From Summe Dock, take the short gravel incline south-east up a few meters to the Sir Sandford Fleming Memorial Tower, and be careful when crossing Dingle Road. The tower is open every day of the week from 8 am to 8 pm. Sir Sandford Fleming donated 95 acres of parkland to the public. He was a talented mapmaker and surveyor. The tower is usually open between April 1st through October 31st and it is free to climb the 10 stories to the top.
