I think this play place is made for older kids. Other than that there's lots of parking and the employees there are nice! It's usually pretty quiet in here! Great for parents with older kids! There's tables where they're able to have their alone time as well to sip on a coffee or read a book! May try to come back when this kiddo is older!

For years, I have been driving along Water Street whenever I'm in Newmarket. I enjoy the scenic…read moredetour. It allows me to travel between Yonge and Leslie Streets using a smaller set of streets. I have passed by Fairy Lake Park countless times. Yesterday, I finally paid it a visit. This park is steps away from Newmarket's Main Street South. It's where all the cool, small shops and eateries are. I was at this park to partake in the Newmarket Craft Beer Festival. What stands out during this time of year is the park's fountain. It can be clearly seen from Water Street. It's enjoyable to look at, even on a gloomy day. At first, it looked like parking would be crazy. However, when I turned onto a side road that gets you to parking at this park, it was great. There are roughly three parking lots going down this road. All are free. I decided to park on the side road where there are designated spots. It was humid and rainy. That combination is horrible to visit a beer festival. However, I survived with an umbrella, some grub, and, of course, beer. There are portable washrooms at this park. It was a nice touch. I saw geese enjoying the rain and one another's company. There is plenty of geese poop around, so look down when you walk. I liked the various signs scattered in this park. I love self-discovery tours and I got a decent one yesterday. I learned that this park is also known as the Wesley Brooks Memorial Conservation Area. Its namesake was born in Mount Albert and moved to Newmarket after serving in World War II. He served as Clerk-Treasurer of Newmarket and continued serving the town for nearly two decades. Fairy Lake is a man-made lake. It's maintained by a dam on the East Holland River. The lake was originally a millpond, but it's now a recreational area. The dam has been at the lake since 1801. This park is open year-round. Parking and admission to this park are free. I can see some paths being off-limits during the wintertime, though. It was pretty muddy when I walked on the grassy parts. I appreciated the gazebos and covered pavilions yesterday. They kept everyone dry from the rain and much happier! There is a playground at this park. Naturally, no one was using it while it was raining. I hope to return and enjoy walking through this park when it's dry and sunny. There's an ice cream store on Main Street South that I'd love to drop by. I can see myself spending some time indulging in frozen desserts at this park. (210)

I would definitely go back.

I recently visited Newmarket Riverwalk Commons. I parked in a rather long parking lot. The intent…read morewas to visit Eventmrkt. Instead, I drop by a rather quaint area that I need to revisit at a more leisurely pace. Newmarket Riverwalk Commons is the space outside the Newmarket Community Centre & Lions Hall. The area has an outdoor stage. I can see it being the perfect place for Canada Day celebrations and live music when the weather is warm. There was was looked like a wading pool. I'm sure that it'll be a hit when it opens for summertime fun for kids. In the wintertime, this same area becomes a skating rink. I like how cool the space has been carefully curated. It's always being used. You don't have a wading pool that sits idle for more than half the year like you'd expect at a park with one. I am guessing that most events in Newmarket happen here. It's picturesque and beautiful with a good number of parking spots. When I'm not here on a mission to park and grab a bite to eat, I'll check out the area more closely. From the glimpse of it that I got, it's cool and deserves a revisit. (198)

We had a birthday party there, and while it was fun, the price was a little steep considering you can't bring your own food in (not even snacks for the kids). But i think this place is a great staple of Aurora and i hope it stays around for a long time. They have a lot of deal days, and it's definitely worth the price considering you can stay all day if you want. It would just be nice if they could adjust the "No food allowed" policy to a degree, though I understand the "shop local" ideology.
