Hillcrest Park
A garden park on high ground in the city, with a clifftop lookout over the harbor and the Sleeping Giant, a free urban viewpoint.
Hillcrest Park sits on high ground in the Port Arthur area. Its neatly kept sunken gardens, paths, and benches surround a clifftop lookout that overlooks the harbor, grain elevators, docks, and the Sleeping Giant across the lake. It's a classic spot for locals to photograph the city and the Giant together. Admission is free, parking is easy, and it's a good stop before or after a walk in the marina park. The flower beds are at their best in summer.
