  You do get to see a good view, however you have to climb through a fenve to get there. The park needs a lot more care and maintenance. I only spent about 30 min there cz not much to do

  There are no signs, no place to walk and no path. Extremely disappointing!

  About a week ago I drove from London to Pearce Park. There is no longer a pak. It has all been fenced so that there is no access to any trails. It is now just a short circular road, with a fence all around where you drive in and the circle brings you back out on the highway. Very disappointing. The wildflowers have all been mowed on each side of the road and the access to the trail to the "blanket" of trilliums has been fenced off.

  This park has been ruined. John E. Pearce Park had been a magical place and probably one of the most beautiful spots in Ontario. A small park with a beautiful forest that abutted on one side, the old graveyard and final resting place of Colonel Talbot and other early settlers in the area. There was a walk along the Erie bluffs and in the spring thousands of swallows make their home in the cliff side and provided a melodious acrobatic arial display. As the cliff eroded each decade or so a new fence would be erected with a caution sign to visitors to stay away from the edge. There were always a few places that you could stand at the fence, look down the cliff to the beach or over the expanse of Lake Erie. Very peaceful and beautiful place. Well not anymore. As of November 11, 2016 the ministry of natural resources I am told, decided to run fence along both sides of the road continuously along its complete length. This give a closed in feeling and ruins the sightlines and openness of the park. The top of the bluff and look out points are no longer accessible with the new fence being a good 50-60ft from the former fence. This has ruined this park and it's a damn shame. I have been coming to this park since childhood and have brought and shared my love of the place with my children. This is a sad day and whoever made the decision to erect the fencing should be ashamed.

  This is a small park with limit amenities, but has some nice views of Lake Erie over the sandy cliffs.

  Great place to have a picnic and enjoy the Erie Bluffs. Within the woods.
