Rouge Park

Not far from downtown Toronto lies Rouge Park, an urban wilderness where skyscrapers and concrete are replaced by rustic trails, historic working farms, century-old trees, meadows and wetlands. Rouge Park stretches over 47 square kilometres and encompasses two Natural Historic Sites and a variety of ecosystems.

Guided walks and interpretive hikes make it possible for everyone to come out and explore and enjoy everything the park has to offer right through the seasons.
