Pippy Park

Highlight • Forest

Pippy Park stretches across forest, meadows, ponds, and hilltops on the north side of St. John’s. The park offers a wide mix of trails, viewpoints, picnic areas, and family-friendly spaces, along with access to Long Pond and several connector routes. It’s a go-to spot for walking, running, and cross-country skiing depending on the season, and provides a calm, nature-rich counterpoint to the city just beyond its borders. A versatile green space that anchors much of St. John’s outdoor recreation.

Long Pond Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Circling the edge of Long Pond, this well-used loop offers a gentle walk through mixed forest with steady lake views and a mostly smooth, family-friendly path. Wooden boardwalks and small bridges keep the route accessible in wetter areas, while short rises add just enough variety. With quick access from nearby neighbourhoods and Pippy Park, it’s one of St. John’s most reliable everyday trails — ideal for relaxed walks, casual runs, or a quiet lap around the water.

Long Pond

Highlight • Lake

Long Pond sits in the heart of St. John’s, bordered by forested slopes and quiet neighbourhoods, making it one of the city’s most accessible freshwater spots for a quick nature break. The shoreline offers calm views, regular birdlife, and an easy escape from traffic despite being minutes from town. It’s a popular place for locals to walk, run, or unwind, especially in early morning or golden hour when the light settles across the water.
