered around. While you can drive up the hill, if able, I would recommend walking instead, as there are various interesting tidbits around the different walking paths, such as the ruins of the old canteen.
A stunning and historical site. Make sure you check out the trails along the bluffs. It's an uphill hike to get there so if you have some mobility issues take transit. But I must see.

Went to experience the anual Blocks on the Rock LEGO exhibit. I was very impressed with the hospitality and creativity! I was also able to experience the offshore drilling exhibit, while I was there. It was also very fascinating!

Brought back some memories from a field trip I've taken back when I was in elementary school , this time I've taken my daughter and she was so fascinated by the gigantic planets , it's all she talks about .
Cool historic site near St. John's. Nice trails, and you can walk up into the tower to read about the history. Beautiful scenery, but it is very windy, so hold onto your hats. Parking can be busy during peak times. Extra parking is down below, but you will have to walk up a very steep hill.

A nice park to walk around, you can also visiting Government House and Colonial Building here.
We really enjoyed visiting this place, we hiked along the Signal hill road, up to the Cabot Tower. Spent about an hour there and enjoyed great views of the ocean and the St John's harbor and city. We also learned the history of St John's military battles and the first wireless transatlantic communication. On the way back to the city, we hiked along the North Head trails which was the most beautiful and exciting hiking we had.
One of the most beautiful places I have ever been. It’s a huge park and there’s lots of trails to walk and things to see. The tower at the top of the hill is historic, the view from the bluff is breathtaking. Just be warned, the stairs to get out to the viewing point way out in the harbour is MURDER to walk back up, but still worth the view. There is a large visitor center and plenty of parking. There also doesn’t seem to be any kind of entry fee, or even a gate. Not to be missed on a trip to St John’s
It was fun there was a basketball court 2 tennis course swings and a play ground with monkey bars and that kind of stuff

Absolutely lovely place to visit by yourself or with family (kids and pets). Get in touch with nature and admire its beauty while relaxing in the serenity of the greenery all around.
Small park with tennis court, basketball court and playground.

Great place to relax, smell trees and flowers, and let the kids enjoy a wonderful playground. There's parking nearby too, which is great. Highly recommend a visit to this park.

Great place with all you could really ask for in a park.
Love this park because there is a lot of space for kids to run and play. There is a nice green space near the park too. But the down side is the playground is often littered with broken beer bottles in the summer time and graffiti has been drawn on the equipment in the past. Thanks to the city, graffiti is usually removed and bottles are picked up in a reasonable amount of time. Also, dogs frequent the park which is fine but the dog feces left behind in the greenspace is disgusting! Watch where you step in the greenspace.
Played pokemon go in 2 feet of snow. Got my lugia!

A beautiful park full of amenities for all! A pool and splashpad, the loop (which is great for kid's scooters and rollerblading in the summer), a baseball diamond, the bandstand and beautifully upkept grasses and gardens throughout the park make Bannerman a special place in the heart of the city.
Awesome place for family friendly environment

The movie was enjoyable.

Great place to know about geology and history of Titanic. The third place exhibits the stories of Titanic in Canada I've ever seen. The other two places are Maritime Museum of the Atlantic in Halifax and Canada Science and Technology Museum in Ottawa.
This park was amazing because not only is it big but it has tennis courts and basketball nets
Great park located in the Eastbourne Crescent area. Has a basketball court on blacktop, two tennis courts, playground, and a large green space area. The park can only be reached by following trails from the main road, making it nice and quite at all times.
Great little neighborhood park!
