Roberta Bondar Park & Boardwalk
Roberta Bondar Park
A riverside park named after Canada's first woman astronaut, a native of Sault Ste. Marie, with a tent-like pavilion as a city landmark.
Roberta Bondar Park sits on the banks of the St. Mary's River in the city center. It is named after Canada's first woman astronaut, who was born in Sault Ste. Marie. The iconic white tent-like pavilion hosts concerts, festivals and summer farmers' markets. The park connects to a riverside boardwalk of about 2 km, with views across to Michigan in the United States, the International Bridge and passing lake freighters. Walking west takes you to the Bush Plane Heritage Centre and the canal. It is free to enter and ideal for an evening stroll.
