Located at the
Eastern edge of Toronto bordering Pickering lies a vast beautiful natural oasis
called Rouge Park. Rouge Park is Canada’s first national urban park. With major
events happening monthly, a kid’s zone, and a variety of hikes and activities,
this park has everything to satisfy the nature lover from young to old. The
park is also located next to the Toronto Zoo, so if you wanted to really jam-pack
your day, you could always end your day at the park with a trip to the zoo, or
vice versa!
Something you
probably didn’t know: The Rouge River got its name from riverbank day causing
the stream to look red, or “rouge” in French, hence the name Rouge Park.
Things to do in
March: The month of March brings the first sights and sounds of spring,
including blossoming flowers, leaves, and birds. March is the perfect time to
take a guided hike in Rouge Park. Guided hikes happen 4 to 5 times a week at Rouge
Park, and about 3 times daily. Each guided hike has a different challenge and
activity level, so there’s something for everyone. You can download the walking
schedule from The Rouge Park official website. Groups for the hike can be up to
15 people.
