Ours is like that as well. It begins at Memorial University, and includes some heavily developed areas - Admiral's Green Golf Course, the Fluvarium, Botanical Garden, lots of trails, Pippy Park Campground, a few swimming areas, etc. But a lot of the park, and the areas beyond its western border, are wilderness until you get to Portugal Cove-St. Philip's on the other side.
