It’s recreation and parks month in St. Catharines and It’s the perfect time to explore our beautiful parks, trails, and recreational facilities. Enjoy a picnic at Montebello park, hike the scenic trails of the Twelve Mile Creek, or participate in our community events and activities.
Take a respite from warmer weather by going public skating or taking a refreshing dip at St. Catharines Kiwanis Aquatics Centre. Cool off at one of our splash pads or enjoy a leisurely walk along our many trails. For sports enthusiasts, play a game of basketball at the new multi-use courts at Catherine Street Park or challenge yourself with a round of disc golf at Richard Pierpoint Park.
