Barrie Centennial Park

Reviewed By laura_genie - Barrie, Canada

Barrie’s waterfront is beautiful! There’s always something going on during summer weekends - festivals, celebrations, musicians - lots of activity. During the week it’s great for a daytime or evening stroll along the boardwalk. Fabulous restaurants nearby. The beach is great for a mini summer getaway for the day. There’s even a giant floating water park called Splash On with fun for young and old alike. There are also several boat launches. This is one of my favourite places to be in Barrie!

Ardagh Bluffs

Reviewed By chris_godin - Barrie, Canada

This is a fair sized trail system within the city of Barrie in the southend. Busy at times but is great for mtn bike riding, hikers and dog walkers. The trial has recently been upgraded with signage making it wasy to know where are and to exit at all times. For the mtn biker there are tons of strata segments. Main trail is mainly flat a view small climb. Single track has some decent up and down sections.

Tyndale Park

Reviewed By mdT5157KC

Beautiful park. Very welcoming for out of towners. Barrie citizens and the whole park neighbourhood seem to be very warm to visitors with large families with children. A short trip from Brampton area (400) or Scarborough (404). Nice little beach with playgrounds nearby, clean facilities etc. BBQ and cooking is allowed and welcome. Very friendly staff
