The park was full of people at the time, some who scrambled to get away from the animal.
However, some people just stood and watched the bear pass by.
The bear can be seen running along the fence around the swimming pool before running across to the spray park and into the trees beyond.

Conservation officer Eric Tyukodi says they did receive calls about the bear.
He says it was not aggressive and behaved appropriately by moving away from people.
He did advise people not to run from a bear and instead to be loud, wave your arms and back away.
