Assiniboine Park (cruising)

Assiniboine Park, Winnipeg's large riverside park in the west end, appears in gay cruising guides as an informal, tolerated daytime and evening meeting spot in its wooded and quieter areas, away from the busy zoo, gardens and family attractions. Status is best described as ambiguous and low-key rather than an established scene — activity has declined sharply in the app era. As a public park it is patrolled and family-oriented; public sexual activity is illegal in Canada. Visitors should be discreet, respect other park users, and use common-sense caution, especially after dark.
