Stephen Juba Park, Waterfront park in downtown Winnipeg, Canada.
Stephen Juba Park runs along the western bank of the Red River, connecting downtown Winnipeg to the Exchange District through an extensive network of paths and open green spaces. The park offers bike routes, walking areas, and direct access to the river shoreline.
The park received its official dedication in October 1983 when Governor General Ed Schreyer unveiled a commemorative monument at the foot of Bannatyne Avenue. The naming honors a significant community leader from Winnipeg's past.
The memorial garden, planted by community members in 2019, stands as a tribute to those affected by substance-related losses in Manitoba.
The park is easily accessible on foot or by bike from downtown, with multiple entry points along the riverfront. The pathways are well-maintained and allow for walking, cycling, or simply sitting along the water.
A monument in the park marks a large underground aqueduct of the Greater Winnipeg Water District that runs beneath the river and park grounds. This hidden water system was critical to the city's growth and development.
