Riverfront Park
Situated along the Riverview side of the Petitcodiac River, Riverfront Park is an integral part of Sentier NB Trail and the Trans Canada Trail and links Riverview to both Moncton and Dieppe. Visitors will enjoy the park's playground, picnic area as well as the many opportunities to view the Tidal Bore. If you're in town on Wednesday night, be sure to catch the show at the Gazebo.

A scenic phenomenon caused by the Bay of Fundy tides, the Bore occurs twice daily. The higher waters in the Bay cause the water in the placid Petitcodiac River to roll back upstream in one wave, which can range in height from 3 to 60 cm. Note the rapid range and dramatic change in the river itself; at low tide the muddy river bottom is often visible, but within one hour of the arrival of the Bore, the water level rises some 7.5 meters (25’) to fill the river to it banks. The Tidal Bore can be observed from many places around Greater Moncton.
