Get Outside This Summer! Where To Go In Hamilton

With the summer almost here, it's time to get outside! Where, you ask? We'll tell you! There's a variety of places right in our backyard that are free to use and loads of fun!

Bayfront Park


Extending over 40 acres, Bayfront Park is full of activity. As a site for many summer festivals and concerts, it’s also a great place to fish.

Located in the west end of the Hamilton Harbour, you can walk, run, or bike through many of its pedestrian trails which lead to Pier 4 Park.

If you’re tired of your regular run route, why not give this place a try! All the activity will definitely keep you motivated.

Trail Blaze 


Hamilton has so many trails, it’s impossible for you to get bored. Check out the different trails around you here. With an assortment of distances and terrains, you can keep your body and mind guessing as you take in the beautiful scenery. 


 Do Go Chasing Waterfalls


If you haven’t been to Webster’s Falls yet, you’re in for a treat! This 22 metre high plunge waterfall is located in the Spencer Gorge/Webster’s Falls Conservation Area.

With picnic tables, trails, and even a cobblestone footbridge, this is the perfect place to soak up some vitamin D!

So grab some friends and bring a Frisbee. Or make the journey solo and bring a great book.
With Webster’s so close, it's the perfect time to take advantage

Chedoke Stairs 


289 stairs separate you from a solid workout.

Why not give these bad boys a try! Being that they’re so close to The Pulse, you can jog there to warm up, run them up and down, and then jog or walk back as your cool down. Stay tuned for a stair circuit idea coming at you this Friday! 

Cycle Those Country Roads


Grab your bike, it's time to ride! Hamilton has a plethora of different routes which will make for a great day. 

For all things bikes, check this out. Make a day of it by exploring places like Dundas, Copetown, or Flamborough. You may even want to stop in at Cafe Domestique for an afternoon pick-me-up, which is sure to be filled with cyclists just like you. 

So let's get moving outside and reap all the benefits the outdoors has to offer us!
