Watch the "wall of water" in the river, where an amphitheater-style seating provides bore viewing. The tidal bore happens when the Bay of Fundy rising tide brings water counter to the normal flow of Petitcodiac river. The once-famous thundering flow has been reduced to a 6-inch (150 mm) ripple by nearby causeway, but still an unusual sight when it is visible. An electronic display board at the park, or the folks at the city's information booth on Main St, can tell you when to see this phenomenon, which occurs twice a day. Occasionally you will see surfers chasing the bore!
Centennial Park offers a large outdoor playground for kids and a water playground (summer only). On weekends you can catch many locals enjoying the sun and picnics. There is also an outdoor pool/beach (summer only) which charges admission. Centennial Park also offers many wooded walking and biking trails. In the winter, some of the paths are maintained, others serve as cross country ski and snowshoeing trails. Winter park conditions can be followed in the municipality website.
