When you arrive at the north end of the Eco-Park, scan the canal for any birdlife. To visit the Eco-Park, proceed on foot through the north entrance and take the various footpaths (trail map below).

Named in honour of Mary Malcolmson, Malcolmson Eco-Park is a small urban oasis of Carolinian woodland and tall grass prairie. Established in 1993 and tended by a dedicated group of volunteers, it provides a prime rest stop for hungry warblers and other migrants. Extensive fencing has been erected along the Welland Canal that restricts access to previously open areas.

The north end of this part of the west pier houses the restricted area of the Canadian Coast Guard and is off-limits to birders.

Prothonotary, Worm-eating, Connecticut and Prairie Warblers have been among the 32 species of warbler observed here and in Malcolmson Eco-Park over the years.
