Timeline

Begin your walk at Crescent Drive Park. It is the closest green space to St. Vital Park, only a short 14-minute walk away. Use the pathways to stretch your legs and enjoy the open air before heading to the main attraction.
12:14
Arrive at St. Vital Park. This is the central spot for your visit. Stroll along the Red River pathways or simply sit and watch the water flow. In winter, the duck pond turns into a skating rink, but in warmer months, it is a peaceful spot for family get-togethers and recreational sports.
12:45
Head to Vjoy Bubble Tea for a break. Located just 15 minutes from the anchor, this café is open until midnight, making it a reliable spot for a sweet drink or snack anytime in the afternoon.

End your outing at Ten Thousand Villages. This fair-trade store is an 11-minute walk from the park area. Browse the hand-made gifts and crafts from artisans around the world. Note that it closes at 17:30, so finish your browsing before then.
