Best Park in Canada

J	Jose Frank Rendon Barroso on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Wonderful day at GCA! Nice hiking with my wifey, teens and our Chloe!!! Beautiful scenery and nice trails!!!
M	Megha Bhardwaj on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful conservation area with enough trails. There is a 'bowl' where dogs can be let off leash, which is great ? Went down to the river and it's absolutely beautiful. There are a few ways to get down and worth the views by the water. I read there are salmon that swim upstream in the summer time - will be back to check it out. Recommended for hiking, day out, sledding and bringing your dog (off leash only works if your dog's trained, not enclosed like dog parks) ?
P	Patricia Revita on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My family used to go to this park a lot when I was a kid, and it's been kept pretty well when I visited, which was still during covid. The grass was still cut and it was pleasant for bike riding. The area is large and varied enough for a nice run with a variety of views. There are picnic areas and is great for spending the day in during warmer weather.
A	Ahmad Farid on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best conservation area in the Durham region, there is parking although a little limited, inside the park there are a bunch of paths for hikers of varying levels, theres a main trail that is paved and gazebos with seating close to washrooms. There are also play areas for younger kids to play! You owe it to yourself to swing by if you live in the area!
P	Pushkar Verma on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The authority maintaining this conservation area and preserving wildlife deserves applause. The exuberant foliage during summer and autumn is simply astonishing. Proudly located at the centre of the city this park has countless species of flowers, bugs, birds, fishes. No reservation is required and no parking fee charged. The place is not just an attraction due to hiking and trailing but also good spot for a friends and family picnic. Few trails are up to 10 kms and there are too many to explore, if you are energetic enough you can spend 6-8 hours. Have your food and water supplies in plenty and reach on time to avoid parking struggle during weekends, definitely coming back during autumn. Just a tip Pickering museum village is located nearby and is open.
R	Rex Tsang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place to go hiking but gets very busy on the weekends. Get there early or you will have to park on the road.
J	Jeremy Gibbs on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Greenwood as a conservation area is great. The lands are well managed and contain a nice range of biomes. But what really sets it apart are the off-leash dog features. It is the only place I have found anywhere nearby where you can truly let your dog run free. The only thing lacking is proper trail signage. If it's your first time attending I might suggest a compass as the winding paths make it easy to get turned around. Although, once you get a handle on the area it is a truly great place!
C	Colin White on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is one massive res where one can take the dog off the leash and let it run miles in both open areas, and trails that lead absurdly everywhere and over to various cliffs, followed by a choice between some very steep (lined with safety ropes from tree to tree) to moderately steep decents. The river has a good current and runs until it's extremely cold, and the banks that line it are great. Some banks are sand filled, others just trails. Wear your winter boots or gripped boots for sure. If it's warm out you'll be muddy. It's well worth the walk. Give yourself 90 minutes minimum to have a proper experience. The creek is called dufferens creek and it runs through many conserved areas.
