Top 50 things to do and attractions in St. Catharines

What a beautiful and interesting place to learn about the history and how the Welland Canal works. It's also an excellent spot to discover and get familiar with one of Canada's national sports: lacrosse. The view of the canal from the observation deck is spectacular, and if you're lucky enough to see a ship in that water lock during your visit, the experience becomes even more impressive. The facility includes clean restrooms, large parking lot, gift shop, audio-visual room, rentable event spaces, picnic tables, an adjacent playground, and a beautiful memorial honoring the many workers who lost their lives over the canal's 200-year history.

The St. Catharines Museum & Welland Canals Centre is one of those local gems that beautifully blends history, engineering marvels, and quiet charm. I stopped by on a sunny afternoon and was pleasantly surprised at how much there was to see and learn—especially for a museum that often flies under the radar compared to other Niagara-area attractions. The museum itself is well-curated, offering a deep dive into the history of St. Catharines and the vital role the Welland Canal played (and still plays) in Canada’s transportation story. I especially enjoyed the exhibits on early shipping, local industry, and the stories of the people who built and lived around the canal. But the real magic is outside, on the viewing platform. Watching the massive cargo ships pass through Lock 3, right in front of you, is absolutely mesmerizing. You get a true sense of scale and the incredible engineering that goes into canal navigation. It’s great for kids and adults alike—you can spend a peaceful hour just ship-watching. Your kids can borrow a backpack of explorer. It is free and welcome for donation. The staff are friendly and informative, and the building is clean and accessible, with plenty of parking. Whether you’re a history buff, an engineering fan, or just curious, this museum is well worth the visit.

A fabulous museum of not only the Welland Canal (impressive in its own right) but also of the town of St. Catherine’s. It’s an absolute credit to the town and the museum founders/staff/managers to have the foresight and dedication to amass such a wealth of history and their culture from colonial times right up to modern history. Excellently preserved classic cars, lacrosse history, but the small stuff too e.g. a display in the towns Soap Box derby which ran I. The 60s & 70s. I could have stayed here for hours. Best to time your visit to coincide with some of the big ships passing through the canal (check the ship tracking apps/websites) and then check out the museum, all of which is free.

A great place to visit in St Catharines. Completely free though donations are accepted. A history of the Welland canal system and the Ontario Lacrosse museum. There is also a nice little park on site.

The museum was interesting and the staff very helpful. We watched a mid size shop go through the lock and another larger one go back through the lock. A great experience.

Awesome experience. Very cool to see the massive ship, the locks, and draw bridges. The museum itself is packed with cool historical items and it's free to visit. For anyone driving to or from Niagara this spot is a must visit. Little kids will be amazed at the sights.

St. Catherines Museum and Welland canal was a cool experience. Seeing the boat in lock three was an interesting experience. The museum inside features several unique artifacts about local history, interesting and interactive sections for kids, and a lacross history section. Overall great experience!

First time visiting here and is a great venue . We sat in row H and will definitely keep this in mind as it’s at the right height compared to the stage level and basically we were at eye level with the musicians.

The acoustics are awesome in here. We came here a few times now, the entertainment never disappoints. All the staff are very friendly and helpful.

First time visiting to watch Howie Mandel who, a long with his opening act, were hilarious. Facility was clean and spacious, seating comfortable and washrooms were clean and modern. All staff were also welcoming and friendly.

Saw Elton John Impersonator this week. Fabulous show. This guy has talent. The venue was filled with helpful staff and a very clean venue. Sound is unbelievable. Would recommend for any show they present.

Went to see James Barker Band and had great seats on the balcony left side. Unfortunately, the enjoyment of the concert was not enjoyable due to smoke constantly coming out of the wall in front of us. Breathing was hard and ended up leaving early with a massive headache. We brought the matter to a representative but they never came back to give us feedback. 2 other couples had the same concerns

This was my first time at the performing arts center and it didn't disappoint. The view from the seats was amazing and very comfortable. All the ushering folks are volunteers and we're very helpful on directing everyone to their seats. Ordering drinks before the show and picking up during intermission is a great idea. Kuddoos for this.

Cute entertainment venue. Every space was incredibly clean, modern, and kept very well, including the washrooms, and everything looked new still despite them celebrating their 10th year anniversary. Our show was in the recital hall which is the smaller of the theatres but the seats were amazingly comfy and the space had good acoustics. Staff were helpful and friendly :) Drinks also, at the bar, surprisingly did not require a mortgage. $3 for water and $2.50 for soda may have been the most refreshing aspect.

Date of Visit: Saturday, June 28, 2025 If you're looking for a wholesome, relaxing way to spend a few hours, Happy Rolph’s Animal Farm is a must-visit. Nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario, this charming spot offers a mix of nature, history, and animal encounters that’s perfect for all ages. We were delighted to see a variety of farm animals available for adoption, including cows, horses, donkeys, pigs, and ducks—all well cared for and clearly loved. It’s a great opportunity to learn more about animal care and even consider giving one a forever home. Beyond the barnyard, we explored the waterfront walking trail, which winds through peaceful greenery and offers beautiful lake views. One of the most moving parts of our visit was the 9/11 Memorial Walk, where trees are dedicated to individuals—many from the local area—who lost their lives in the 2001 attacks. It’s a quiet, reflective space that adds a meaningful layer to the experience. The grounds are clean, well-maintained, and welcoming. Whether you're visiting with kids, friends, or just looking for a solo stroll, this place offers a refreshing break from the bustle of everyday life. Final Thoughts: A hidden gem that combines education, remembrance, and the simple joy of connecting with animals and nature. Don’t miss it if you’re in the Niagara region! There is plenty of onsite parking – but as this place is often used for birthday parties, and has frequent visitors, the lot can get full and street parking needs to be used. It is free to visit.

Happy Rolph’s Animal Farm – A Family Treasure by the Lake Happy Rolph’s Animal Farm is such a special place where the love for animals, family time, and nature all come together. It’s both a sanctuary for rescued animals and a welcoming spot for families to relax, play, and connect with the outdoors. The farm is home to a variety of animals including a deaf pig 🐖, cow 🐄, goats 🐐, sheep 🐑, horses 🐴 (a mother and her baby), ducks 🦆, geese 🪿, and more. Over the years I’ve also seen llamas, chickens, and other animals. It’s heartwarming to know each one has found a safe place here. While dogs aren’t allowed in the animal area, they are welcome on the trails outside, so you can still enjoy a walk with your pup. The property itself is stunning—tucked into a natural forest 🌳, surrounded by tall old trees and overlooking the lake. It’s the perfect spot for a hike or picnic 🧺 with the whole family. A scenic trail winds past three connected ponds that lead to the lake, home to geese, ducks, and turtles 🐢. Families with children will especially love the large playground. It’s spacious and well-designed, with swings for babies, bigger kids, and even accessible swings for children with disabilities. There are five different slides 🛝, a tractor 🚜, a boat swing 🛶, and interactive games like loops and hooks. Picnic tables—some shaded—make it easy to enjoy a meal outdoors, and the washrooms are big and clean. Another unique feature is the lakeside memorial walk, which honors the lives lost on 9/11 with dedicated trees and plaques—a peaceful and meaningful space to sit on the benches and reflect while overlooking the lake. Parking is never a problem, with plenty of spaces both on-site and nearby street parking. All in all, Happy Rolph’s is more than just an animal farm—it’s a place where kids can play, families can bond, animals are cared for, and everyone can enjoy the beauty of nature. I’ve been visiting for several years, and it continues to be one of my favorite local spots to return to. Please donate to this amazing cause and become part of this wonderful community so we can all help to make it possible to create something special for all to enjoy and help to save animals in need.

This is such a lovely place for the whole family. If you’re just looking for a nice place for a walk, or a place for the kids. This place is truly lovely. I’ve been coming here since I was a little kid and im so glad it’s still here. The whole place is super clean.

Happy Rolphs is truly at the core of family and simple pleasures. Gorgeous walkway and sunset, tons of ducks, turtles, a resident skunk and of course all the little petting zoo animals. It has a huge playground for kids that looks to be updated annually because all the equipment looks brand new. I came here as a kid, and I love it still in my adulthood

An amazing place to stop for a picnic with the family. A small farm animal sanctuary with lots of trails and beautiful views. Very clean and well maintained. Staff were very friendly.

It was a great experience at Happy Rolph’s Animal Farm. The animals look nice and healthy. The area with the animals is a little small, but the farm itself and the trails are quite big. There are a lot of geese on the trails, so beware of that. There is a free parking and even on Sunday there were free spaces. Additionally no tickets are needed.

Considering it’s free this is a really nicely done place. The grounds are worth exploring and the 9/11 memorial trail was striking. Make sure you donate while you’re there. Very easy via the QR code. The hook and swing was weirdly addictive.

It's a great park .but if there's going to be hosting events ( winery's), they must put out ashtrays the cigarettes butts all over the ground was disgusting. There are so many other options. We asked the gentleman at the gate , and his response was we don't encourage smoking ... just littering . Give a hoot don't pollute.

Had the most amazing time at the Grape and wine festival, The music was awesome, the choice of vendors was great, had so much fun.

Another park adventure! Nice soft play mat. Lots of benches for families to sit near the park itself. It was surrounded by lots of shade. Park is great for all ages. Children must be accompanied. Chonky squirrels. Beautiful rose garden. It seemed clean for most of the part. Would have given a 4 star, but there were 6 homeless persons passed out in the gazebo, a few sleeping on the benches throughout the park. Or some leaving their belongings on the bench so no one would sit on it.

Amazing night at Born and Raised!! Watched Metric & City in Colour. Great views, fantastic music,friendly crowd. So well organized!

We went for the born&Raised festival. It was a great space for it. Lots of street parking around the neighborhood. A good amount of shady spots to cool off in the park. They had a bathroom building but it was closed for the festival and they used outhouse only.

Nice park, lots of space, really great for outdoor concerts!

Beautiful park, spacious and very nice to spend time with the family.

Large pavilion available. Band stand on grounds. Grass is well maintained. Clean with a lot of garbage around for use. Dogs must be on leash. Many portable toilets are available with a hard building near the beach. Amazing carousel with a playground located beside it. Right next to the beach.

Pork Dalhousie + Welland Canal. A day trip from Toronto to St. Catherine is a great idea! A watermelon will be the icing on the cake in this hot summer day. Diving into the blue water. Sleeping on the grass. We had made the memories.

Now that the construction of the pier has been completed last year,it's renovation is amazing. More parking spaces and more walkways and alongside the walkways is better lighting to enjoy the walk at night before park closes for the day at 9 pm. The Lakeside Carousel is a delight for all ages,closed for the winter season,will open in the Spring.

July 9, 2022 Excellent place to enjoy either alone or with family. Based on my experience as a family with 2 children, this place was phenomenal. It was our first time visiting the place and we had an incredible day, although I must mention that parking is a problem. Below I detail about the place. - Parking: It seems that it is made to make fines because you can pay a maximum of 3 hours and if you do not return before 3 hours there is already a security person ready to fine you. We had planned to stay all day so we had to set the alarm to come back every 3 hours to pay. (This is not just in this place but in various places in Ontario) . There is a parking permit but for residents in the area. . Free off-site parking, check their website . Machine does NOT accept DEBIT or VISA DEBIT cards. . $3 per hour For more help call to Customer Inquires - Carousel: It is beautiful and has the whole story in frames with photos that are hung on the wall. It is in good condition and transports you to times of yore. . 5 cents a ride . Donations are accepted . Staff will not make change - Beach area: It was clean Sand is nice and soft Unguarded waterfront - Picnic table pavillion rental or book, check their website - Family washroom available - Ice cream, hot dog and more. - Volleyball nets - Lighthouses (2) Overall great place.

We went by this park on a Sunday afternoon in April. It was a very sunny day and there were quite a lot of people in the park. The parking was very big and it didn't take us time to find a space to park. Parking was also free between September to May. It was a clean park with a lovely view of the lake. We could also see Toronto on the other side of the lake! The park was clean and had many benches to sit if you get tired. We had a great time walking around the park. During off season, the washrooms were not opened but there were portable washrooms. We will definitely visit again!

This is an awesome park. It is beautiful to see the water especially in the evening. The carousel is also a fun thing for the kids.

We throughly enjoyed Lakeside Park on CANADA DAY! 🍁Well organized celebrations on this particular weekend, including food vendors, stage performances , mini golf games, besides a nice 🏖️ Beach. Overall, funtastic environment for families.

Great trails the old mill and waterfall are a great site the history behind the pace is very interesting to learn about very nice day spent hiking and enjoying some history

Dam was closed and no falls around the mill. There’s a falls on the opposite side of the cliff. Comfortable walk but you have to follow the blaze. We stayed on Bruce trails marked with white. There are also Laura Secord legacy trail and trans Canada trail. Very scenic. Free parking if you’re going during high season come early.

This place had a rocky parking lot but was free to enter. There were some historical buildings here, as well as Decew Falls. My wife and I didn't stay long here but the surroundings was nice. There may be a way down but either we didn't really find a way. Overall, I recommend paying this place a short visit if you are visiting St. Catherine's.

Although parking is an interesting experience this site is well worth the inconvenience. The history is remarkable considering the site consists of only a few buildings. But the details that are presented on the dozens of plaques and the extremely dedicated and knowledgeable volunteers will provide you with a memorable experience. It would indeed be a shame if the levels of government can't get there act together to provide more water to the site. Oh and the hiking trails are well worth investigating.

Love places like this... Not only are waterfalls a fan favorite of mine but I like places that also involve some extra history and this place for sure checks off both. We enjoyed our stop here even though it was moving into the evening by the time we got there so the inside of all these places were closed. It was still cool and certainly worth the stop. If we had more time I'm sure we could have spent all day here. Check it out for sure if you are in the area! If you would like to go inside just make sure to check the open hours before going :)

Beautiful spot for a hike and if you can make it down to the waterfall you'll feel like you're in another country. There isn't a lot of parking so the earlier you can get there the better

Morningstar Mill's Decew Falls trail is a hidden treasure. Winding through lush woods along the Niagara Escarpment, it provides a serene hiking experience. The trail's highlight is undoubtedly the breathtaking Decew Falls, a picturesque cascade that rewards hikers with a mesmerizing view. A perfect blend of history and nature awaits here.

We did the private barrel cellar tasting with Lynne, what an amazing experience. Lynne gave us a sample of the fruit from the vineyard and it was GRAPE. overall I can say that the private barrel cellar tasting was nothing to wine about and definitely worth it. Lynne will be pitching a new experience soon; foudre hotel cellar stay experience, guests will sleep in a capsule style hotel in converted foudres and it will be awesome.

Wonderful experience at Henry of Pelham Family Estate Winery! The wine tasting experience was well done and very informative. Be sure to experience all this property has to offer and also get something to eat. It will not disappoint.

Friends of us told us about the membership so we bought one. We finally made it out today not having much knowledge of the winery leading up. When we walked in, we were immediately helped by Olivoa, who was an absolute delight. She gave us a brief explanation of wines we had (I let her pour her faves and my fiance picked his flight). It was just enough to be ineresting without being an overkill of information. We enjoyed the large patio. We ordered by the glass outside also, we did not catch his name but a tall guy with tattoos (getting a chest piece soon, we are all tattoo people and had a wee chat about it) was wonderful also. We very much enjoyed our experience end to end and cannot wait to make it back.

Very nice and cozy place for a sip of wine! The wine itself is very interesting, several nice sparkling samples like mix of Chardonnay and Riesling. Also Baco Noir was very deep and full bodied. Totally recommend to visit.

We did the wine tour with them and it was cool. The lady who did the tour for us explained everything about the process they follow to make wines and the history of the winery. Food was also good and we had a good time.

Tried 6 wineries on a trip to the area, and were so happy we saved this for last!! Lynne was absolutely amazing; she was knowledgeable, engaging, and great at answering all our sidebar questions. Highly recommend coming here for the private cellar tasting— I swear the wine tastes better when sipping in their gorgeous cellar room. Baco noir is a must-buy!!

Beautiful Vineyard and Friendly Staff! I was driving from Toronto to Buffalo and wanted to do something different along the way so I stopped at their winery (late in the season on November 2nd). They let me walk around the vineyard even though they weren't officially open yet and answered some of the questions I had. They even let me take home with me some cab sav grapes that weren't of a high enough quality for their wine (still perfect for cooking and eating) that were still sitting on the vines. I also got to see the ice wine production with the grapes in the nets which was super cool as well. I totally recommend stopping by if you have the chance, this place is great!

Small but situated in a comfortable, indoor (most vendors anyway) space. Some very interesting products made by some talented artisans.

Closes at 2 pm so everyone was closing the stands bc I didn't get there until 1:45. I will definitely go back. Open building so dress for the weather. Food, fruit, vegetables, homemade baby blankets, bibs and burp clothes, jewelry, pumpkins.

My go to for produce and best eggs you can get!. It's overall a lovely atmosphere and fun place to bring the family! Support local farmers and vendors

Expansive Farmers Market with lots of vendors of fresh fruits and veggies and prepared foods

The St Catharines Market is fantastic!! Great produce, bakery, so many vendors with everything from dog treats to roasted nuts, to crafts and lots of food vendors. If you haven't been in a while you are definitely missing out.

Went to this market for the first time last weekend. I typically stick to Welland cause it is closer, but my wife wanted to try the Korean street food trending on tiktok. Line up was 50 minutes but well well well worth it. Also bought a kohlrabi bigger than my head, some delicious lavender lemonade and some of the juiciest corn I've had in a long time. Well worth the trip. Live music was a nice touch too

Great variety of produce, fruit, eggs, meats, baked goods, beautiful floral bouquets very reasonably priced. Excellent coffee stands. Good live music. Get there ... it's fun!

Went here for our first River Lions game. It was awesome. Staff were really friendly and polite and made the experience great. We can’t wait to come back for a game.

Small and cute place. Staff was friendly and helpful. Parking was full as it is too small and we had to go to pay parking and even those were busy. Found one not far and likely we could pay $5 instead of $20 as we were already late and it was past 5pm therefore we were late to the show. Plan ahead and come early otherwise just go to pay parking.

Great size for concerts. Sum41 tickets were $75 each and were in the center stage. Distance from stage had to be the best i have ever been to for the price. Definitely will visit again!

Nice arena BUTTTTT small lot to park N. Need more parking next to arena. Great hyped atmosphere for 🏀 gm Loud rowdy fans #Go River Lions CEBL 🏀 is 👍💯💪 #4 the Tribe 🦁 JUDAH was N Da building #YAHU

This was my First time to the Meridian Centre. I went with friends to watch wrestle mania. The venue was nice and easy to navigate with clean bathrooms. Parking was a bit difficult we ended up in a parking garage a few blocks away.

Came here for a River Lions game. Would like to see more representation when they’re choosing fans. They only chose white kids.

We went to attend the Buffalo Bandits game. This place doesn't except cash, debit/credit only, very disappointing, strike 1. They didn't sell any merch for the kids strike 2. $15 for a beer, almost fell over, strike 3. Good game though👍

Love this place. It’s free and there is a fun little shooting space set up with different sticks to try out. Would be fun if there was a speed gun set up. With more exposure, it could be so much more!!! There needs to be something about recruitment, a focus on youth lacrosse, highlighting the opportunities that exist in both field and box. A display visually demonstrating the benefits of Lacrosse as a cross seasonal training sport for hockey would be excellent.

Good collection of memorabilia and a small play area with sticks and a net for kids

A beautiful old carousel by the lake! The kids had a great time and it felt like stepping back in time for just five cents. Some of the original animals are still there. We also enjoyed the beach. The water was nice and the kids had lots of fun! Only challenge is getting a parking nearby.

Located in Lakeside Park ( willows in the Breeze...yes, that Park) Ride for only 5 cents, if you don't have a Nickel a larger donation is always appreciated. Great Park, take a stroll on the Pier or play in the sand on the beach.

Such a lovely surprise near the lakeside beach — a fun little activity for kids! Our kids had a blast. It’s just 5 cents per child, and you can donate whatever you feel like. Such a sweet gesture for the community! 🌞💛

Date of visit: June 28, 2025 A Magical Ride Through Time in Port Dalhousie Step into a piece of living history at the Lakeside Park Carousel, a beautifully restored LOOF treasure that’s been delighting visitors for generations. For just 5 cents a ride, you can hop aboard one of the hand-carved wooden animals and enjoy the charm of this century-old masterpiece. The craftsmanship is stunning, the setting by the lake is picturesque, and the ride is pure joy—whether you’re five or fifty. It’s a popular spot, but don’t worry: lines move quickly thanks to the efficient and friendly staff. A must-visit for families, history lovers, and anyone who appreciates a little old-fashioned magic.

Timeless treasure in the Niagara Region. Many beloved childhood memories here and I am delighted to return as an adult. Everyone can enjoy a piece of history with the Lakeside Park Carousel – and please consider donating so it can be enjoyed by future generations 🩷

The carousel is right by the beach, surrounded by trees and picnic areas, so it’s easy to make a whole family outing of it. The music and hand-carved horses give it a nostalgic feel, and it’s always well maintained thanks to the city and volunteers. Parking is available nearby, and washrooms are close by in the park. It’s busiest on sunny weekends, but the line moves quickly. Whether you’re visiting with kids or just want a bit of old-fashioned fun, this is a must-see stop in Port Dalhousie — timeless, affordable, and full of heart.

This carrousel I believe is the oldest one in the country. It is iconic and a wonderful piece of history still cost only a nickel and it’s situated at Lakeside Park the popular Rush song it talks about Lakeside Park, beautiful beach, and park and a lot of amenities around there from dining to exploring solid five out of five in Port falhousie would highly recommend once you’re finished navigating around the park you can walk the pier to have a great vantage point of some of the best sunsets around. Great place to visit whether you are a local or a tourist.!

Had an amazing time at 13th Street Winery! The wine tasting tour was informative and fun — every pour was unique and full of character. The atmosphere was relaxed with great vibes all around and live music. I had the chicken parm burger and truffle fries, and both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area or passing by, as it’s the perfect mix of great food, great wine, and great energy!

I have aged many of their wines and always a win. I live in Louisiana and luckily pass through at least once a year. Recently pulled out a few Chardonnays from 2017 (first visit) and had a few friends over and it was quite the evening. I love the atmosphere, the food, the art, well and the wine. Just come enjoy ya self. Made another visit, the updated outdoor eating area is great with a little music.

We hosted our micro-wedding here and it was a great experience from start to finish! The events team (Corinne and Jill) were very helpful and always answered our questions promptly. The event ran very smoothly and all of our guests were so pleased with the atmosphere, food and of course, the wine! A big thank you to Jill and Courtney, who took care of us that evening. We have visited a few times just to enjoy lunch or a glass of wine and all of the staff are always so kind and knowledgeable. The property is beautiful, food is always very tasty and the bakery has lots of great offerings too. The butter tarts are definitely top notch and we even gave them out as favours for our wedding. We look forward to visiting again soon!

What an incredible experience at 13th Estate Winery! Our recent visit was nothing short of spectacular, and I can't wait to share all the highlights. We began our day with a delightful wine tasting that included a fantastic selection of white wines, red wines, and their renowned ice wine. Each wine was expertly crafted, showcasing the unique characteristics of the estate. The white wines were crisp and refreshing, perfect for warm days, while the reds were rich and full-bodied, offering depth and complexity. The ice wine was the star of the show—sweet, luscious, and bursting with flavors that lingered beautifully on the palate. It was truly a memorable tasting experience! The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing insights into each wine and the winemaking process. Their passion for what they do really shone through and made our tasting even more enjoyable. After the tasting, we visited their food shop, which was a delightful surprise. The selection of gourmet treats and local products perfectly complemented the wines we had tasted. We indulged in some delicious cheese and charcuterie, and we even picked up a few items to take home.

Fantastic winery in Ontario’s Vineland. The wine is very good, an abundance of tables to sit and eat. The charcuterie board was very big! The pizzas were different and delicious. A wonderful way to spend a day, wine tasting and eating! The butter tarts here are phenomenal!! Definitely buy some if visiting.

Beautiful grounds, art, bakery, eatery, and tastings. Butter tarts so good. Friendly atmosphere. Weekend music. Top rated in Ontario for its wine

Absolutely love 13th Street Winery! The atmosphere is so warm and welcoming — a perfect mix of rustic charm and modern elegance. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, making the tasting experience fun and relaxed rather than rushed. Their wines are fantastic (especially the sparkling and rosé), and the butter tarts are honestly some of the best in Niagara. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area!

Easy to medium challenging tracks, neat stuff to discover, but really no chance of getting lost. Great any time of the year! Trail running, the best of hiking and running! Mixed terrain, alternate side trails and with access to the Bruce Trail, this conservation area will not disappoint. Add more kilometers when you park outside the gates and walk/run an extra 2 km (return). If you prefer running on these rugged, swampy, and gritty trails to the cool, scenic colors, you'll want to run on these trails! The trails are hilly, rocky and narrow with options to take further wider footpaths on the main trails. Family friendly depending on choice of trails, however, not stroller or mobility aid friendly. Bring water and be prepared for "natural on site facilities". Alternately drive to the entrance but very narrow with muddy roads and be watchful for pedestrians. It is very refreshing from the 'magic' conservation areas and instead take in the rugged beauty of the cliffs. Find Laura Secord's trail and imagine what it must have been like when you walked 30 kilometers in the War of 1812 to warn James Fitzgibbon that Americans

This one’s a bit tricky to rate. If you’re after a quiet trail that’s easy to navigate and great for kids or beginner hikers, it’s a solid 5/5. For more seasoned hikers, it’s more of a pleasant forest stroll — mostly flat with minimal elevation, but still enjoyable. The trails are well-marked and well-maintained. Parking is limited, though it’s usually not too busy outside of long weekends. Keep an eye out for coyotes — I’ve spotted them even during the day. It’s also conveniently close to the Niagara Outlets and White Oaks Spa, making it a nice addition to a day trip in the area.

Refreshing! The air felt so clean and fresh from all the surrounding trees. The trails are somewhat bumpy. Interesting rock formations along the paths. Nature is a sight for soar eyes. It's so revitalizing!

Very nice trail along the Niagara escarpment, it could do with some better trail maps at the site as the loop is not clear where the Bruce trail diverges

This is a great 2.5km trail loop to explore and enjoy nature! The hills aren't too bad and the terrain isn't too rough so it's perfect for casual trail walkers and runners of all kinds! A lot of wild life and pretty flowers to brighten your day as well! You will LOVE it here!

Beautiful hike for autumn. Can make it as long or short as you want since there is quite a few paths you can take.

A nice forest conservation area that's a short 3-min drive from the Outlet Collection at Niagara and from White Oaks Conference Resort and Spa. Parking on site is free and is mostly parallel parking on both sides of street/lot. There are a few trails to choose from and there's lots to see. Different elevations so be prepared for a lower and upper level hike as you're next to the escarpment. The views are amazing and the trail we took was a loop so there wasn't a need to double back.

This is a 30 min drive from Hamilton and such an amazing place for a day at the beach. Parking was $3 an hour with a 3 hour limit. Arrived just after 11 am and Beach patrons were spacious families and umbreallas in full swing. By 12.45 it becomes even busier. Has showers outside the wall behind a snack shack which is fully equipped, firs $7 and ice cream $7. Beautiful sand and water and can easily walk out a km before dept is 5'4 and I can no longer stand.

Been vacationing in NOTL for 8 years buy just discovered this beautiful, relaxing beach last year. Now it’s a must do when we visit. Gorgeous views. Clear water. No waves so very gentle for wading into the lake. Plus clean restrooms and changing area.

Unfortunately the city of St. Catharines absolutely does not do any of the jobs it is supposed to, especially on the beautiful beaches it has. I live near by, and love to come in the afternoon with my kid and family, but this summer was the summer of nobody absolutely respecting other people around. Loud speakers blasting music, trash all around, dogs poop on the beach, jet-skis driving recklessly in the shallow waters, on so on… are the officials trying to run the city to the ground? Feels like it is on purpose?

The fireworks display on July first had some great moment. With the band playing as the sun set everyone was enjoying the beach. The traffic was terrific, as the song says, but the great sense of community in the little town of Port Dalhousie makes it much less frustrating than it could be. A very enjoyable evening.

A great place for family and summer fun but parking isn't great. 5 star beach (for Ontario) 3 star parking on a holiday Great beach with purposeful places to connect, unwind and take a load off. The peaceful scenery, water is clean and swimmable. We brought our bbq but they had a Pavillion where you could find seats and enjoy a meal together. - The ice cream was also quite good. - Washrooms are available and washing stations. PARKING $9 per 3 hours (when this is being written) - whoever decided a family would only want 3 hours to spend on the beach including parking, setting up, having the time and going back to the car - has never been to a busy beach. - it is needlessly expensive and really difficult to find parking Suggestions for the city: - make it 4 hours - have a full day parking option for $15 - provide recommendations for alternate spaces to park - have holiday alternatives.

Visited Lakeside Park Beach recently—it was quite crowded, but we still had a great time. The sunset was absolutely beautiful and made it all worth it. Such a peaceful way to end the day! One downside: we couldn’t recharge the parking ticket, which was a bit frustrating. And the 403 traffic getting there and back was pretty rough. Tip: Bring your own food, a mat, and some games or sports equipment to really enjoy your time. It’s a lovely spot for a picnic or just relaxing by the water. Overall, a nice place for a relaxing evening—just try to visit during off-peak hours and be prepared with parking!

Beautiful, clean beach. Water is shallow making it a great beach for kids. No life guard on duty. Parking lot gets full so arrive early. Parking is for 2 hour lots only. There is a convinience store with food and drinks. Family friendly restrooms and men and womens restrooms that are always clean.

During Easter weekend, April 2025, the family and I made our first quest to St Catharine's. After a 2-hour+ drive, we arrived on the Good Friday, taking time to wander around the Port Dalhousie (pronounced "Dal-oo-see", not "Dal-how-see", by the way) before checking into our motel. We were part of a modest crowd who walked along both the West and East Piers. The small number of visitors could, at least in part, be explained by the vast amounts of midges who swarmed piers, pets, and people alike with their clouds of Spring mating madness. Although the piers are technically accessible, it would be brilliant to provide more seating options for those visiting. Particularly, it would help those who rely on mobility aids – such as walkers/canes – the opportunity to rest walking between the Rear and Front Lighthouses.

Cute little walk down to the water. I loved the light house and seeing people fish. I can imagine how the sunset looks here, but we just made a quick stop. Wish we could've stayed longer and listened to the water lapping at the rocks. You can't go into this lighthouse, and there are actually two really close to each other.

Perfect place to have a evening walk on a sunny day. If you have pets then this place is absolutely a best place to take them to walk as well. Sunset is one of the best sight worth watching. This place is clean and you will have a better experience.

Beautiful pier with two lighthouses and a light tower. Park is well kept. Lots of seagulls and boats to watch. We brought food and sat on one of the many benches on the pier. Would visit again.

Great place for anyone wanting to visit a quiet place. Good walks and great open views

When we were planning out our day of what wineries and sites we wanted to visit, we saw that this was close by so we decided to stop. We weren't sure what to expect. There isn't a whole lot to do there, but we really enjoyed our time. It is a pleasant walk down to the end where the lighthouse is. The weather was perfect and the scenery was gorgeous! Many sailboats were out on the lake and ducks and geese are in the water along the rocks. A great relaxing way to start a day. Picture perfect!

Port Dalhousie was the Lake Ontario terminal for the Welland Canal from its inception in 1829 until 1932, when the canal's entrance was relocated to Port Weller, some four kilometers to the east. A fixed red light was shown from the lighthouse's framework until the tower, which cost $2,943.19, was constructed and operational. On June 1, 1902, the range lights were electrified, and the inner light's color changed from fixed red to occulting white. The discontinued inner lighthouse was designated a Recognized Federal Heritage Building in 1990, and in 1997 it was transferred to the City of St. Catharines. The lighthouse was restored between 2000 and 2002. Note the "beaver" weathervane atop the lighthouse. Also, it is one of just six wooden octagonal lighthouses remaining on the Canadian side of the Great Lakes. The others are Port Burwell on Lake Erie, Western Islands and Lonely Island on Lake Huron, and Slate Islands and Otter Island on Lake Superior.

I love this beach. It’s never too crowded. Not as crowded as the equally awesome Port Dalhousie Beach in St Catherine’s. Fairly easy parking, either at the beach or on the road leading up to it (street parking). Washroom facilities on site. Watch the sun sink into the lake.

I was in the area so I stopped in with my daughter to check it out. Upon arrival it looked like there was security. We went very early in the day so there was lots of parking. My first thoughts were that there is a water treatment plant right beside it so that ruined the vibes. The beach it self was not that clean l. I thought they would have gone a cross it and fluffed up the sand for a Sunday morning. We did walk around the area and there is a basic playground and swings. There is a beautiful area with lots of shade for walking. The washrooms were clean but the water in the lake looked sketchy. I prefer our go to which is port Dalhousie.

Sunset Beach is a great spot for a relaxed day by the water. The sandy shoreline is spacious enough for families, couples, and solo visitors to spread out, and the view of Lake Ontario is especially beautiful during the evening when the sun sets over the horizon. The water is generally calm, making it a nice place for swimming or just wading in on a hot summer day. The park area has picnic tables, shaded spots, and walking paths, so you can make a whole afternoon out of your visit. While it can get busy on weekends, the atmosphere stays friendly and laid-back. A little extra upkeep in the washroom facilities would make the experience even better, but overall, it’s a lovely place to unwind and take in some gorgeous lake views.

The beach is nice but the water was not very clean and had lots of weeds! It was at it’s full capacity when we visited in a Sunday evening.

We went here on Canada Day and spent the entire evening on the beach. It was beautiful, tons of sandy beach space, not crowded at all, we watched people setting off fireworks after the sun went down. It was perfect. I will be returning soon.

Excellent place for a nice sunset view. The water was warm, the sand was clean, there is payed parking $3/h or you can park on the streets around and walk 5min. Shallow water. Great for kids.

The reason I gave it 3 stars is that the water quality warning for this beach really sucks. The beach itself is nice, good washroom and change room facilities. The parking is $3 per hour and enough space available. One drawback is the water treatment plant on site which most of the time smells awful so try to get as far away from it on the beach. I checked the safety of the water on August 15 and it showed last checked August 11 being ok which is unacceptable since the update for August 15( not safe) showed up today August 16th! I went into unsafe waters with family and children on August 15th! This is irresponsible behaviour by the town! You have to do better!!!!🤯

Had a great hike at Short Hills today. No ticks in late May but I still did wear spray and long sleeves just in case. Conditions were good - horses chewed up some of the trail likely after all the rain we have had but it’s manageable and only one spot on the Swayze Loop. Swayze Falls was dry, but the Terrace Creek falls had some water going. Super quiet and a great morning.

There is a decent amount of free parking with additional parking on the road. There is a bathroom in the one parking lot it seems to be open year round. They have alot of hiking trails there, you could hike for 20k and not see the same trail twice. Swayze falls is very beautiful, but does dry up quite a bit in the summer. You can walk up the creek and see the falls from down below with is really nice. Makes a perfect place for a picnic. Trail can get quite muddy, but lots of fun.

My favourite local hiking spot. If you deviate from the main trail you can find yourself exploring some really cool areas. Hikes can last from 1 hour to several depending on where you decide to go. I love coming here every summer for my cardio. I highly recommend wearing long pants and long sleeved apparel aswell as hiking boots if you veer away from the main trail as ticks are quite prevalent. It can also get fairly muddy after a rainfall. Have fun! And always check yourself afterwards! Happy hiking!

After hearing from multiple friends who enjoy hiking that Short Hills Provincial Park is the best place to go, I finally decided to visit last year. Unfortunately, Apple Maps led us to the middle of a road. After driving around for a while, we gave up and went to a familiar spot instead. Determined to try again, we revisited Short Hills last week. When the same thing happened, I checked Google Maps and quickly realized the issue: I hadn’t entered the correct parking lot. Once I entered ‘Parking Lot A’ into my device, we arrived without any trouble. Despite the initial setbacks, I am extremely disappointed with all the potential hikes I missed out on over the past year. Short Hills is undoubtedly the best place for avid hikers in the area, not crowded with tourists like some other popular hiking spots. With an abundance of trails, you can use the AllTrails app to decide the distance and route of your hike (follow me on AllTrails, Scooter Nagy). I highly recommend giving Short Hills Provincial Park a visit; you won’t be disappointed by the beautiful trails and serene environment.

Started coming here years ago to tackle all 7 trails. completed. Now I am bring my grandkids here to do the same. love the views. different levels of difficulty in paths. Ive seen wild turkeys, skunks, hawks, deer among others. Can't wait to go back!

While hiking the Bruce Trail from end to end we inevitably came thru the park. We have liked it a lot. The meandering creek flowing at the base of the sweeping hills gave us such a pleasant feeling. We didn't explore the other trails that are in the park, but we have put this place on our bucket list. The waterfalls were amazing as well. We only saw the Terrace Creek and the Swayze. Amazing sights, for sure

I’ve come to this park over ten times now and every time I leave amazed. The trails take you through various ecosystems; a hardwood grove ( black walnut trail), wildflower fields (scarlet tanager) waterfalls, thick pine forests ( hemlock valley). There are levels of difficulty for all to enjoy! I’ve always parked up by Pelham road and walked down the steep gravel path before merging onto other trails, but recently I broke with tradition and tried Wiley road. What a gem! Please try it. Scarlet tanager to hemlock was my favourite section this time of year because of the bustling wildflower fields. Teeming with butterflies and bees. In winter time or after great rains I’d say swayze loop because the falls are magical. Well worth the exhaustive 2 hours. Not this time of year, though. The drought effects everything.

Great service and helpful advice from the staff here. If they don’t have it in stock they can easily order it in quickly for you

This was a welcome stop after travelling through the Welland Canal from Port Colborne. We were lucky that there was one large slip available for us across from the fuel dock. We entered just as daylight was fading and we're aware of the skinny water in the area. Luckily with this year's high water we had no problem with our 6 ft draft. We made our way to the slip and spent only one night as we were travelling on to Bath. The facilities were clean and secure with great showers. The small chandlery in the marina had what looked like anything you needed for boating. It was open early and looked after our fee for the night's accommodation. We were underway before we had a chance to meet any of the facility staff but it was a nice stay.

I was geated very well , Chris helped me with my parts order , knowledgable and friendly , was a very Good experience

Incredibly knowledgeable and helpful. Great, guys, and funny. Beautiful looking marina.

A nice 5k hike out to the lighthouse on easy trails with many birds to see.

A great place to put your boat in the water, Great service and always answers the phone that very important for me, Very clean and quiet, friendly

Awsome experience Salman fishing trip with Niagara Assaiouns charters Captain was very helpful and knowledgeable and super friendly Cheers.

Great place to walk. I brought my dog. Bring water for your dog, I didn’t see any access to the lake. I love the boardwalk. A beautiful view of the water and long enough walk which leads into open area with play area for kids. Lots of huge trees to sit in the shade and take in the beauty, or have a picnic. Very peaceful park. Very well kept and clean.

My walk this morning started with a breakfast at the Captains Cabin Cafe. Following the path from Rennie Park across the bridge to a royal Henley park and finally concluded at Jaycees Park. Certain plaque also mentioned the pond as Martindale pond. If you are St Catharines resident try to get here once in the summer.

Wonderful local park that we did a Niagara Segway tour through. There are several very different statues and memorials. The area has a long and strong competitive rowing history that is well represented. One area seems very unknown or mystery maybe less publicly visited, the Hiroshima Memorial - "May PEACE prevail on Earth". It is an unobtrusive art piece that should be visited and the reasons it is there reflected upon. Rennie Park should be visited for the open air and well kept landscape, but don't forget to stop at the memorial.

Great little spot to walk around and enjoy some Christmas displays of lights. They could have gotten a bit more creative with the window displays (ie: the candy store and movie theatre). Parking was available.

My senior parents and I love to grab a coffee and come sit in the park. It's very peaceful. Lots of Canada Geese or Honkers as my Mom calls them hang out here. We feed the squirrels and birds. We say hello to all the dogs and their owners

Went for a walk to re-visit the henley rowing coarse my daughter raced on back in high school. Nice place to walk with trails and bridge going over the pond.

Amazing time at Let It Glow! We live out of town but it was worth the drive to visit the beautiful displays of both lights and holiday themed statues. Many photo opportunities, which was super fun.

Very scenic, lots of goose poo . Attended a regatta there as a spectator. There's a restaurant, not sure if they were open just for the event. Did not try the food.

The Henley Island Helpers ( all volunters) offer a fabulous breakfast on Sat n Sun on their outside waterside patio. A great place to start your weekend.

Cool venue to hold a rowing competition. I didn't know what to expect. Hung out at the Shell House, had a hot dog, washrooms were clean. Volunteers were friendly.

Went here for CSSRA, and the water was lovely to say the least. I adore the poles they have set up for the meter marks since it is so much easier to read than just having buoys set up. I also love the vibe the course has going on; it just feels so put together if you know what I mean. 😁

There's no signage above the lanes. The course runs on an angle so it's hard to determine what Lane you're in. And at this point in time there are tons of weeds. So it's hard for coach boats to get around as well as oarsmen because your ores get caught in the weeds.

Amazing national rowing course in Port Dalhousie, Ontario, Canada with all the surrounding characteristics to see.

Super gorgeous, great venu for festivals.

Konzelmann Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake is a picturesque retreat set amid sprawling vineyards, offering a serene and beautiful setting. The vintage-style building is stunning, both inside and out, exuding classic charm that enhances the overall experience. The wine is truly divine—rich, flavorful, and well-crafted. The tasting session was enjoyable, allowing us to savor some excellent selections. However, the experience was slightly marred when our assigned staff member left mid-tasting for their break, leaving us momentarily unattended. For a paid experience, better coordination would have been ideal. Despite this hiccup, Konzelmann Winery remains a lovely spot for wine lovers. Just be aware that while the vineyard views are gorgeous, there’s no access to walk among the vines. Still, a great visit overall.

I felt bad for underestimating this winery. You don’t usually see many varieties of red wine from Konzelmann at the LCBO, but their selection here truly impressed me. All the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our guide, Gabriella, was amazing — she knew so much about wine, had a great sense of humor, and even took beautiful photos of us. Thank you! I can’t wait to try the Malbec barrel-aged red — such a unique and complex taste, like a rainbow of flavors! It has so much more with a sip! Absolutely amazing experience.

Konzelmann Winery in Niagara on the Lake is absolutely beautiful! The view from the upstairs area is impressive. You can see the vineyards and the lake, making it the perfect spot to relax and take it all in. Their peach wine slushies are also amazing! Refreshing, fun, and perfect for a warm day. Cute little backyard area to sit. It's definitely worth a visit!

Nice winery on the lake, with multiple different tasting areas and experiences. Though you can see the lake...the building and seating areas are not on the water. The wine was great and the tasting hosts were entertaining. When we went on a fall weekend, it was quite busy and we had to wait a bit to get a spot for tasting. Best to book ahead if you can. Definitely worth a stop.

We did a tour and tasting. The view from the winery is beautiful. We could see the lake. Tour was okay. She was okay. I felt it’s rushed. It’s a crowded place. So many people were there come and go. We wanted to try other wine too but the staff was too busy to deal with us. Peach wine was tasty. We bought one. Konzelmann is good for the experience and short stop to sample.

What a great tasting, with the joyful Donna as our master tastery-teacher! She told so much that I have forgotten what to remember. What I do remember is why we visited: icewine! Absolutely great taste, not to winey, but more the liquor I wanted and expected. And the view from the Winery to Toronto: priceless! Konzelmann and Donna won me over. But also the other staff members. Lovely place and a joy also for non-drinkers like me!

We had an amazing time at Konzelmann Estate Winery! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Each wine we tasted had distinct, delicious flavors – it was clear how much care goes into their winemaking. We enjoyed every moment of the tasting experience and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake!

Fantastic pizza, delicous cold drinks..... From the second we came here we were greeted by the friendliest staff. Food service was super fast and the food was delicious. ( smoked meat pizza ) is my recommendation. It was perfect ❤ After a great lunch we all did a tour of the distillery..... A huge shout-out to LIAM! ( our tour guide ) what an amazing character, funny and extremely knowledgeable. Made the tour and the end of the afternoon so much fun. The tour was great, tried some delicious drinks and came out of there buying a bottle of the vanilla liqueur and a bottle of #99 whisky sour . Amazing place to spend a whole day eating, drinking and laughing. Can't wait to come back! Thank you Wayne Gretzky Estates! Wonderful memories have been made here.

We visited Wayne Gretzky Estates for a tasting in the Club Room and had such a great time. Our server, Lisa, was fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and really made the experience feel special. The tasting itself was excellent, and to top it off we ended with a round of cocktails. The highlight was a fun little murder mystery game that actually earned us a free cocktail for our next visit. Such a unique and memorable touch! Can’t wait to come back.

Wayne Gretzky Estates Niagara-on-the-Lake is unlike any winery I’ve ever been to! The atmosphere was so relaxed and genuinely family-friendly, which is something I’ve never experienced on a wine tour before. It almost felt like a big park in the back, where adults could sip wine and cocktails while kids played and enjoyed the space. The shop was really cool, filled with classic hockey photos and Gretzky memorabilia. I loved the casual, upbeat vibe of the whole place. There’s also a restaurant on-site, which I didn’t get a chance to try this time, but it looked great. I heard there’s even a skating rink in the winter, which sounds amazing! Overall, it was alive, happening, and just a fun place to be, especially for families.

Fun tour to do while in niagara on the lake. The tasting was enjoyable trying red and white wine along with their famous whiskey and whiskey cream. Delicious! They also provided a discount on bottles at the shop after completion of the tour. The restaurant was also pretty good just wish it had abit more shade.

We have come many times and has almost become a tradition to stop here at Wayne Gretzky's to pay homage to the great one and to stock up some of his wines. Today we did a tasting and really liked the ice wine and whiskey . The beauty of doing a taste and gives you a discount at the store!

Canadian wine isn't really my thing, but I enjoyed a pleasant enough visit to Wayne Gretzky Estate winery on a recent trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake. The wine is downright bad (I am sorry to say this, but I would call it completely undrinkable), but the grounds and setting of the winery is top notch. Wayne knows what the people want, and he delivers - just not in the category of tasty wine. The winery itself is modern and welcoming. As a hockey fan, I especially appreciated all of the memorabilia of Wayne's record-breaking days as a professional athlete in the NHL. Take some time to browse so you can see it all. Also, be sure to check out the well-curated gift shop, which features some cute hockey and wine themed merchandise. We arrived in the evening without a reservation, and luckily the hostess said she could find a space for us. The tasting room was very busy, but we had a high top table for two. I noticed the clientele was mostly female / groups of women who looked like those "see and be seen" type of ladies, all decked out in designer shoes and handbags with perfect makeup and hair. This is a great place for a girls' night out, with its welcoming yet chic atmosphere. We opted for two different tastings from the menu so we could have a nice variety of wines. We chose a range from white, reds, and dessert wines, and there was absolutely nothing to our liking. We were also hungry and I was delighted they had a modest food menu (we ordered the warm baguette with whipped maple whisky butter for $10) which was tasty enough, if not Earth shattering). The tasting itself was just okay. The service was prompt and our knowledgeable hostess answered all of our questions (but wasn't much on small talk). The major problem I had is that she was doused in stinky perfume. This is a huge no-no at a winery, and whenever she came by to check on us or to deliver something to a nearby table, all I could smell was her perfume. It's not that it smelled rank or anything, but it really did interfere with the taste of the wine. The wines were very low quality, and I couldn't bring myself to take more than two tastes of each one. I guess if I had to drink something it would be the dessert wine, which was creamy yet the overpowering maple is definitely an acquired taste. Note that tastings are pricey and bottles are as well. There's a separate bar for tasting spirits and a stunning outdoor patio area if you want to come and hang a while. I'd definitely return here for the grounds and setting alone, but I'm going to pass on the wine.

Wonderful experience! Loved learning about hockey history and doing the wine tasting, everything was excellent. Great atmosphere and friendly staff - highly recommend.

We just had our wedding here 11.08.2025, this was the best experience, the staff here are phenomenal, we worked directly with David Martin and the guy is a gem. He was so welcoming and very personable. He was always easy to communicate with via text anytime we had questions or wanted to drop in for a visit. He is truly just a nice genuine person I highly recommend working with him. We had toured the venue originally back in June and by the time i hit the parking lot i knew we had found our wedding venue. I found Rockway through wedding wire and im very thankful I did. The reception room is stunning with the wood accents and the wrap around windows it is a gorgeous view of the property, we had an outdoor ceremony and it was a perfect fall day. Thank you to David and the rockway staff that we worked with on our wedding you guys did a fantastic job!! And that cheese tortellini needs to be on the everyday menu because damn that dish is good haha!

Friendly attentive staff with exceptional wines and food. Will come back many times to enjoy the intricate murals. Great natural light from the many windows and picturesque views of the golf course. A definite must try for any event.

That was the only open winery with a working kitchen I and my 3 girlfriends were able to find after long hike at Bruce trail on Sunday, and we had a lovely time! golfers were focused on the golf course, we enjoyed wine tasting!

First time I've played this course and it wasn't too bad. I love the grass here, fairways are mint. No complaints at all about the grass and grounds crew - great job!! One thing I definitely did not like and it will keep me from returning is the darn BIRD BANGERS!! You cannot get 60SECONDS straight without hearing a 12 gauge go off in the next field. Very un-relaxing while trying to golf. Not sure if it is a season but that was the worst I have ever heard those things go off and next to a golf course is beyond distracting. Great course and Great grass!! Just super loud the whole time playing. 4Stars.

The layout of the course is pretty good and it's still in pretty good shape. Some of the greens were slower than others but all in all they were in decent shape for this time of year. They were a little top dressed but not aerated which was nice as a lot of courses are doing both this time of year. I would definitely recommend it as well worth your while to put on your courses to play list.

We came for the Niagara Ice Wine Festival and got a wonderful traditional ice wine and a full duck confit and brie sandwich that was so tasty. Beautiful open room and 360 views of the golf course.

We came for the Ice Wine festival in 2022 and it was an amazing experience! Possibly because it was a Friday only 15 minutes after they opened, but everything was super smooth, everyone was amazingly helpful and the food and wine simply divine. We also booked a firepit ahead of time and ordered a meat platter (comes with everything in the picture plus some wine which we took inside at their tasting bar) which was cozy and delicious! Their winter menu was also quite intriguing and we came back on the Sunday for lunch, unfortunately due to the high winds that day, it knocked the power out right as we were about to order. Kind of bummed but not their fault at all. They gave us a voucher for a tasting experience the next time we visit, which was so nice of them! Hopefully the bison burger is still on the menu the next time we make the trip here, because we'll definitely be back. Annoyingly, Google won't let me edit one of the photos which is rotated 90 degrees. But definitely a great place to get introduced to the wine experience in the area!

I recently visited Lester B. Pearson Park in St. Catharines with my toddler, and we had an absolutely wonderful time! The play area is fantastic—perfectly designed for young children, with plenty of opportunities for both fun and learning. My toddler was especially fascinated by the educational elements woven into the play structures, which added an extra layer of engagement. The map play area was a hit, offering a unique and interactive way for little ones to explore. The splash pad was truly the icing on the cake! It was a hot day, and my toddler had the best time cooling off and playing in the water. The park was clean, well-maintained, and had a friendly atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for families. If you're visiting St. Catharines with young children, I highly recommend spending some time at Lester B. Pearson Park—it's a gem!

Large park with many grounds. Great for walks and sports. Tennis court, soccer field. Old trees make it worth the visit. Tennis and picker ball courts have lights come on at night. There are some players competing for their turn on the court sometimes.

If you truly want to have fun in life the park is where it's at. You may have to wait for the swing in the day time but you don't at night. There's places to chill alone and even climb trees with a friend there's enough space for dogs to go pee and kids to run free...

A very nice park. I went here for many school events and I never have any complaints. Not only does this park have a playground and a splash pad, it has a lot of open space for sports as well. There are two large soccer fields as well as benches and many open shaded areas.

THE PARK HAS A LOT OF SPACE, PARKING LOT AND IS WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEAN. NICE PLACE TO GO FOR A WALK, TAKE KIDS AND DOG FOR FUN. I RECOMEND IT TO EVERYONE.

Great place to spend the day with the family. Big playgrounds; clean; splash pad; picnic tables; soccer fields; tennis courts; and a quiet grassy/ wooded area for walk with the pups. (Dogs should be on a leash. Always.) Has a gorgeous sunset in the fall. Lots of space for activities.

This is a nice local park. My son enjoyed the splash pad and playground. It is fairly busy and seems like a good place to take your kids for an hour or so.

What a gem! This creative art gallery is hidden just off of Third Street. Just a stones throw from the falls. Look for the colorful crosswalk! Giving artists their individual mural space is fun and expressive. We loved the various designs.

Pretty small but cool. A variety of style So something for everyone. I saw other street art around this area.

Pretty easy to miss if you're not sure what you're looking for. Easy to get to and street parking is plently available. Many of the pieces are bright and vibrant. There aren't that many works but it is worth a walkthrough if you're visiting the Falls considering how quickly you can go through it.

This is a very cool walkway between 2 Indian restaurants. String lights, brick sidewalk and lots of art! If you like to take photos for Instagram this is the spot for you!

Great art! Someone took a poo on the wall. :( Not great when you have a toddler. Luckily dad saw it first so pootastrophy was avoided.

Awesome artwork! Definitely a place to see.

Located in the middle of New Delhi just a short walk from the rainbow Bridge

Must see! Docent was very knowledgeable and passionate about Harriet Tubman's legacy. ❤️

Harriet Tubman's home church in St Catherines, Ontario Canada. The congregation is small. The history is monumental. Original artifacts still on display. Support Salem Chapel BME.

Amazing black and Christian history right here in Ontario! While the part of town has clearly seen better days, the chapel is well maintained. Lots of signs explaining the history of the church, its role in the community, and the connection with Harriet Tubman. A pretty close walk to downtown St. Catharines, it's certainly worth the visit even if you don't make it inside.

This church was one of our stops on the Niagara Bound Tour with Lezlie Harper. A huge thank you to the church administrator for keeping the history of Harriet Tubman alive here!

Historical place. A must see. Original pews. Knowledgeable treasurer speaking about Harriet's journey

Wonderful experience learning about important history that is connected to Canada and America.

Great historical site...

Incredibly beautiful place, perfect for a picnic. Too bad they keep the washrooms locked during fall and winter.

Very scenic, quiet place. There is a large fielded area, tons of picnic tables, barbecue grills, a tennis court, park and tons of free parking. There were lots of trash cans in the area. Lots of trees and little accessible trails. There are washrooms as well as clean outhouses. There’s some vandalism on the outhouses and buildings.

Great mix of shade and sun. There's an abundant amoung of tables for picnicking, including several lined up for large groups. We use the charcoal BBQs all the time, just bring your own pumice, stone to clean it, and some charcoal, and you're good to go. The washrooms are surprisingly clean and don't smell to high heavens. If you're looking for a great place to hang out with the family for the day, this is it!! But, remember, this is a nature park, you need to make your own adventure and fun.

Tons of green space! Newly paved roads that will be great for rollerblading, lots of benches, picnic tables and shade. Playground is fairly large and located by a large parking lot. Didn't have a chance to go down the dip and up the hill to check out the dog park - next time. 😉

Nice trails. Lots of options to explore or take an easy walk. Very peaceful. There's a large playground structure for the kids as well to get some energy out.

It's a perfect place to unwind and have a picnic,very quiet and nice to be close to nature.I love coming here especially when everything is close there is no place to compare it with.It has biking trails and huge areas to walk and jog, its very close to my place....Its very nice to explore the area...it would be nice if there is water fountain and splash pad,it is worth visiting..

Great place to go train your dog. Get off the beaten path and head down the trails. The dog park is closed due to covid, but there dogs can still socialize out there. Also there's some fire pits and kids zone. So there's a lot to do if you bring your own fun!

Very convenient park to walk in for the neighbourhood and local schools. But stay on the path! Poison Ivy is spreading rapidly in the park. Many of the paths have it growing along the edge of the paths. They added a nice sitting area North East by the Canal to honor the family that looked after the Lighthouse.

The parking area is Free, nice BUT it is in a bad condition with lots of pot holes. The trails have a hike for all fitness levels/distances with something for all ages. Recently the maintenance seems to have vanished which may be a sign of the times. The bird life appears to have diminished which may just be my experience lately.

An absolutely gorgeous walk with spectacular trees and vines. Even some hidden treats like this beautiful Fairie home are pictured below.

Used to spend time there everyday now not too much but still love this place brings back memories memories back into the '70s and now it's lovely to see what they've done with it keep up the good work

A fun place to go for a walk with your dogs and family. Update - a great place to go if you want to see birds of all kinds.

Very neat trail we seen cool bird house people made , different sorts of kettles hanging on branches and a cool handmade hut definitely will go again.

Great stroller friendly place for a walk. Lots of forest and pond space for kids to explore. The other day we got to see snapping turtles hatching!

This is only a review of the discovery pass for the fall, specifically 2024. They used to give out actual tickets and I have no issues transitioning to digital if it works. But varies glitches meant issues redeeming selection was problematic. Lots of technical problems which meant emails to grape and wine and squadup which neither could correct in the moment since it was the weekend. It actually took 3 days before grape and wine responded, only after I sent a dm and a follow up email, so not good for tourists in town for a limited duration. While I appreciate the effort put into curating these offerings, I believe that the value does not align with the price. It comes to almost $11 a serving and comparing the food and wine served vs social media marketing , it is not the same, at all, expect much less and smaller. I would recommend spending the $62 towards a nice dinner or bottle of wine.

Hey you guys should step up your marketing by a lot. Had to search 20 minutes before finding a date for it. For whoever handles that, you guys should send them packing and get someone in there that does heavy social media

TD Taigate Event This years event did not even come close to being worth our time. We have been attending this event even prior to covid. This year we purchased all our tickets together, our group of 18, to get the group savings. We didn’t even wait for CAA discount like previous years because we look forward to this event & didn’t want it to be sold out. Previous years we were able to chat with the food & wine representatives and really get involved with the different wineries & restaurants. This year we didn’t even get to sample all the food because of long lineups Nola’s over 30 minutes & the others weren’t much different. Many thanks to the delicious hotdogs or we would’ve left hungry. Most of us were unable to sample pizza, icecream, Mac n cheese & to be honest don’t know what others closed before we were able to get to them. The best was waiting 30 minutes in line & get to counter to order & be told sorry we are out. Even the wine samples were 2 ounces instead of 4. Previous years they would let us sample different wines & then we walked away with 4 ounces. We were unable to celebrate as a group because of the lineups. The only plus was the entertainment. Great music & we were able to dance with our friends. To say we left dissatisfied & disappointed would be an accurate assessment of our evening. How many attendees in previous years? What was ratio attendees to vendors? How many attendees this year? What was ratio attendees to vendors?

Ahhh..the grape and wine... A festival for snobs put on by snobs so snobs can judge snobs. Hard pass

Being recent arrivals to the Garden City, this was our first Grape and Wine Festival, and it was quite the event. I had pictures of scattered booths with a variety of wineries selling glasses of wine and generally a quiet, reserved atmosphere. I was certainly surprised. It was a very upbeat vibe, with live music playing on a stage at the south end of the park, flanked by a combination of wineries, food booths, and a smattering of other fair, on either side. Some wineries were represented by their own booth, others in conveniently amalgamated booths. The West side was focused on NOTL, while the other side represented the Bench. Scattered in between were open booths that focused on specific varietals. There was a VIP booth, which we did not sample, and a nice cocktail bar set up in the Rosa Garden. The event was smoothly run, and well designed. My only suggestion would be a little more effective lighting at night, as it was sometimes difficult to navigate poorly lit areas. We will definitely return.

Much better this year without all the clutter and the cocktails in the garden was a nice touch this year as well as the vip mind you it's a bit to expensive and the rental only lasts for 2 hours which I think isn't worth it, $200 for the day is better with the perks of the 2 bottles of wine. Other wise not worth it and the pavilions needing tickets ahead of time. It's just a money grab for the top local restaurants from the park and recreational. They make money , but they make an extensive amount of money from us all regardless. Talk about greedy.. didn't like how there was no beer tent this year cause not everyone drinks wine. So they lost money this year and I don't appreciate security going through my purse or I can't come in that invasion of my privacy and that's illegal to refuse me to come in if you can't rummage through my purse. That's private and none of your business..

It was such a heartwarming festival! Loved itt

We had an amazing experience at Hernder. The woman serving us was so friendly and knowledgeable. The wines are delicious and a bargain for their quality. Being from Ottawa, we try and get to the Niagara region once a summer. Hernder Estate has now been added to our yearly stop list.

Last night TCG Niagara and the Kesh Group (local real estate brokerage and mortgage brokerage) hosted a meet & greet/ appreciation event at Hernder Estate Winery. Words cannot express how perfect the evening went. A huge thank you to Angel for everything that was done to make it perfect. The venue is beautiful, wine was excellent and service was incredible. The event had over 100 in attendance and feedback from all was extremely positive. Thank you again!

Wonderful service. The property is spectacular. The wine is beautiful. We had a tasting and bought a bottle of each one they were that good. Thank you again.

Was there for a wedding! Amazing food and staff!! Atmosphere was a winery experience! The main room was a little chilli, but nothing alcohol couldn’t fix!!

immaculate vibes, great service! definitely would recommend

Fantastic winery, the owner was so lovely and friendly. The wine tasting was amazing, so much so we bought some bottles to bring home, plus it’s dog friendly! We will be back!

Tasting room open and welcoming, like the staff. The wines luscious and beautiful, like the outdoor seating area. The attitude of the place hospitable, generous and down to earth, like the people and places you most enjoy. Bev served us complimentary samples with a down home twist and a twinkle of humour - then we enjoyed lunch brought from home with a bottle of their Reisling on their sun-splashed patio overlooking a covered bridge and vineyards as far as the eye can see. You can't get any better than that, period.

We had the fascinating opportunity to take a complimentary tour of the Knox Mansion, a historic landmark now serving as the offices for Celino attorneys (and easily researchable online for those interested in its rich history). Our guide was none other than Dr. Mike Celino himself, a veritable font of knowledge about the estate. Throughout the opulent rooms, we were treated to glimpses of the mansion's early 20th-century grandeur through carefully preserved photographs. While the grand staircase to the second floor was accessible, the elevator was regrettably out of order; however, the climb proved quite manageable. What truly stood out was the distinct wing dedicated to the servant's quarters. It was remarkable to learn that some of the married staff, complete with families, enjoyed their own private accommodations, in this instance, a separate dwelling nestled on the grounds. The tour ended, and we each received a book on the mansion. We had a great time and definitely recommend doing this.

Exceptional tour of Knox Mansion given by Dr. Michael Cellino. He was extremely knowledgeable of Buffalo history and architecture. One of the best tours I experienced and it was free of charge.

Michael was an excellent and knowledgeable tour guide, making it a fun and engaging way to spend a Sunday morning. Knox Mansion is a stunning property, rich in history, and remains a standout in Buffalo's architectural landscape. Whether you're a history buff or someone who appreciates classic architecture, it's definitely worth visiting. The Cellino family truly deserves all the praise for their incredible work in preserving this remarkable piece of American history. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

The mansion is absolutely breathtaking. Dr. Michael Cellini led a very informative tour through the mansion. He was able to answer all of our questions. It’s an absolute must see. You won’t be disappointed.

The Cellino family deserves all the praise for an amazing job they have done preserving this beautiful peace of American history. Michael is a great, very informative tour guide, it was a fun way to spend a Sunday morning. Knox Mansion is a beautiful, historically rich property that continues to be a highlight of Buffalo's architectural landscape. For history enthusiasts or anyone interested in the preservation of classic architecture, it’s definitely worth seeking out. Thank you for hosting us.

The Knox mansion is beautiful! I so enjoyed the stories shared by our guide, Dr. Michael Cellino. Thank you to the Cellino Law firm for sharing the house with us. And it's free!

Last week, my wife and I visited the Knox Mansion. Dr. Michael Cellino led us on a journey of the history of the families and the mansion that was inspiring. An amazing story that took us back in history that happened right here in Buffalo. Exceptional! Thank you to the Cellino family for their love of Buffalo's history.

A lot of homeless people and drug addicts here. Do not recommend! Feels super unsafe but beautiful though

Beautiful but feels a bit unsafe. Lot of homeless people around.

I live near this park. Actually, I moved here because of this park. I thought it was a nice park to walk and play. Not anymore. Our city allows homeless people to live in public parks , have generators to run and trash the entire park because they fail to remove them and deal with them! What a shame St Catharines!!

The 18 hole frisbee golf course is a lot of fun. Lots of the holes have hills, trees, water, etc that make them tricky and challenging. Very nice park and area overall. Happy we stopped by to play.

This park is nice, that said I was there yesterday to do a quick walk around and came up to a group of men shooting herion! I was scared for my safety but since I was half way around the park I needed to keep going. The feeling of not being safe isn't ok and God knows where those needles end up?! Plus all the garbage left around because if the homeless people living in tents. Something needs to be done.

Beautiful park! Nice disk golf coarse! Littered with homeless people along the entire park. You will see trash everywhere, tents everywhere, and don’t be surprised if you come across buckets that wreak (you know what it’s for). Mopeds, generators, and fires going will ruin your time. Just stay away until this place gets cleaned up.

I used to come here every night for running with the beautiful light of the fireflies, now the only light I see it's come from the drugs pipe of lots of people hanging out here. It's doesn't feel safe.

This hike was lovely. With all the early spring rains expect to need boots but I will definitely be back in the summer to experience it properly. Some absolutely beautiful views and even some flowers. Trail has some pretty steep sections and can definitely be a little challenging. Trekking poles would be recommended.

Visited Rockway Falls with a group of friends and my dog, Leonidas. The area is beautiful and peaceful, with lush green trails, moss-covered rocks, and a scenic little waterfall at the end. Definitely worth the trip once you’re on the right path. That said, it’s easy to take a wrong turn — we ended up on a flooded trail and had to backtrack through mud and water. The trails could use better signage, so I’d recommend checking a map before heading out. Also, we picked up a few ticks along the way, so wear long pants and check yourself (and your dog) after. Once we found the right trail, it turned into a really fun day. A bit of an adventure with a few unexpected hiccups, but a memorable hike overall. Great for dogs, but not super beginner-friendly if the trail’s been hit by rain recently. Would return — just with bug spray and a better sense of direction!

Moderate difficulty hike, bring your hiking shoes. I tried to connect with the Bruce Trail and lost the trail - great river landscape, lots of steep inclines to cover. Great trip - rainbows jumping the falls all day - April.6th/2025

Beautiful spot with amazing waterfalls. It wasn't too busy either which surprised me . We parked for free in the side parking lot this gives you a small hike in through a swampier field like area but once you get to the main trails it's worth it .

Rockway Conservation Area is a calm and tranquil hiking spot. You can hear the soothing murmur of the waterfalls as you walk. It would be best to visit during the spring when the water levels are high. I would recommend appropriate footwear since the paths get a bit rocky and uneven in between. Don't forget to carry a bottle of water if you are hiking on a bright, sunny day. This place is dog-friendly and amazing for kids.

came here with a friend. we only saw one person with a dog the whole time which was amazing as we don't like crowd. We saw some birds, a cat, and a raccoon. Tons of flowers. No ticket required, although parking is not free. We parked somewhere else and walked there.

The trail is moderate, so I’d definitely recommend wearing proper shoes (I even came across a couple of snakes while hiking). Parking was available and free.

The facility is a great place to bring your kids. Its clean, always maintained and have the best activities for the kids. My kids thoroughly enjoy their time. We come every week. The staff are super friendly and keep the place immaculate. Do come.

We had our son’s 10th birthday party here. Mia and Zara helped us with setting, decor and delivering food on time. They were prompt and very helpful. The front staff was very responsive and helpful aswell. Overall they made sure that we got everything we needed and that we were happy! All the kids had good time and loved the pizza they provided with the package. One of the kids even asked me where is the pizza from it tastes really good. Made my day! We are so happy with the team and the amenities were spot on. The place is very well maintained- it’s clean and tidy. They make announcements whenever you want the kids to come back to the room for cake cutting which is perfect. Would definitely be back!

Wow! I had been looking up the place online for a while because I wanted to take my nephew and niece there. Finally went today, September 20th, and the place looks even better in person. The front desk lady who attended to me was very kind and patient. Everything was clean. Washroom was sparkling clean. There was always an associate around to help and answer questions. Lots of varieties of games for toddlers. The place is generally safe for kids and toddlers. Thumbs up to the Playtopia team. 20 stars ⭐️

We had an amazing birthday experience here at Playtopia and have been coming here for years. Highly recommended, the kids love the activities, tons of things to do, and the staff are super friendly. Shout out to Ratu, Ariza and Kaynat for an amazing experience at my son’s birthday party. Definitely coming back for more!

it wasn’t badly priced individual wise, but the games are too expensive for being almost always losers. A lot of the electronic parts to start activities didnt work. but for the most part, I enjoyed it. They just need some touchups. And they are super friendly And clean

KaynatKaynat provided exceptional customer service throughout our stay. She was friendly, attentive, and always willing to help with anything we needed. Her professionalism and kindness truly made our experience better. Because of her great service, we will definitely be returning. Thank you, Kaynat!

The attendant Ratu at the reception is the first welcoming impression here for everyone. The area is clean, the staff is helpful, the attractions are enjoyable for children. A great place for arranging parties.

An interesting wild area along Mountain Lock (not in use). The bike trail is shaded and the other side was grass mown. Dogs should be on leash only. It's not far from Restaurants for a pint.

Welland Canals Advocates guided walk was enlightening. Details of historical points are easily overlooked without a guide. Very nice walk on variable texture pathways, including low lying watery grass. Some gentle rolling inclines, a bridge over rushing waters, lockmasters homes and historical plaques. Ticks are known to be present. Can you see the lock number inscribed on the wall? Check it out!

Bruce trail goes through mountain locks park and since it's a little known trail, it's beautiful and uncrowded

Definitely off the beaten track. So great to see this piece of history. I hope that one day they give it a bit more love and put up some signage - until then just look up the website. 😀

Very pretty area. I like to take my puppy for walks here. Its beautiful on any season but in the fall when all the leaves are turning colour is probably my favorite. Not alot of foot traffic here so it stays relatively clean and free of debris

Neat little hidden history gem of Niagara. Nice place to go for a walk!

Beautiful! On one side of the locks you have a beginner hilly terain, and on the other, a flat walking path. Was a very nice, short walk. I would absolutely do it again.

Yes, it’s an old building. However, it’s warm. You don’t have to worry about freezing. The seats are old & sit 2 at a time, but they’re quite comfortable & cosy if you’re not alone. There’s an elevator, if you don’t want to take he stairs. We attended Jr B hockey games. It doesn’t cost an arm & a leg to get in & the 50-50 draws are several hundred dollars. Far better than the new facility in Ancaster.

An arena filled with stories and memories. Iconic to the hockey community. Great ice surface that’s well maintained, clean seating area with good visibility to watch a game.

Great place as far as old barns go. Bad part of town to bring your kids with homeless shelter and various drug users hanging around. Had a lacrosse tournament and was embarrassed for the city of St. Catharines.

The former home of the Niagara Ice Dogs, with an ambiance similar to the old Boston Gardens, it is always a pleasure to sit in my old seasons ticket seats when watching my son's games.

A very nice facility, went to my very first hockey game there. I love the vintage style and fun to skate at

It's getting old, so it's a cold, dirty building. Showers are disgusting, and the hot water is laughable, but the ice is generally okay.

Wish they opened ladies washroom upstairs ... long walk when I want to watch the game at same time 😞 it's my grandsons home arena and I don't want to miss a second mms midgets 🏒🏒🏒

It's a nice enough park. Great for baseball and soccer as that occupies 80% of the land. Other 20% is mostly parking lot with very small areas to frolic and play and walk your dig or play pokemon bcs they lock it up like fort knocks if there's no soccer or baseball game why not let the general public walk the rest of the park when not in use

Good place to take your dog for ball games. Quiet, clean and spacious. I always go there. 👌👌

Reason for 3 stars is big mistake getting rid of the pool. Central St. Catharines needs a outdoor pool

Baseball, soccer and a nice spot to walk around with your pet

Nice place to walk. Lots of sports in the summer.

We go when they host softball games as my daughter plays. The park is always clean and well groomed. Diamonds are in great shape. I haven't used the bathrooms there in years but they're better han the port a pottys they had many moons ago.

Decent park for baseball.

Good place to watch ships going up and down the Welland Canal.

Clean park right along the canal. Good starting point for a walk, ride or roller blade along the water. Basic bike repair tools right by the bridge

The start of the Welland Canal path that goes all the way to Port Colborne. It's a fantastic trail. We did the entire path. 80km there and back!! It was a great bike ride.

Cute quite little environment to relax and read a book also a great place to take the kids to watch the boats or take pictures 📸

Good view for very big ships.here big ship enters from high water level in 30 feet low water level,excellent view point for all.

Lots of space for the kids to run around and see the boats, and the walking path is well maintained and good for all ages.

One of the closest points you can get to the boats traveling up and down the Welland Canal. Located just south of Lock 1, it's a narrow strip of grassy park with a winding path for bicycles and pedestrians. This path, which starts here, is part of the Welland Canals Trail system, stretching 45km all the way to Port Colborne on Lake Erie. There is a bit of shade and some benches, but it's otherwise small and not really equipped with other amenities that you might find in other nearby parks. Parking is generally available, and if you happen to be stuck waiting for the lift bridge at Lakeshore Road because a boat is passing through, it's a great alternative compared to sitting in a line of traffic.

Beautiful looking park with lots of different activities to do while you are there. They have a pond for fishing, swings, playground, water pad, volleyball, walking paths, pavilions and picnic tables. Everything looked to be in great clean working order. Cannot wait to watch a concert here this summer. Keep up the great work.

Simply a beautiful park. It's clean and offer so much for families with kids. Check out their summer events including their Monday Music Mania! The food options are great. A must visit!

This town park has it all! A playground, splash pad, mini golf (small fee), a fishing pond, walking paths, and places to picnic. In the summer, there is a weekly free concert series on Monday evenings.

What a beautiful park that has everything you need in one place.

So much to do at the park. There are lots of upgrades to the park. We hold a lot of fault celebrations here. In the summer they hold free summer music concert series, there's a kids splash pad & small playground, mini golf, soccer & baseball fields, a community center that can be rented, walking paths around the fishing pond & a nature path that goes into a small wooded area. The veterans memorial wall is also very nice.

We attended several of the free Monday night concerts that run during the summer months. The Town of Niagara has done an incredible job of creating a beautiful park for all to enjoy. A beautiful veterans memorial, walking paths, bocce ball, mini golf, summer concert venue, all come together to provide a wonderful place to spend some time!

The splash pad is located right next to a playground with wood chips. Id say bring more durable shoes to be equipped to go to both if you're traveling with smaller kids. The splash pad does have staff on site. There are many bathrooms close by, but only a few benches to sit down. I would say to ensure that you have a place to sit, I'd bring some camp chairs for next time. Everything was very clean. I personally wouldn't bring any glass because it's all concrete. *You'll need to bring your own snacks and water ; no vending machines around this area that I saw*

Clean park, set back from a fairly busy road. Tons of green space behind the park. Lots of trees for shade and several benches. The playground consists of a toddler area and a larger playground. There are four swings, a spinning feature, a small rock climbing area and several slides. Wood chips make up the ground of the playground.

Very nice park but use caution. The homeless seem a little more aggressive this year

We love this park, it just has problems with not being so clean, so much trash and garbage... but it's still a great park. Just look out for needles.

Park is great, many junkies are settled in this park, city must clean this park for kids and family safety.

Smaller park, but great for kids of all ages. Atmosphere at it Best..

No up keep. Homeless problem. Garbage all through the park. Terrible.

Good play equipment for the kids. But there always seems to be dogs running loose when we go.

Our first time to 16 mile cellars. We did a tasting with Michelle and Cathy. It was fantastic, and the wine is very good. If you have not been here, go, it's wonderful.

I can't recommend this winery enough. We had a private tasting with Eamonn for my husband's birthday, and it was truly a highlight of our day. We were so grateful for his knowledge, his patience with all our questions, and the generosity of his time. The wine was absolutely delicious, and the experience felt so personal and special. Thank you again for such a memorable visit! We will definitely be back.

An amazing hidden small producer. The wines are intense and classically styled, and can easily go up on the world stage. Tastings are warm and private, and love to get into the nitty-gritty details if you ask for it.

Cannot begin to tell you what a incredible experience we had there. Book a small tasting and when we arrived they were a little busy, we sat out side at a little quite table. When a lady walking up the driveway ask if we have been served, we indicated we had not yet. She was right back with some bottles and glasses, was the most amazing time with this lady she took the time to explain and was incredible with the wealth knowledge. We found out little later we had been sitting with the owner and again I was completely amazed by her. We will be adding this to a regular stop.

What a diamond . We loved the wines and highly recommend 16 mile cellar for people looking for something different in the region . Wines are sophisticated and well priced . Definitely a “ can’t miss”

Had a tasting today with Morgan the winemaker and were blown away—made our anniversary! Out of the 30 plus wineries I’ve been to in Ontario, these were some of the very best wines, and we enjoyed the tasting so much that we left with a case. Thanks!!

We had a great experience with Eamonn... He was such a passionate and knowledgeable host. I learned so much about wine farming. The Chardonnays and Pinots Noir we tasted were spectacular!

Lots of memories taking my kids through the years. It's kept clean with relatively new equipment, tennis court, basketball court and soccer nets. Nice quiet place to walk through or take the kids, there's two playgrounds and Happy Rolphs is close by as well as the beach.

One of the best Park 👌 it's the best place for all age group to play tennis 🎾 , basketball , soccer or just play area for kids

Great open spaces. Nice new basketball and Pickleball courts. Grass is kept at a good height and debris is cleaned up regularly. Nice children's playground equipment. Visually attractive.

Pretty good place for the kids new constitution for a new housing is going up pretty dusty and noisy during the day . My only true complaint is that the benches and picnic table are not as close to the play ground as I would like

Great place to play pickleball outside!

Spent an hour here playing Pokemon go it was a hippo nest got 8 of them

Fun park.

The trail is nice, the play ground is okay.. very out dated, the tall play ground has really steep and curvy slides,which is fine for older kids..and for some reason they took the swing set away at least a year ago and haven't replaced it. The only bench there is to sit on is leaning back into the ground and is very uncomfortable which defeats the purpose of it. Would love for the city to redo this park. Added someone burnt the garbage can and spread garbage all over the park, cleaning it up now as we speak.

Clifford's Creek park is a great park to bring the family or walk the dog it's a fair size and has a playground, basketball court, baseball field, and round about pathway good place for fresh air and exercise

Clean park, lots of green space up the slope behind it and a rough walking trail. Lots of benches and some shade. Two different monkey bar options, steep slides and a small toddler area. No swings. Up the slope there was a basketball court that hasn't been maintained in awhile.

Such a sad little park. I’m sure it’s great for letting the dog loose, but not much fun for kids. No swings, and outdated equipment. The city should invest in upgrading this park like they do in other “nice” areas.

I really like this park. It is always very clean and has a lot of space! I taking my dogs to this area during anytime of the year.

Great place for dogs. Clean, lots of space, very nice spot to chill

I love taking my dog for a walk in this part. There is a lot of room to move around in there.

It's a great park probably more interesting for little children but it is well kept and clean. And every morning their is a group of dogs on their walk and it's adorable. As well as the tennis court which is great when empty or if you actually know how to play tennis. And the basket ball court is cool too could use a repave but it is still good.

What a gorgeous park! While there I met Terry. He works all day, every day maintaining the grounds in this park. And it shows! You need to get a look at the grass on the ball diamond. It absolutely blows away my lawn and we get compliments all the time on our yard. I met a tennis player who tells me the courts are the best in Niagara.

Very nice little park. Play area for younger children with swings slide and jungle gym climbing apparatus. Tar mac basketball court. Grass area that gets used for soccer. Shade trees and benches and two enclosed tennis courts. Park is enclosed by fences on three sides and local ice rink on fourth. Adjoining the smaller park is another separate ball diamond of regulation size replete with night lights and set of bleachers.

Took the dog for a walk through the park. It appears to be well maintained and clean. The tennis courts were in use and quite active while a baseball game was going on in the adjacent diamond.

A small sports park with a baseball diamond, 2 tennis courts and a curling arena perhaps? A nice sized grass section with a small playground. It was clean and there were several benches to sit on

This park is currently the glue keeping this entire neighborhood together. Despite the odds I really did enjoy myself here. I even took a walk around the corner to the FreshCo grocery store on Ontario street.

Nice park for kids. Has tennis courts and on summer days you can watch the baseball game going on.

Great little park with a splash pad.
