Winter Fun in Brant County

Wednesday, 30 January 2019 10:59

Brant County has a number of outdoor rinks and tobogganing hills for everyone to use this winter.

PARIS - Brant County has a number of ways to help you stay active this winter. 

They have a number of trails and parks that are open during the winter, however they are often not maintained and parental supervision is recommended. They also have a number of outdoor skating rinks available for everyone to use free of charge. They are at Poplar Hills Park (20 Kingsmount Cres., Brantford), Mt. Pleasant Park (555 Burtch Rd., Mt. Pleasant), Syl Apps (51 William St., Paris) and Sunny Hill Park (87 Sunny Dr., St. George). 

You can also go tobogganing at Bemrose Park in Paris and King William Park in St. George. 

Parks and Trails safety tips:

- We are so fortunate to have many rivers, ponds and creeks throughout the County. Make sure children and pets are properly supervised near water, whether it is frozen or flowing.

- Hike with a friend in winter. Daylight hours are short in the winter and the sun goes down quickly. Begin your trip early in the day. And remember, deep snow may obscure trail blazing or trail markers.

Other winter safety tips:

- Sledding is a fun activity and parental supervision is a good idea for youngsters. Avoid sledding on a hill near roads, trails, trees, fences, or other dangerous obstacles.

- Stormwater Management Ponds are designed to collect and retain storm water. It is not a safe place to skate or play near.

- And please remember, children should avoid playing around or on snowbanks by the road to avoid an accidental collision with a vehicle.
