Description
The Irishtown Park is built around a reservoir that is created by a dam at the south-east end of the park on the Red Trail. The reservoir is used for drinking water for the City of Moncton and was one of the city's first water supplies in the 1800s. The park consists of 2,200 acres of forest and 250 acres of water and provides several habitat types. The different habitiats provide many opportunities for birdwatching. You can also canoe in the reservoir.
