Millennium Overlook Park

Very nice park with wonderful views and paved walkways for those that want to walk but not rocky or sandy trails.

It's been over 40 years since I've been here. But the view is as beautiful as always

Although we weren't allowed to pay to stay, which was both weird and frustrating. The view was wonderful
However.

If people cannot capture a moment and disperse, what's the impetus to come BACK to Collingwood to spend MONEY or TIME in the city?

And regardless of the retort, it left a sour taste in my wife's mouth and wondered if we would ever be back with the children.

Ah well. Least I got exactly 2 seconds to relax after driving for almost 4 or 5 hours.

Collingwood hospitality does not reflect very well overall on my first interaction in a great many years.

It may be a great many years before I visit yet.

Pretty place to walk around and just chill. Parking is steep and during summer time watch out because they do give out parking tickets. A lot of people were swimming and diving. Nice place to just relax.

It’s beautiful on a clear sunny day. Can easily spend an hour. They have scan and pay parking. Food trucks are available. We saw white swans swimming around. View is great on all sides. People are fishing, sailing. You could walk beside the water for a long stretch and noticed a bird house. Overall good park.

This was near the northern tip of Collingwood and we decided to drop by to check it out. We stayed there for just a minute since there wasn't much to see and they even had paid app parking... I would not recommend paying since we left shortly after and barely left the car's side.

The view wasn't too bad but we had to drive by fairly deep puddles just to get there (it rained the day before). I would recommend going here on a dry day maybe but there are other places to get a decent view.

Interesting Park (at the far end of Collingwood).
Decided to take a small detour as we were heading back to Orillia from Bruce Peninsula during our summer road trip back in Aug 2022. View of Georgian Bay was super. Facilities were minimal but neat and tidy. We witnessed what appeared to be a sort of emergency fire drill with a bunch of helicopters, police cruses, ambulances, and fire trucks. The only bad thing about this place is that eyesore gray building looking more like an abandoned silo or something. Maybe it should be demolished (just my own opinion).
PS: And yes I agree with several folks who complained about parking using your cell phone to pay. I am not a phone person and I DO NOT CARE about having data-plans. I WANTED TO PAY for parking but there was no other option so we took a risk and didn't pay. It seems like that EVERYWHERE. And like some folks in these reviews, Collingwood and all other small towns and cities: they are killing their own tourism industry. They should also accommodate for people with no cell phone. Even in places like Ottawa, Toronto, or east of Orillia one can find parking machines that at least allows one to use other methods of payments. My 2 cents!
