This a small strip park that runs lengthwise on a steep incline, connecting Aloutte Drive at the upper west end down to Riverview Crescent at the lower end. It sits over a large culvert for a good sized stream that drains the Riverview Forest. This stream has its origins at Lost Lake in Mundy Park, further to the north west of the park. If you cross to the west side of Aloutte Drive directly across from the park you should be able to view the stream where it disappears into the culvert. The stream reappears east of Riverview Crescent where the culvert opens within the confines of Riverview Hospital Grounds. The park has a small children's playground at the top and a swing set about one third of the way down. A few cherry trees reside in this park. The two good sized specimens at the bottom of the hill in Riverview Crescent are particularly beautiful in the spring and rather photogenic.
Park is on a slope with stairs, so definitely not wheelchair accessible. Play set is on Alouette Drive's side.
