Duration: 2 hours

King's Square

Charlotte Street, , Saint John, NB E2L 4Z6

A classic, historic, and inviting urban park, King's Square is located in uptown Saint John at the head of King Street and bounded by Sydney, Charlotte, King's Square North, and King's Square South Streets. A salute to the Loyalist heritage of the city's founders, its pathways were designed in the shape of the British Union flag. The square is home to several monuments and plaques paying homage to individuals who helped shape the City’s heritage. Many of the tall trees that stand in the Square today were planted for the 1883 Centennial Celebrations of the landing of the Loyalists in Saint John. In 1909, the City Coronet Band donated the unique two-storey bandstand, located in the Square's center, as a tribute to King Edward VII.
