Best place in town to get ice cream is right here at Moo Moo's. You'll notice it since it's painted like a black and white cow. The price is a bit high but (~$6 for a waffle cone and 1 scoop), but it's close to the park and it's a welcomed treat after a hot day.

Amazing Mexican food rolled up into a wrap or laid out on nachos. You pick the meat, then add fresh ingredients for them to toss into a flaming skillet. I'd recommend the secret sally sauce, it's a spicy bbq sauce with the right amount of tang.
Pricing is around $11-13 +tax and the food portions a large.

The St. John's Farmers Market open every Saturday from 9am to 2pm.
Everything is local. From fresh veggies to the hand painted Newfoundland gifts. The main attraction and reason I go is the food. There is authentic Indian and Jamaican food cooked right there in front of you and freshly baked sweets for your sweet tooth!

Medium size park with a swimming pool (in the summer), beaver tail treats, skating ring (in the winter), baseball field, and tons of room to throw a ball around or lay in the sun. Lots of people set up slack lines, bring BBQ's, and throw around the football. It's super close to the venice pizza shop and moo moo's ice cream.
