Ils finissent tellement beau

Went on a weekday afternoon and it was very quiet, not busy at all. The Oshawa trail, which goes along the waterfront, is grass, so it can be super muddy at points. Only sticking point here is the trail they advertise as being accessible to visually impaired folks, called Dogwood Trail is not particularly accessible at the moment as many of the posts along it which hold up a guide line are knocked down, probably due storms this past winter. But important to note for anybody hoping to utilize that. Also make sure to wear long pants, tuck them into your socks and check for ticks when you get home - it’s a huge problem all over Southern Ontario these days!

They have updated the trail over the summer, there is now ample signage directing people to various trails & showing where they are.
It’s always so beautiful & you can have multiple different routes.
I would say this is accessible & wheelchair/mobility aid friendly.

There’s an accessible Jonny on the spot in the summer, & decent parking.

Great experience. If you enjoy being outside in nature. The sun was shining, birds were chirping and all was good.

A beautiful place with tons of long and short trails, lots of wildlife (specifically birds), passing McLaughlin bay, marsh and Lake Ontario, rather easy walk, length depending on specific trail, lots of free parking and a direct short path to Darlington Provincial Park, normally not too many people and a bus stop only a few minutes away, can be alot of mud and bugs but to be expected for waterside trails

Our recent nature walk in the local wildlife park provided an exciting opportunity to explore and appreciate the natural world. The walk allowed us to observe various species of plants and animals in their habitats.
We spotted several species of birds, including parrots and birds of prey. We also saw deer, rabbits, and other small mammals.The park featured a diverse range of plant species, including trees, shrubs, and wildflowers.The park's varied habitats, such as forests, grasslands, and wetlands, supported a wide range of wildlife.
The nature walk in the wildlife park was an enjoyable and educational experience. We gained a deeper appreciation for the natural world and the importance of conservation efforts to protect wildlife habitats.
