Wolastoq means "the beautiful river," in the language of the Maliseet (Wolastoqiyik) people who lived beside the Saint John River. Overlooking the river, the park boasts one of the best views of the Reversing Rapids, the inner harbour and the city skyline. It features statues of some of the historical figures that have helped shape the region's history. Learn about Koluskap, the Great Beaver; the Maliseet people's story about how the Bay of Fundy was created. You can also learn about Samuel de Champlain, Madame La Tour and many more. Wolastoq Park is an excellent place for walking, educational tours, picnic lunches or just enjoying a relaxing afternoon taking in the view.
