Things to do in Windsor, Canada: The Best Nature & Parks

December 13, 2021 Flossie Demartino

Many tourists know Windsor for its casino. But if you dig a little deeper, you’ll find fascinating history here. Once an important stop on the Underground Railroad, Windsor became an important center of whisky production and, thus, a major smuggling port during Prohibition. (Apparently Al Capone liked his Canadian Club.) In summer, catch the enormous fireworks display at the International Freedom Festival.

If you haven't visited Jackson Park in Windsor, Ontario Canada...on the corner of Tecumseh Rd and Ouelette St., then you must visit before Jan 7th. The Park is a must walk thru with loved ones and children...stroll thru the thousands if glittering lights and festive decor. Walk thru the dreamy lit tunnels while walking hand in hand with your loved ones. Also take a stop at the many booths for gifts, hot chocolate and other creative items. Don't forget to take pics and video of this amazing experience. You can have that feeling of Christmas Joy forever. You only have 5 days left to feel like a kid walking in a fantasy world...no time like now to go. See you all at the Park...Jackson Park.

I've been to this park many times over the years and each time I go there I always get some ice cream and stroll around to see everything. I enjoy looking at the flowers, topiaries and the floating water fountain in the Detroit River. I find this park to be peaceful. There were even people there taking family and graduation photos with the river or the flowers/topiaries in the background.

Located along the river this is a total must see! If you have children I recommend you bring them here! If you like running, or walking there is a great deal to see! My only concern were the statues of the dudes running. In the low light of sunset I thought they were youths up to no good. Lastly there were tons of Pokemon! Also many pokemon stops and gyms!
