Best Nature and Parks (RV, National, Dog, etc) in Brampton

"Since the 1800s, when the Beach boasted amusement rides and quaint cottages, both tourists and Torontonians alike have flocked to this east-end neighbourhood. With tennis courts, a baseball diamond, wading pool in the summer and ice rink during the winter, not to mention the picturesque bandstand and playgrounds, it’s no wonder that Kew Gardens is the go-to venue for those in the know. The park regularly hosts events, with movie nights a favourite throughout the summer; it’s also home to the Beach Guild of Fine Art, a group of local artists who regularly host exhibits and sales in the Historic Gardener’s Cottage."

"Kew Park, located in TheBeaches neighborhood of Toronto, is a delightful tree-shrouded park with large lawns and lots of green space. Layer on a fantastic beach at one end and a few historical structures throughout the park, and you have one of Toronto's finest parks. All contained within this 6.5-acre park are the following: tennis courts, a baseball diamond, lawn bowling, a wading pool, spectacular gardens, a concession stand, and a covered picnic area."

"This popular 6.5-hectare stretch runs from Queen Street East to Lakeshore, with the added distinction of being completely wheelchair accessible. A plastic mat system begins from the bottom of the pool building and leads to the shore, allowing mobility devices to access the water and the sand. If idling on the grassy area sounds a bit boring to you, opto to join the history buffs and tour the old gardener's cottage on property instead."

"If you’ve never been to Boyd Conservation Centre, you’re missing out. This Woodbridge nature preserve, which is chock full of mature trees, is nothing short of majestic. It’s also a local favourite for family get-togethers, thanks to its many picnic and BBQ sites."

"If you’re fu-going to Fugo, expect to be tempted by unique ice-cream flavours, mini-donuts being made before your eyes, and house-made marshmallow fluff. The dessert place has minimal space but maximum flavour. The staff have always been kind when I’ve been, and it’s a nice place from which to grab a take-out treat, or a box of mini donuts!"

"Came here for their tropical mango+pineapple soft serve, personally I didn't like the texture. It was airy, kinda fluffy like whipped."

"Sunnybrook Park was once the country estate of Joseph Kilgour, a prominent businessman back in the 1800s. At the time, it was known as Sunnybrook Farm, a 175-acre property that featured country homes and horse stables. When Kilgour passed away, his wife Alice donated the property to the city with only one requirement, that it be turned into a public park."

Located north of Leaside and south of The Bridle Path, this foliage-full park has 25 different biking trails, an off-leash dog park and many different walking trails."

"Bird lovers flock to Sunnybrook Park to admire the several species that call the green space home. The space, just north of Leaside, is huge (154 hectares!) and boasts many bike and hiking trails. Feel free to bring your pooches along: there is an off-leash dog area on premise as well."

"The Leslie Street Spit, as it was then, was originally built as a breakwater from millions of cubic metres of concrete and fill in the 1950s. But after it was no longer needed it was realized that it had become an unintentional wilderness, and so was given to the Toronto and Regional Conservation Authority in the 1970s. Now, this five kilometre peninsula jutting out into Lake Ontario covers over 250 hectares and is home to ten kilometres of paved trails."

"A post shared by Simon Holder (@simon.toronto) on Jul 19, 2017 at 5:50pm PDT. This man-made peninsula by the waterfront is a great spot for hiking or cycling. The largest existing natural habitat on the Toronto waterfront, you’ll find sand dunes, cottonwood forests, marshes, and cobble beaches."

"A post shared by @torontosucksforcycling on May 13, 2018 at 5:09pm PDT. This unique spot isn’t far from downtown, and is home to a variety of creatures!. The park is designated as an Important Bird Area and Environmentally Significant Area – providing the perfect habitat for wildlife."

"Located in Yorkville, that good ole Toronto neighbourhood that’s fun for window shopping but not actual shopping, the Novo Spa is a 5,000 square-foot natural treatment centre that transforms spa bliss into personal bliss; and this personal bliss doesn’t go away in a couple minutes like a good snack does (I know I’ve been talking about food a lot, okay?! I’ve been thinking about German schnitzel ever since I returned from Europe last week. You understand). @jfmarquessembedded via. With services ranging from couple and individual massages to advanced natural and organic facials, the spa offers luxuries that will cure you just by the sound of it — but, you know, actually going there and getting the actual treatment would be nice, too."
