A Riverside Gem in the Heart of Blackville

Located at 158 Main Street, in the heart of the Village of Blackville, Blackville Municipal Park is a scenic and welcoming space nestled between two iconic rivers — the Miramichi River and the Bartholomew River. Once the site of a thriving lumber mill in the early 1900s, where logs were floated downriver to be processed, the park today is a hub of outdoor recreation, family fun, and natural beauty.

Whether you’re a local seeking a quiet spot to unwind, or a visitor exploring the beauty of the Miramichi region, the park offers a variety of features to enjoy year-round.
