Imagine Adventure

Visit one of our provincial parks to discover something new. With a variety of trails for hiking, waterways for canoeing, and countless other outdoor activities - Ontario Parks has something for everyone.

Inspiring the Arts

From the Group of Seven to Indigenous artists - and even modern-day creatives - the landscapes of Ontario Parks continue to inspire the creation of outstanding works of art. A brand-new art-based program designed to connect people with nature through hands-on art activities will be offered in parks across the province.

Contribute to Science

The public will be invited to give back, learn, and participate in stewardship programs to help protect the incredible amount of biodiversity found in provincial parks, bioblitz events, invasive species removal, and wildlife monitoring.

Events and activities will be happening all year at parks across the province, so be sure to check out the Ontario Parks website for all the newest information.
