This is a beautiful garden that has been created in a small canyon that was used for ammunition storage in WWII. We enjoyed all the beautiful flowers and plants that seem to thrive in this martime climate. It was drizzling when we visited, but that did not take away from the beauty of the garden.

A small gem waiting to be seen and admired. It took us two tries to find this place and it was worth it. Started by a civil servant attached to the court house this garden is maintained in his honor. It is worth a view for that alone. The flowers are vibrant and there are be ches and picnic tables if you want more to time to take it in.

The trolley tour I was on drove past the sunken garden. It was a short walk from the pier so a friend and I walked over to check it out. It’s a nice small garden with lots of colorful flowers and trees.
If you have a small amount of time while in port go check it out.

Wow, what a pleasant surprise. Someone walked out of the gardens and said you really have to take a look. We were on a short holiday and off we went, truly not disappointed. You could see that work was in progress for maintenance and I suspect it is a lot of volunteers, places to sit and eat your lunch if you were inclined.

Nice free garden. Tunnel directly across street from Pacific Mariners Park takes you there if walking from a cruise ship; no need to follow online maps’ convoluted directions.

My partner and I walked through here today on
our tour around town. It’s beautiful and serene even in the winter there’s a sense of solace in there

I had the joy of finding this three years ago by accident. I rarely pass through Prince Rupert and had not previously spent more than a brief overnight stay there. With 24 hours to kill I walked all over town and found this garden in the afternoon by accident. Wow. On this trip, now with my wife-to-be, I arranged another full day stay in Rupert and we walked all over town and I brought her into the garden without saying what we were going to see. Same reaction. The gardeners for this place are creative and artistic people who must spend an enormous amount of time ensuring that this garden is so casually perfect. The colours are bright and cheerful (my visits were both in July) without being overwhelming. The quiet is amazing in such a central place but it really is sunken into the urban landscape (an old railway cutting?). There are places to sit at different levels and see a different perspective. Don't be in a hurry with this place. It is a great place to relax and take a breather.

We enjoyed a walk through the Sunken Garden. While walking we spoke with one of the many volunteers that maintain this beautiful
Park. The garden is a nice addition to the city.

There is not much to see in this town and this park is small but well presented. If you are in the area it is worth a visit but it will only take you a few minutes. I would not seek this out as a prime target.

This is a small garden close to the port. It takes about 10-15 minutes to visit it. It is really nothing to brag about, but then again, there is nothing much to do at Prince Ruppert, so at least it is an outdoor venue, where you can look at some plants. There were no rare flowers, or anything, just local plants, some poppies, grass, and trees. That's it.

There were tons of people there, taking pictures, walking up and down. I would not describe it as a peaceful place with all that crowd.

On the way to the garden, some homeless person harassed us. He yelled at us and tried to get our attention. As we ignored him, he yelled profanities at us. We saw several seedy people all around Prince Ruppert.

Visiting this garden is a better option than going to a coffee shop at Prince Ruppert. We went to a local coffee shop after the garden, and my credit card was stolen. Read my review about that and be very careful with your positions.
