Fantastic park for walking picnics and play. Home to Wild Waterworks, ball hockey rinks, pickle ball courts, and a cricket pitch. We love bringing our dog here to walk. We were delighted to see a busy beaver swimming in the pond east of the water park on our recent visit.! June 14, 2024 M, F, D, C & J

Confederation Park offers a pleasant outdoor setting with picnic tables for those who enjoy bringing their own food. Despite the prohibition on BBQs, it's a great spot for a casual meal. The small playground is a hit with kids, though it often becomes overcrowded. The availability of free parking is a notable convenience. Overall, it's a decent choice for a family outing, but be prepared for busy play areas.

such a beautiful walking trail along lake ontario. lots of greenery, outdoor space, a children’s play area, outdoor water park and a couple restaurants. hutch’s is a classic ice cream shop but with a long line up. baranga’s is beautiful but there is limited seating with no reservations. adventure village is a small outdoor activity place that offers outdoor batting, mini golf and other activities. lots do to and lots to see here. wish there was more festivals held here though.

Good place for family, has a play area for younger kids. This place can be too crowded in summer. For quieter areas, and even better views, not too far, go to downtown Oakville area, Oakville Marina, & Dingle Park area
