Welcome back outdoor lovers…
I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful weather we have been having, and hopefully taking advantage of being outside!
For today’s blog post, I will be listing a few areas within the Niagara Region that are perfect for various recreational activities such as: Hiking, Biking, Canoeing, Having a picnic or gardening.
Some places that I really enjoy and highly recommend include:
1. Centennial Gardens – (321 Oakdale Avenue, St. Catharine’s, Ontario)If you’re looking for a place to go on a walk, ride your bike or have a picnic and simply enjoy nature. Then this is the place for you!
Centennial Garden’s is a beautiful park located just downtown St. Catharine’s. It was constructed in 1967 to honour the 100th anniversary of Canada. This garden is more commonly known for its hiking and biking trails that lead through a few of the original Welland Canals which continue along the Canal Valley.
This park has an 18-hole disc golf course which is perfect for playing Frisbee with friends or just simply hanging out with family or a significant other. Overall, the park has 9.3 hectares of land that provide endless opportunities for those who visit.
I highly recommend calling a few friends, packing a nice lunch and enjoying a few leisurely activities this upcoming weekend at Centennial Gardens.

2. Montebello Park – (64 Ontario Street, St. Catharine’s, Ontario).Montebello park similar to Centennial Garden’s is also located downtown St. Catharine’s. This park is PERFECT for upcoming summer nights!
Montebello park hosts various activities and events each year such as concerts, celebrations, moonlight movie nights and beautiful rose gardens.
