At the heart of Hermitage Park, this broad, peaceful pond is a favourite spot for walkers, anglers, and cyclists looking for an easy waterside break. The path circles the shoreline with views across calm water framed by willows, cattails, and open grassy banks. Ducks, geese, and red-winged blackbirds are common sights, and on still days the surrounding trees reflect cleanly across the surface. With benches, nearby picnic areas, and access to the rest of the park’s trail network, it’s an easy, scenic stop for a relaxed loop or a quiet moment by the water.

Nice spot to take a break and see the birds. Watch out for goose poop though!
