Bronte Creek Provincial Park can only be described as an island in the sea of suburbia. Situated in the Golden Horseshoe, the 1690 acres park was designated a provincial park in 1972 by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. With a mix of farm pasture, orchards and forest it is truly an dynamic spot to explore. An amazing feature of this park space is the kilometers of walking, hiking and biking trails. Also, the access to the majestic Bronte Creek Valley.

As a young child, my parents would take my sister and I to the park on outings. There are so many things that you can do and see at Bronte. From the turn-of-the-century history museum, called Spruce Lane Farm, to the children's play barn, a nature center, a 1.8 acre pool and an Olympic size skating rink.
