The Oromocto Riverfront is the historical centre of the community where one can learn about the rich history of the community at the interpretative kiosks located along the banks of the waterfront, or view the many monuments and sculptures located there. At the riverfront one can also rent a canoe, kayak or paddle boards at the small aquatic centre and explore first hand the Oromocto River and the mighty 
St. John. All sites are within walking distance of one another. Learn about topics ranging from Oromocto's origins to its flourishing lumber trade and sacred landmarks.
