Week 10: The Great Outdoors: Celebrating South Glengarry’s Parks
South Glengarry boasts a multitude of splendid parks, providing the perfect escape to immerse oneself in nature, all for free!
One park that holds a special place in our hearts is the Glen Walter Regional Park. The 2km paved walking trail is our go-to destination for daily walks and runs, irrespective of the season – courtesy of a kind-hearted neighbour who ensures the path is snow-free in winter.
The natural beauty of the park keeps us coming back for more. You’ll find yourself entranced by the chorus of croaking frogs, the sight of sun-basking turtles, or the melodious songs of various bird species. Additionally, the newly installed play structure keeps our grandchildren entertained for hours on end!
The park further hosts courts for tennis, pickleball, basketball, and volleyball, plus fields for baseball and soccer. Added amenities include a picnic shelter and onsite washrooms.
