Champion Park is opening its doors to members of the public on Saturday, September 16, 2023 from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Take a stroll around the 55-acres of land, watch the rainbow trout swim in the pond, check out the wildlife in the wetland area, or simply partake in the games and activities. A passport will be given to children, encouraging them to engage with the many interpreters and receive stamps after each visit. A complete passport can be traded in at the end of the visit for a prize.
Bring a picnic lunch and sit on a piece of the vast and beautiful property. As Champion Park is part of our sustainable community, please ensure all waste goes home with you. We encourage using reusable containers if you do decide to bring a picnic lunch.
We will monitor weather conditions but recommend visitors bring an umbrella and waterproof jacket in the event of rain and layer up in case of cold weather.
