Walk or drive through Brockville long enough and Blockhouse Island comes up. Downtown peninsula for harbour life, cruise departures, festivals, and December's River of Lights. If the event needs a St. Lawrence backdrop, it usually lands here.
The Brock Trail ties the waterfront together for roughly ten paved kilometres, starting near Armagh S. Price Park on Blockhouse Island Parkway, running west along the shore, then following Buell's Creek north. St. Lawrence Park holds the west-end beach and campground; Centeen Park anchors the east end for divers and trail finishers; Hardy Park and Rotary Park cover concerts, Ribfest, splash pad, and winter rink. River of Lights turns Blockhouse Island into the December night drive, with Aquatarium's holiday train as the bonus lap. Recorder fronts lately lead with Bartholomew Street reconstruction between King Street and James Street, the kind of corridor file that sits beside Civic Holiday schedules.
