Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Beautiful waterfront and fountain... lots of goose poop. Info centre without much info.

Oct 2023 • Family

We stopped ... we left... too much goose poop everywhere! Info centre did not seem to have much info. Kingston is not dog-friendly according to the info center... no known dog-friendly restaurant patios. Stopping in was not worth the effort.

Beautiful square in charming city.

July 2019

This square is very well located,just in front of the city hall and beside the tourist centre and famous engine. We’ve visited this summer and we fell in love with Kingston. A must for sure.

Not to clean.

July 2018 • Family

Kingston is beautiful, but we were disappointed with the Confederation water it was dirty. We saw some off the kids playing in the water and lots of ducks swimming plus dogs....not a good place to be in the water if it dirty.

Waterfront Views

Mar 2018 • Family

The park is easy to access from anywhere and you can visit Engine 1095 and creative art in the park. Close to shopping, bars and restaurants. Worth the visit any time of the year.

Good place for Family Photos

Nice park next to the Engine and Kingston sign. Great place to walk, have a picnic and take lots of photos. Good place for family photos with the engine and Kingston sign.

A hub of activity on a Saturday evening

July 2019 • Couples

There's not much to see per se, but there's the Kingston picture sign, and a nice fountain. The place is over run by hot dog vendors, but it's a nice place for people watching or wandering after a meal at one of the nearby pubs

Just a treed area

May 2019 • Family

This is just not a place to make a special visit too.
Trees and parked cars. Just nothing to see.
Overflow parking area for the hospital
