Featured Parks
Residents and visitors are advised there will be a delay opening the splash pad. The cold winter has resulted in some damage that requires part replacement. Due to supply chain delays, we anticipate the opening will be late June to early July. We will keep the community up to date. We appreciate your patience.
Water features, sun shelters, and an accessible playground that make this park a summertime favourite. Beat the heat at the Wladyka Park splash pad.
All wheels welcome! Find out more about riding the rails, ramps, and steps at the Skate Park located at the Town Park Recreation Centre.
The ideal place to roam, sniff, and fetch. Meet up with all of your canine pals at the Baulch Road Park off-leash Dog Park.
Enjoy fresh air and physical activity seasonally on a natural outdoor ice surface. Lace up and glide over to the Caroline Street Rink.
The Future of Port Hope's Waterfront
The Waterfront and Riverwalk Master Plan provides an indication of the planned future changes in the redesign of the waterfront area, including the centre pier. We are developing a comprehensive, innovative, and achievable Plan. You can help shape the future design of your waterfront. Visit My Port Hope, our community engagement platform, where you will find a wealth of information about the Plan development process.
Garbage in parks and what you can do
Staff estimates that 50% to 70% of waste picked up on parks and trails are the result of illegally dumped household garbage.
A public awareness campaign on illegal dumping in parks and trails is in place. Incentives are available upon issuance of a violation by a police officer or by-law enforcement officer. Council supported removal of garbage cans on trails and specialized dog waste containers were installed.
Special events bookings
It is important to book parks, ball diamonds, and soccer pitches well in advance of the event. Please visit Book a Facility or Park for more information.
