Check out our Sandy Shores Kitchen and Café this summer for more outdoor fun!

Visit various parks around Barrie and experience our nature-based educational programming that offers a unique and immersive learning experience fostering a deep appreciation for the environment, while providing valuable educational opportunities. City partners including the Barrie Public Library and Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority may be in attendance at select days. Our free drop-in activities include: 

  • Nature Play Trailer: Play with various natural and man-made loose parts that encourage young people to engage with the natural world in a free, unstructured, and creative manner
  • Self-guided nature walks: Grab a 'Nat Pack' and go on a self-guided tour, exploring the park by using the items in the pack
  • Craft station: Learn about nature while making a fun craft to take home
