Absolutely loved our winter visit to Kivi Park! The 2.5km trail was perfect for snowshoeing, and the groomed paths made for excellent conditions. Clean facilities and well-maintained washrooms throughout the park. The elevation changes add nice variety to the hike without being too strenuous. Great location close to Sudbury but feels like you're deep in nature. Worth every penny of the entrance fee.

Kivi Park delivered a solid hiking experience with manageable terrain and interesting elevation changes. The 2.5 km trail kept us engaged without being overwhelming, and the natural surroundings in Northeastern Ontario were genuinely impressive. Parking and entrance fees are required, which is standard for maintained parks. Overall, a worthwhile destination for weekend outdoor enthusiasts.

Had a wonderful time exploring the trails at Kivi Park. The 100m elevation gain provided just the right amount of challenge for our group. The trails are exceptionally well-marked and maintained, making navigation easy throughout our hike. The entrance fee was worth it for the quality of facilities and trail conditions. Beautiful Northern Ontario scenery with lovely birch trees and Canadian Shield rock formations.

Really impressed with the trail quality and signage at Kivi Park. The moderate difficulty level with 100m of elevation gain was perfect for our fitness level. Beautiful fall colors during our visit made the scenery spectacular. Only downside is that dogs aren't allowed, so we had to leave our pup at home. The parking and entrance fees are reasonable considering the excellent trail maintenance and facilities provided.
