It is very bike-friendly, but don't forget to check the hours for bike rentals if that's what you plan on doing. There is a tram/shuttle that takes you to the very tip from the visitor's center but the path is bikeable/walkable as well. Parking is adequate and there are a number of well marked trails and boardwalks here to explore. One full day was all I needed here.

BOTTOM LINE: A hidden gem for birds and birders…read more Even if you've explored Point Pelee National Park, Hillman Marsh can give more intimate and close-up opportunities to watch your favourite birds (my first time here, I saw dunlins, blue and green wing teals, greater yellow legs, bonaparte gulls, blue herons, ruddy ducks, and it wasn't even migratory season yet!). From the marshy plains located just off the parking lot to the inland marshes and mudflats, there are a variety of spots for birds to chillax. One of the coolest parts of the this marsh are several long grassy "walkways" sandwiched between bodies of water so it gives you the feeling of walking through the middle of a lake. These walkways are quite elevated, so don't worry (too much) about flooding. The whole conservation area is a 5 km loop consisting mostly of grassy paths, minor elevation changes, and the occasional board walk - it's fairly easy to spend 2 hours here. And because it's a loop, there's basically no way to get lost, and so there are almost no signs either, lending itself to a very "natural" experience.

I was excited to eat here since I saw that they have broasted chicken on the menu. I checked their…read morebusiness hours and noted that their garden is open until 5 p.m. and their kitchen is open until 6 p.m. We arrived around 4:50 p.m. and saw that there was staff standing at the entrance to the garden. It gave the impression that they were guarding the entrance and that customers were not allowed to browse their plant selection, even though the store had not closed yet. We went over to their restaurant section and ordered at their kitchen order counter. I heard the cashier tell another customer that the dining room was now closed and they would have to get their food to go. When we ordered, I asked if we'd be able to eat there and was told that would not be possible. It was odd, as I saw people sitting at a table and getting their food delivered to their table. I inquired with the staff that brought out the food if it'd be alright for us to eat there, and she said yes. The broasted chicken we got was tasty, but slightly on the salty side. The broasted potatoes were a letdown. It was soft and not crispy at all. It seemed like since it was almost the end of the day, we were given what had been sitting around and not a fresh order. We had gotten an order for three pieces of broasted potatoes and were given five. Once again, we suspect this was because it was closer to the end of the day and they just wanted to get rid of it. The tossed salad did not look like it was tossed. The lettuce was stuck together (and perhaps had not been washed). Upon leaving, I overheard a customer confirm with staff that the kitchen closes at 6 p.m. and there are still thirty minutes until then, so there is no reason why they could not enjoy their food there.

The atmosphere is lovely. Walking around seeing all the plants is so refreshing. The kids have an…read morearea to play at the arcade. There is also a petting zoo and outside playground. The food is pretty good. Fries are fresh, the skin of the chicken was nice and crispy.

This is not a well developed park spot, but more of a local municipal beach for the residents. There is a small entrance to drive in and a beautiful shaded parking lot right next to the sand so you can drive up and step right onto the beach. There was even a lemonade food truck parked there. Woot! nice The geography is fascinating here due to the nautical entrance from the US to Canada. There is a canal where boats float in and register with customs. Watching the boat traffic in and out is fun! The beach is large and deep as well with tons of room, but not much for shade after you leave the parking area. The water looked ok and fairly clean but check the swimming reports in the area before jumping in, as all the beaches in the area are prone to warnings and closures occasionally.

This location at the Central Park Athletics is fairly new, this used to be the Windsor Ice Rink years ago, and I have since moved back from London a few months ago and have seen the change. The building itself inside is vast and has lots of immensities for people and families of all kind, it's a no judgement area, not like a gym where all you see is buff people working out seemingly judging you. It's nice to have access to the equipment I liked to use at Goodlife for workouts, and the weight area. It's nice because it's not busy during the weekdays at all and it's a nice quiet environment to work out in. The staff are really nice and they're knowledgeable about events, and were very clear about things when I signed up. As for monthly membership fees, if you're on a fixed income or a family rate, you get a certain discount that you can afford, which I still need to sign up for because I'm still paying more than what I did at Goodlife. This facility is clean, it has a basketball court, a pool, family changing rooms as well as men and women's. Friendly staff, good working equipment, they have a weight room, cardio area is always clean and they have a disinfectant spray and cloth to wipe the equipment off when you're finished using it. What a great place to come to for a judgement free workout and a place to feel like you belong.

This a decent workout place. Relatively new facility. Clean. Most importantly family oriented.read more
