The border between the two parks is a small stream with a wood and metal bridge.
[citation needed] The park was named after Dick Bell, a member of the Canadian House of Commons from 1957 to 1963, and again from 1965 to 1968.
[citation needed] Cyclists must dismount and must walk their bikes throughout the park.
In 2009, the city allowed dogs on a leash as a one-year pilot project.
Currently, dogs are allowed on a leash, but "are prohibited from being within five meters of all children's play areas and pools".
