Discover Pinafore Park – A Timeless St. Thomas Treasure
Nestled in the heart of St. Thomas, Pinafore Park has been a beloved destination for over a century. Originally developed in the late 1860s by the St. Thomas Street Railway Company, the park was created to encourage locals to explore the city by rail — and it’s been drawing visitors ever since. Today, Pinafore Park continues to charm guests of all ages with its perfect mix of natural beauty, recreation, and history. Towering trees, century-old pavilions, and stunning seasonal flower beds set the scene for relaxing strolls, family picnics, and quiet moments surrounded by nature. For outdoor enthusiasts, the park offers hiking and cross-country ski trails, tennis courts, and the renowned Emslie Field, a top-tier baseball stadium that hosts exciting local games. Little ones can cool off at the Rotary Splashpad, explore the accessible playground, or feed the ducks by the small lake. There’s also a wildlife sanctuary and Memory Garden for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Music lovers will appreciate the Morris F. Jones Memorial Bandshell, a landmark venue that fills the park with live performances throughout the year.
