You must go to Harris Park for Canada Day. Lots of performers and displays, great food and crafts, best fireworks in town

Paved paths along the Thames river, lots of open space, benches and a big playground at the forks of the Thames. Perfect for running, walking, biking, dog walking, baby strolling etc...this trail system links to Springbank park...fantastick

Harris park is a great meet in the middle park that has many bike paths that connect to other parts of london such as Greenway park and covers a large area. the Only problem is that frequent flooding of the thames often destroys and muddies its lower area during rain or melting snow, and there used to be more play areas for children but there is now only a play area beside the splash pad, which would be an even bigger attraction if it were expanded, there is so much room to do so. Some more access to food or covered areas and I feel that this park would be a little more lively. That said it is still a popular place for outdoor concerts during the summer.

I think there should have been more agents letting people in. We did not enjoy waiting in line for two hours. I didn't like all of the separation fencing, I've never seen anything like that.

Well organized and clean. Great time was had by our whole group! Looking forward to next year! Rock the Park!

We attended "Rock the Park" - we have been to many festivals and venues recently and I have to say this was so well organized that we were impressed. The staff have this working so well that while it is not a free festival it was worth every penny just for the level of security and sense of order that can be missing at an outdoor event.

We went to see Styx at Rock the Park was a good experience in 2013... Hoping 2014 is as good.This is good for almost all ages.

Walked up from parking to Oxford and took photos of birds and some small wildlife. ONe problem I noted was the the path is shared and some cyclists rush down the path (compared to the speed of a walker) and I was nearly hit twice.

Harris Park is a peaceful and nice little park when there are no events taking place but the setting completely changes with the hustle and bustle of major events like Rock In The Park!

But, don't stick a needle in your foot. Stay on the well-worn paths and trails and out of the bushes. The par is frequented by the less desirable in the evenings and nights, and can be unsafe for young and old at night. Avoid the riverside at the heat of summer, the Thames gets pretty disgusting and smells like on open sewer. The bike trail makes it most of the way through London and is second only to the Fanshawe Lake trail.

Harris Park has many things going on in it through out the warmer months. There are conserts, craft shows, and many cultural events planned anually here. There is often a beer tent that goes along with the entertainment. Quiet times can be spent just walking the main path through the park that follows along the Thames river. The path is very long and starts South of Horton Street and follows the river North through smaller parks, Harris Park and eventually will take you to the Univercity of Western Ontario and on through the Kilarny woods area.

Harris Park could be so much more. Its a large patch of grass beside the river. Not much more. People walk their dogs, jog, feed the ducks. They also hang around and shoot up and lurk in the woods. There are lights along the paths but why would anyone want to be there at night?There are a few events held there like Rock the Park, but fewer than there used to be. Nice for people who live nearby but not really worth a special trip. It is quite a long walk from any parking so its really not a convenient place to visit.
