Confederation Park has been a part of my life pretty much forever. I've been coming here since I…read morewas a kid, and it's still one of my favourite spots in Hamilton to just get outside and enjoy the waterfront. It's a great place for walking, biking, rollerblading, or just relaxing by the water. On a really clear day, you can even see CN Tower and the Toronto skyline across the lake, which is always cool to spot. Adventure Village is a cute little mini park area nearby that kids will especially love, and while Wild Water Works is just okay in my opinion, it's still a fun option on a hot summer day. One of the true classics here is Hutch's on the Beach. We've been going there for years for fries, fish & chips, and ice cream...though it can get SUPER packed during peak times. There are also some other nice-looking spots like Barangas on the Beach that add to the area's appeal. Unfortunately, over the last few years the park has definitely become more crowded and more litter-filled, which is disappointing. But despite that, I've still always enjoyed my time here and have a lot of nostalgia attached to this place.

The weather was a bit chilly, it told him about 28 mins to finish and age group 2nd place award. There was fruit for him afterward.

Residents around could run, bike, or swim there. This is a great place to relax in summer.

Make sure to bring water, sunscreen and hat or umbrella. The trails were pretty well kept and had a mix of shade and unshaded areas. Most of the trails and picnic areas were pretty quiet and looked to be not very busy. I think there were some parts of the trails that were off leash dog areas. When we were there, the barn area wasn't really opened to the public (in terms of looking inside them).

Bronte Creek is one of the two provincial parks in the GTA. There is an entrance fee, so I would…read moresuggest getting the Ontario Parks pass from your local library to enter and to park for free. This is a nice park with lots of hiking trails and lush woods, offering plenty of shades on a sunny day. The only trail that allows you to go down to the creek is #6 Half Moon Valley Trail. I would also recommend #4 Lookout Ravine Trail which is almost completely covered by trees and would be beautiful in the fall. You shouldn't miss the famous White Oak Tree, likely germinated since 1685 and at least 300 years old, close to parking lot A. The Spruce Lane Farmhouse is another highlight near parking lot F, which is a Victorian-style house showing visitors what life was like back then. The antique furniture, well-decorated rooms, farm equipment, and friendly volunteers wearing Victorian costumes gave us an immersive experience at the farm. The only problem is that the amenities are a bit dated, especially with the signage. The park staffs should hand out free maps as you enter the park, and there should be more directions as to where you are. I often had to rely on Google to check location and the pre-downloaded map from their website. The swimming pool remains under renovation as of summer 2024, so the park is not yet at its full potential.

Although I like working from home (fewer distractions and avoidance of folks that I don't enjoy working with are my main pros), not chatting with her regularly is a routine that I deeply miss. We met up in Oakville. I live in Markham. She lives in Hamilton. I was okay meeting up with her in her new city, but she felt bad about my driving all the way over. I frankly don't mind a mini road trip. It's all relative to me. Anyway, we grabbed Thai food and got recommendations from a nice woman at Funky Thai to hit the waterfront. My friend and I did a search on our maps apps and we randomly chose to drive to Bronte Beach Park. I led the way over here. My friend feels at ease when I take the lead. Work norms never die. There are at least two lots for parking. I led her into a weird sort of parking tour as I was figuring things out. The first lot that we ultimately parked in was for public vehicles. The lot closer to the marina had a mix of trailers and a small section for public cars. I read the signs carefully. If you have a trailer, you need to get a parking ticket. Otherwise, parking is free for regular folks like us. After we parked further away from the marina, we grabbed our food, and took a nice walk down to the beach. It was a cloudy day. However, this beach is a gem and managed to brighten everything up under the cloud cover. To start, we liked that it was a real beach and not manmade like Sugar Beach. The sand was clean and it felt nice briefly seeping into our sandals. There was a family with inflatable Beach Body surfboards out on the water, came back, and deflated the surfboards several feet away from us. With the marina, there were many folks out on the water. I loved seeing lighthouses. Yes, plural! Everyone here was practising physical distancing that it eased our minds. We eventually found a picnic bench. It was different. One side had seats where we ultimately sat down for nearly two hours to chat and catch up. The other side allowed you to stand up and eat. It felt like our stand-sit desks at work, which was kind of fitting. We ate. We laughed, We people-watched. We enjoyed each other's company. It was a great afternoon in a pretty area. This beach is extremely clean. There were folks on hand to check that everything and everyone was okay. You could find a garbage bin often. There are washrooms in a large building. We enjoyed spending a bit of our Saturday here. I'd come back just to walk around and perhaps take a closer look at those lighthouses next time. (352)
