Rockwood Park, St John

[Bookbug53]

Would appreciate some up to date information on Rockwood Park. I have done some searching but can't quite put it all together so here goes:

 

1. What would be the best way to get from the terminal to the park?

2. Once there is it easy to get around or are the distances really long?

Traveling with 3 kids ages 6-9.

3. I see an animal park on the map (not Cherrywood), what is there?

4. How is the swimming?

5. Hiking Trails?

6. Has anyone done the horse drawn Trolley Tour? Opinion please.

7. Availability of food? Restaurant, snack bars, etc.

 

Thanks for any info you may provide!
