An amazing park to visit. It offers some fantastic trails for biking, hiking, and rivers to swim or take a dip in. Trails immediately close to the parking sites are usually very wheelchair accessible. Just a fantastic park to immerse yourself in nature steps from downtown. No reservations or tickets needed just make sure you make it back to your car before 9 pm.

This section of the Rouge is exceptional for families with small children. Many paths to choose from and a very large parking lot makes it ideal for an outdoor adventure with your kids. Note that some paths, like Tanglewood Trail, lead into wooded areas with natural paths and hillsides where strollers wouldn’t make it. However, plenty of history to see regarding original settlers in the area. Keep your eyes out for the old wishing well.

This is a newly transformed beautiful national park. We visited yesterday after it was open in May. They added washroom, new signs, installed new board walks and put gravel rocks. It has multiple short trails from 1 KM to 3KM, you can definitely spend days here. Another park is closer to us! We will visit more.

Visit: September 2023 This park was absolutely beautiful. For something in the GTA area, this is one of the best parks I've been to here. It was completely isolated from the urban life, and you get a deep, touching connection with nature. We did encounter a couple of small snakes though, so that's something to note Highly recommend going here, as it was one of the best parks on my visit

This national park was such a hidden gem in the middle of the City of Markham. Parking was easy. This park was well maintained and the Tanglewood Trail was easy to follow & quite straightforward. There were some up and downhills in the woods but not too difficult or danger. Some trails were closed for maintenance at the moment. They had signs to keep you out of those areas. The scenery was amazing. There were many nice views for taking great photos. Since it was such a good place for hiking and biking, I guess it can get busy on weekends. I suggest it’s better to go there on a weekday to enjoy the peace and nature with less people.
