Rouge Park


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.
