Kings Square

🌳 King’s Square - Near the City Market 🌳

Although separate, King’s Square and the Loyalist Burial Ground are situated within walking distance from each other. Both are beautiful and rich with numerous historical monuments and memorials.

The King’s Square includes a large pavilion with a fountain, great for photogenic shots (but expect lots of pigeons!). The memorial to “the Glorious Dead” is especially captivating, featuring a cowled figure with a sword, honoring those who fell during Great War, Korea, and Afghanistan.

There are benches and tables available to use if you wish to pause and rest or enjoy lunch here. It’s also within a short walking distance of the St. John City Market. If you’re coming in from the port (such as on a cruise ship), you can walk this entire area and enjoy history, nature, and food, and grab a souvenir while you’re at it!

Great place to relax and meet local people. Well maintained and clean. Minutes walk to downtown Saint John. All major attractions of the city are around such as City Market, City Hall, New Brunswick Mall, Banks and Cafes. Lots of benches to sit and statues of historic figures.
A classic, historic, and inviting urban park, King's Square is located in uptown Saint John at the head of King Street and bounded by Sydney, Charlotte, King's Square North, and King's Square South Streets. A salute to the Loyalist heritage of the city's founders, its pathways were designed in the shape of the British Union flag. The square is home to several monuments and plaques paying homage to individuals who helped shape the City’s heritage. Many of the tall trees that stand in the Square today were planted for the 1883 Centennial Celebrations of the landing of the Loyalists in Saint John.
In 1909, the City Coronet Band donated the unique two-storey bandstand, located in the Square's centre, as a tribute to King Edward VII. Source: Official Website

Put new Treads on my MTB. So, know better way to test them out then riding around in the snow. Last night (Monday, 4th,23),was pretty gnarly out. The combination of running Kenda 1.95 inch 80/20's in front and the Rear, Kenda 2.10 inch aggressive tread work amazing. Like there wasn't even snow on the ground.

Beautiful park full of mature trees and manicured flower beds. Lots of benches and historical monuments to discover.

It's been a hub for Saint John for over a century. After the 'Great Fire' in 1877, displaced citizens stayed there in tents etc. They added a unique bandstand. Only 1 other exists somewhere in South America. It was restored about 6 years ago and still has live music in the summer. The statues are beautiful.

Nice historical spot to go sit as there's is multiple beach/tables and eat a bite just make sure to not leave your meal unattended as the birds will take it 🤣. If your afraid of pigeons this is deffinetly not a place to go as there's tons of them at this spot, often people will throw them food or nuts, etc.

Great spot to hang out when you need a little break also really cool water fountain ⛲ you can feed the pigeons they recognize your faces which is quite neat and cool we enjoy the beauty of the downtown where there’s lots of different places to choose from

Great place to relax in the city. Well maintained and clean. Minutes walk to downtown mall. Coffee shops around the corner. If you have a coffee time stand still in this historical but elegant park.

A beautiful spot to sit and enjoy your surroundings. I particularly loved the 1909 bandstand. So much history here. When we came across this park, I found it to be clean and welcoming. The park benches add to the charm. I'd love to see the bandstand at night, all lit up.

Nice place to go and sit and relax and take in the scenery(must nicer in spring and summer)

Food looked amazing. I only had the chowder and it was wonderful so full of seafood.

such a beautiful green space in the middle of a beautiful old city. too bad hurricane Dorian took down and ripped out some our parks oldest and biggest trees. still worth visiting.

Beautiful cauzy flowery garden. Gazebo water fountain nice and relaxing love it.

A gorgeous and quick stop for a rest with beautiful flowers to gaze upon. With walking through if you're in town for a visit.

Nice park a short walk from the port.

A SJ Landmark. Beautiful place to sit quietly or enjoy a coffee from Java Moose with a friend. A throw-back to when city's had character. Always reminds me of Saint John's rich history.

This park is best in terms of greenery, known for its different types of flowers, one fountain right in the center, if you wanna hangout with your friends or family person, this place is best.!!!!

Great park right downtown. Very nice ambiance from the local shops.
