Rockwood Park
One of Canada's largest urban parks, with more than a dozen lakes and dozens of kilometres of trails in its woods, plus the Cherry Brook Zoo and a golf course.
Rockwood Park covers about 890 hectares just north of the city centre. Its lakes include Lily Lake and more than ten others, along with cliffs and forest, and a network of hiking and mountain-biking trails. In summer you can swim, boat and climb; in winter the lakes are used for skating. The park is part of the Stonehammer UNESCO Global Geopark, where ancient rock strata can be seen. The small Cherry Brook Zoo is family-friendly. Entry to the park is free, and it is about a 5-minute drive from downtown.
