Harrison Park






A river runs through this public park also offering sports facilities such as a pool & mini golf.
This was probably the best place we've visited in Owen Sound; this park is free to enter and free parking with camping available (at a fee). This park has everything for everyone, from playgrounds and a basketball court for kids to trails and a restaurant for the whole family. The only thing this place doesn't have is a gift shop for shopping. There are a lot of trails in this park, some of which connect to Inglis Falls (around 1 hour hike for myself and wife). The trails can be muddy from recent rain and have many uneven grounds from tree roots and rocks. We missed the entry point to Inglis Falls, but there was one available, but you would need to pay a fee to enter (or free if you go from the trails). There is a decent restaurant on site with average prices and food and a concession stand on the side of the building. The park also had a fenced area with swans and other small bodies of water. Overall, I would definitely recommend coming here whether you are from Owen Sound or just visiting. We spent a few hours here hiking and ate at the restaurant afterward. Also, the ice cream you get from the concession stand comes in a generous amount (recommend).
We reside on O.S and own an RV rental business. Our primary service is delivering, setting up, and tearing down RVs for guests who book at Harrison Park Campground. Although there's only one pump-out station which may require waiting. The park is family and pet-friendly, offering numerous playgrounds, hiking trails, and a pool, consistently garnering positive feedback from our guests. We've personally visited the campground; the restrooms are always clean, the campsites are level, making it easy to set up our RVs. There's plenty to do and see. I highly recommend the restaurant at the park's entrance. KMP RV Rentals will spend the entire summer at Harrison Park, ensuring our guests have a wonderful time visiting our city.
I went on vacation to Owen Sound and I went to Harrison Park. I was absolutely blown away by just how much is here in the park. Trails, restaurant, pool, camp ground, parks, basketball court, senior center, spot for local vendors, mini put with paddle boats and access to canoes. Overall exploring was very fun and I got to do a lot of things as I spent about 4 hours here. I highly recommend this place and even more so if you're vacationing or camping in the city.
Bird sanctuary is gone. Was looking forward to showing our granddaughter. Waterfall behind pool is closed off. Weeds along the riverbank are not trimmed anymore so you can’t see the river unless standing up or go into it. Park Bathrooms are cleaned well. Pool is nice but outside groups overtake it at times. Cabin is way overpriced for what you get. No bathroom, no air conditioning. Not clean. Bugs and dirt on inside window ledge and dirty outside.
A Lovely Jewel In Owen Sound My family and I visited this park back in August 2022 during our long trip from Ottawa to Tobermory. Sorry that we could not spend much time but there was enough time to appreciate every aspect of the park (picnic tables, mini-zoo, beautiful trails, etc). Staff were very friendly especially the young lady at the rental place). Will definitely consider coming back. Well recommended.
