Parks and Facilities

The City of Owen Sound's Parks Department looks after more than 40 parks, 18 playgrounds, and over 380 acres of parkland across the City.  Each park is important to its neighbourhood, making them popular destinations for residents and visitors alike.  They capitalize on the natural beauty of our Region, and are easy to access and enjoy!

Residents are able to book outdoor spaces or rent indoor facilities and can even use them for licensed events.
