21 Reasons Why We Love South Glengarry: Parks [10 of 21]

Hello again, fellow lovers of South Glengarry! We can’t help but celebrate another feature that makes this area so appealing – our fabulous parks. These green spaces offer residents an ideal retreat into nature, at no cost, and greatly enhance the value and appeal of local real estate.

Week 10: South Glengarry’s Parks – Your Own Backyard Paradise

A personal favourite is Glen Walter Regional Park. This park, complete with a 2km paved walking trail, serves as a beautiful backdrop for our daily walks and runs, no matter the season, thanks to a considerate neighbour who diligently keeps the path clear of snow in winter.

The park’s abundant wildlife and natural beauty is simply mezmerising. From croaking frogs to sun-basking turtles and melodic birds, it’s a nature-lover’s dream. And for our younger residents, the recently installed play structure offers hours of fun.

Sport enthusiasts will appreciate the courts for tennis, pickleball, basketball, and volleyball, as well as fields for baseball and soccer. And for your convenience, there’s a picnic shelter and on-site washrooms.
