Stephen Juba Park

Stephen Juba Park in Winnipeg's Waterfront District

The Stephen Juba Park, named after Stephen Juba, is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It is a waterfront park on the western bank of the Red River and runs from downtown Winnipeg to the Exchange District. The park features bike paths, landscaping and a Water Taxi dock. The park has an extensive multi-user path system, open areas and public art works by local artists.[1]

Dedicated to Stephen Juba in 1983, the park underwent significant upgrades as part of the City of Winnipeg's $9.1 million Waterfront Drive project in 2004.[1]

The park contains one of a select number of off-leash dog parks in Winnipeg.[2]
