What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors praise Heritage Park for its peaceful atmosphere, abundant shade, and unique historical Immigrant House. The community gardens and beehives add to its natural charm, making it a pleasant urban refuge. Some note traffic noise and a desire for more picnic tables, but overall it's seen as a valuable and serene community space.
"Nice park - unlike a lot of parks with big grassy fields, this one has plenty of shade and benches to sit and rest, though the noise from nearby traffic can get loud. Great community garden called Soil and Water, along with a handful of beehives. Also home to "Immigrant House", showing what a 1920's house for migrant workers lived."

"A lot of things packed into Heritage Park and a very pleasant refuge on a busy a Rengstorff Ave. The immigrant house and other historical references from the old Mountain View paired with a vegetable garden and mini arboretum is a great diversity of experiences for this plot of land. Land was donated by the owner to the city some years back! Good to have the park instead of another low rise residential complex here!"
Stephane Maes
"Lovely space to stroll about and watch the squirrels chase each other. I like to visit the bees the the back left corner enclosure and then walk to admire the gardens (a volunteer group runs it).
The main trees and shrubs have identifier signs (for the curious) and there are large informational placards.
A water fountain plus one for the dogs, a picnic bench, plus many sitting benches around.
