Hardy Park — Attraction in Ontario

Hardy park itself is beautiful but the increase in homeless people in the small city really shows almost anywhere you go, especially down town which Hardy park is off of. So don't put anything down that you own because you won't own it for long. There is a nice play structure for children and many trees with picnic tables to sit at in the summer and relax. There is a Beach volleyball net and a gazebo which are very nice but rarely used. There is a boat launch right off the side of Hardy Park but it isn't convenient for swimming as there are many boats there and the downward slope is slippery with miss.

Probably my second favourite park in Brockville along the river. It was formed in the early 60s ontop of former manufacturing grounds. A very beautiful park with some landscaping, flowerbeds & shrubs, big lofty shade trees, brick pathways & an old-fashioned gazebo.

In summer there are band concerts in the gazebo Sundays & Movies in the Park on Thursday evenings, yet I haven't watched...

This park has a small play area with play structures and swings for the kids, There is a shelter with a roof for protection from the sun or rain, picnic tables, and washroom facilities.

If you feel like more activity, you can bring your canoe or kayak as there are boat launches on either side of the park. Back your small fishing boat into the water and fish offshore, or just cast your line off the boardwalk. There are festivals held here during the summer and it's a great place to take in the tall...
