"This gem, tucked behind the PNE/Playland grounds offers plenty to do even as the roller coasters within view remain silent. It’s got four beach volleyball courts, a soccer field with a surrounding track, ping pong tables, a parkour course, a bike skills area, an accessible playground, perimeter biking and walking paths and a skateboard hangout. Something for everyone."

"Not to be confused with nearby Renfrew Community Park, this serene sliver of a park makes the most of Still Creek and its corresponding ravine. On the north side of East 29th Avenue is a newly fenced off-leash dog park but the main draw attraction is the shaded walkway hugging the creek. On the south side of 29th, a newly built stairway leads down to another stretch of the creek and a short boardwalk."

"The easiest place to access the Lower Seymour Conservation Area in a place that’s perfect for portraits is near the Rice Lake parking lot. You can usually find a spot in the parking lot. Lower Seymour is for you if… you live on the North Shore and want a forest session."
