"Didn't spend time at the park but walked the water treatment plant figure 8 trail!
It smells bad at the building but there are no bugs in the open air! We took my mom's dog and also saw a few animals!"

"Very spacious and well cared for leash free dog park in Bracebridge. Separate large play areas for large dogs and small. Lovely pond nearby with turtles sunbathing on the bank. The only problem with this place is it so hard to leave and get back to work."
Greg Mount
"A former barn that has been upgraded to be used as a hall for family get-togethers, wedding receptions, etc. Very cosy for around 50 people. Best in the summer as it gets a little chilly in the fall and you can take advantage of the full facilities when the weather is better. Still a great place for family to meet."
