The Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens — Attraction in Oshawa

Botanical Gardens is my favorite go to place during the summer. It has something for everyone. The parking is free and easily accessible, and right next to it is the children’s arena. There’s only one washroom- the one inside the arena. Once you enter you see a beautiful peony flower area. If you’re a flower enthusiast then these Gardens are for you. There’s always multiple classes and activities happening- adult painting classes, peony festivities, EarlyOn class for infants and toddlers. The last time I visited I saw the Waterfall Garden and it was really so cute and wonderful for the kids. There were even some toads inside the water- perfect learning opportunity.

There’s a bridge that takes you over the stream, but also there’s access to the stream if you’re the dip your legs in kind of person.

Tons of flowers, two different play areas, picnic tables everywhere, some abstract art like metal bees, and metal mushrooms lol.

My kids absolutely love the play structures- it’s usually shaded so we aren’t burning in the heat.

On the absolute end of the Garden is a cute walk away with similar metal structure- that reminds me of a bird cage. This area is perfect if you want to throw a ball around, or go for a walk in circles. It’s also very picturesque just like the rest of the gardens.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is due to the lack of a washroom the...

Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens is a hidden gem and such a perfect spot for a relaxing day out! There’s plenty of free parking, which is a huge plus, and the place is full of photo opportunities — no surprise there were lots of people dressed up and taking pictures all around.

The picturesque bridge over the stream is especially beautiful, though it did feel like people were just standing on it forever without actually taking photos, which made it hard to get a clean shot — but that’s part of the charm of a popular spot, I guess!

The gardens are full of flowers and very well maintained, and the stream adds a peaceful vibe as you walk along. I saw lots of families with kids and dogs, and the two playgrounds (one for smaller kids, one for bigger ones) are a thoughtful touch.

Bird lovers will enjoy it too — I spotted a variety of birds just sitting and watching. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for a leisure walk, a casual picnic, or a peaceful nature break right in the city....

Wow, what a nice place. I have visited many places. But this place was awesome 💯. After entering this place I could see many colours in greenery, bird's sound, water flowing sound, wind sound everything I have admiring most. Every person should visit this place. To spend time with friends, loved ones and families, I will recommend this place. Why not, lonely people also want to go to this place. They will feel very calm and peaceful. If you have any pressure in mind, feel stressed, not happy with the current situation, argument with a loved person etc visit this place you will get peace of mind. Waling alone in the footpath, I couldn't describe that feelings in word. I will suggest for Senior person also. Very very nice place.

I will recommend this place for...
