Joshua Creek Heritage Art Centre

Reviewed By Rosey009 - Stoney Creek, Canada

Our watercolour artists tour of Joshua Creek Heritage Art Centre was fantastic! We came on a sunny fall day so the studio was filled with light! Sheridan College students’ artworks were very good. The volunteers there are so friendly and helpful. They answered all our questions and Linda took us into the studio to see what was happening there. Our biggest thrill was meeting the founder, Sybil Rampen who graciously took us into her home and told us many stories of her art journey, about classes/lesson taught at this very interesting place and so many lovely art pieces made by herself, her family and some if the students. Sybil is a spunky, creative soul! We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and plan to return soon for more inspiration and to tour the grounds and gardens!

Reviewed By A2063YErobinm - Oakville, Canada

The gardens provide such a peaceful location to walk & take in nature. The park with it's ponds & wildlife (ducks, frogs, turtles, etc.) looking out over Lake Ontario take you to a state of tranquility immediately. The rose garden & it's heavenly fragrances is divine.

We go on a Sunday Afternoon for a walk. It is really beautiful. We watch the boats going in and out of the harbor and the ducks and swans.

Lion's Valley Park

Reviewed By Connoisseur-of-Life - Mississauga, Canada

This is a favourite walking destination for our [active] seniors’ group which is a particular popular destination in the autumn to see the fall colours. But the visible sedimentary geology also elicits comments and interest. Evidently also a great place for picnics and BBQ’s. It is extremely well kept and an absolutely amazing freebie. The entrance road demands brakes in good working condition but a thrill for those who have otherwise sedentary lifestyles. Parking is adequate and dog walkers love the paths. Despite the traffic overhead, it is a place of tranquility and natural beauty.

Kids love the summer water play area, and cooling off in the waters of Lake Ontario. A nice walk with shaded and sunny areas, play areas, picnic areas, and an easy commute down Lakeshore Drive.

Oakville Galleries

Reviewed By CabareterR

Kids go to camp here on PD days off school. What an amazing setting, overlooking Lake Ontario. Lots of exhibits to keep you coming back, or a great place for a picnic. Even good in the winter (just dress warm!)
