A lesser-known corner of Moncton

Moncton's oversized north-end escape for walking, biking, snowshoeing, and non-motorized boating. Trail closures here are local news

Walk or drive through Moncton long enough and Irishtown Nature Park comes up. Moncton's oversized north-end escape for walking, biking, snowshoeing, and non-motorized boating. Trail closures here are local news because so many people use the loops.

North of the core, Irishtown Nature Park is the big green lung: surfaced loops, tougher footpaths, and trail names like Dragonfly and Gerhardt that show up whenever work closes a segment. Farther out on Mountain Road, Magnetic Hill Illusion still sells the gravity-hill drive, with Magnetic Hill Zoo as the family stop in the same cluster. Codiac Transpo is the bus brand on civic notices, and Croix-Bleue Medavie Stadium is the venue that triggers traffic plans when a big show lands. The split is practical: bore and Main Street for downtown days, Irishtown for a long walk, Magnetic Hill when someone asks for the classic Moncton photo.
