Jackson Park is a beautiful green space in the heart of Peterborough, often referred to as the city’s Central Park, designed between 1894 and 1895 by local engineer John Belcher. The park is a long, winding oasis along Jackson Creek, with a picturesque pond, open grassy areas, woodland trails, a playground, and picnic tables, making it a great spot to spend a few hours soaking up the natural beauty of one of Peterborough’s most beloved parks.
