What a great park, well kept surrounded by water, and if you’re a train enthusiast there always seems to be one rolling through.
Eden Arnold
Beautiful little park up a ways along the shore. Lots of swings (like 3 or 4 sets), slides, see saw with train tracks in the distance. Was a beautiful sight to see in this small town with not much to do. Also conveniently located by a restaurant and somewhere to stay:)
Mike Schnekenburger
Really great park that sits along the lake and upper river. There are lots of playground areas for the kids and picnic tables for families. Tent area and RV hookup and services available to rent. Canada day celebration is normally held here and always has a very good attendance.

This is one of the most beautiful places in all Fort Frances. There are a lot of beautiful places here but I love coming to point park because it is so peaceful. Especially in the evening. The ducks come out and the water is like glass. Wonderful place for a picnic or fishing.
