Irving Nature Park

The Irving Nature Park is a free park in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada, close to the nearby urban centre, only minutes away from the uptown area.

It encompasses a total of 243 hectares (600 acres) and is sandwiched between a salt marsh and the Bay of Fundy.

The park is owned and operated by JD Irving and is open annually from May through October for motor-vehicle traffic.
