Labyrinth at Bowring Park

Labyrinths have been used for more than 3,000 years and can be found on nearly every continent. Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has only one path that leads you to the centre of the design which in this case features the Bowring Park logo engraved in granite. The path invites you to take a short journey. There are no tricks to using it and no dead ends.
You might use the labyrinth in remembrance, to celebrate, or to focus on a problem. You may travel alone or with a companion(s). You may use it for peace, inspiration, or relaxation; for solace, consolation, fun or exercise. Whatever the reason, experiencing the labyrinth may stimulate the relaxation response which helps ease stress.

The Labyrinth in Bowring Park was officially opened on October 8th, 2021. It is based on the Chartres Cathedral labyrinth located about 80 km (50 mi) southwest of Paris, France. Built in the 12th Century, the Chartres Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

The Grand Concourse Authority is proud to be a part of this very worthwhile project.

Mount Pearl T’Railway

The 4.75-kilometre Arboretum Walk (North) T’Railway in Mount Pearl was upgraded with a new 3-metre wide compacted granular surface. This section is part of the Newfoundland T’Railway Provincial Park and the Great Trail (formerly Trans-Canada Trail).


Waterford Valley Linear Trail

This trail is found in the sheltered valley of the Waterford River in Mount Pearl between Park Avenue and Topsail Road. Explore the historic river which drains a 72 km2 area in Paradise, Mount Pearl, and St. John's.  Four bridges allow views of the scenic cascades and rushing water. These trails were established by the Rotary Club to showcase the river and make it more accessible and enjoyable for residents. The Grand Concourse has been upgrading the approximately 1 km route and its bridges and boardwalks since 2016 on behalf of the City of Mount Pearl.

There are several access points: behind Mary Queen of the World school, Forest Avenue, Clove Brae/Greenwood Crescent, and Park Avenue across from Avery Place.
