Bowring Park is one of St. John's main green spaces, with ponds, bridges, walking paths, gardens, and memorials spread over a wooded valley. It is a good place to slow down after time in the compact downtown.
The park is most rewarding for a gentle walk, especially around the duck ponds and formal garden areas. Families will find playgrounds and open space, while visitors with more time can use it as an easy local break from sightseeing.
