Parks

The Altona Park boasts open green spaces, as well as pastoral spots of seclusion. Activities here are almost endless, with horseshoe pits, a large concert stage, shuffleboard, tennis courts, numerous baseball diamonds, as well as a colourful, safe playground area for the kids. Picnics or large gatherings are never a problem, since numerous picnic shelters dot the park's picturesque landscape. Neatly-groomed shrubbery and stunning flower beds line every walkway. Need a weekend getaway? Serviced campsites abut the park for convenience in a relaxing, natural environment.

Just a short walk away, you'll find the breathtaking Buffalo Creek Nature Park. Although man-made, care was given to every natural detail: meandering trails encircle the tranquil, 2 acre lake and carry you over a bridge. From almost every vantage point, you can watch the fish jump - that's right, its stocked with rainbow trout! Utilizing the catch and release program, public fishing is encouraged. In winter, the lake surface doubles as a brightly-lit skating area, along with a huge hill that screams for toboggans and snow boards! And the field house is a great place to warm up with a mug of hot cocoa!
