Wolastoq Park

Wolastoq means "the beautiful river," in the language of the Maliseet people who lived beside it. Today, we know it as the beautiful Saint John River. For many centuries before Europeans arrived, Wolastoq, with its tributaries, lands and forests, provided an abundance of food, materials and medicines to the Maliseet people. They were known then as the "Wolastoqiyik," meaning "people of the beautiful river." It provided them with a transportation route for hunting, trade and travel. Today, a park has been developed for recreational and educational purposes.
