Not as well known as other parks – though that will change with the new 11,000 sq. ft. skatepark – Pier Park has a lot to offer in a small space that feels like a vast forest. With tennis courts, frisbee golf, picnic areas, playgrounds, etc, this park was modelled on Laurelhurst Park.

Perhaps not what you would expect to find in downtown St. Johns, but what a special treat when you do. Lovely, local, fresh produce that makes your mouth water, and yummy vegan/vegetarian/anyone eats!

A friendly, fun and far less expensive place to see first run movies. They have two screens and offer the usual movie fare along with local microbrew, wine and pizza!
