St. Vital Park: A Natural Oasis in Winnipeg

Getting There

• Car

  If you're driving from downtown Thompson-Nicola, head south on Trans-Canada Highway (BC-1) towards Winnipeg. Continue on the highway until you reach the junction with Highway 100. Take the exit onto Highway 100, following signs for Perimeter Highway. Merge onto St. Mary's Road (MB-59) and follow it south. Turn left onto River Road, and you will find St. Vital Park at 190 River Rd, Winnipeg, MB R2M 5C4. The drive typically takes about 12 hours, so plan for rest stops along the way.

• Public Transportation

  To reach St. Vital Park via public transport, you will first need to take a bus from Thompson-Nicola to Winnipeg. Check local schedules for routes to Winnipeg's downtown bus terminal. Once in Winnipeg, transfer to Winnipeg Transit. You can take Bus 18 or Bus 15 from the downtown terminal. Both routes will take you to the stop nearest to St. Vital Park. Once you get off, walk south on River Road for about 10 minutes to reach the park. Be sure to check the current bus schedules for exact times and routes, as they may vary.

• Taxi or Ride-sharing

  If you prefer a more direct route, consider taking a taxi or a ride-sharing service like Uber from your current location in Thompson-Nicola to St. Vital Park. This option is convenient but will be more costly than public transportation. Expect a fare upwards of $200 due to the distance. Ensure you book your ride in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons.
