Gravel and wood chip trails, along with a beautiful boardwalk featuring picturesque wooden arches, assist visitors in exploring an arboretum and a wetland, making Meridian Centre Park a popular destination for birdwatching. Follow paths that connect to the Erie Canalway Trail to create a loop back to the parking lot.
An easy walk along the perimeter trail
The trails are primarily flat, with some covered in gravel, others in wood chips, and a beautiful boardwalk in one section. In the western part of the park, you’ll find nature paths and an arboretum with various plantings and wooden arches, making it a popular spot for birding.
And an easy walk along the canal
Connect to the Erie Canalway Trail and complete a loop to where you parked. Several paths lead up to and down from the canal trail.
