So today for mother's day I decided to take a trip down to the BayFront Park in Hamilton, Ontario. It has to be THE happen-ingest place to be during the summer months.
Why you ask? We'll if you're not from Hamilton but thinking about taking a trip, it is definitely a sight to see! Its a destination spot for any sort of outdoor activity, with access to the water to launch boats, you can go rowing, boating (naturally) and sailing.
The path which stretches from Princess Point to the bayfront is great for walking, running, biking, or rollerblading! Everyone is of course super friendly and respect each others mode of transportation even if you're kind of new to rollerblading no ones going to be upset you crossed their paths. :)
Another great area is just a bit further up, where you'll find Willam's coffee pub, that has access to an outdoor patio, you can sit and bask in the sun this summer while enjoying a lunch or just come down for a coffee and or tea!
In that area there is also a outdoor skating rink, (don't have skates, not a problem!) there is a station there which allows you to rent them!! So while you and your family our out for a nice relaxing lunch you can take your kids up there to get some exercise!
Interested in a boating cruse? They have the Hamilton Harbour Queen, enjoy a fun lunch or a dance at night!
In 2006 the Hamilton Waterfront Trust unveiled the first Hamilton Waterfront Trolley and added a second in 2007. The two 37-passenger rubber tired trackless trolleys allow both young and old the opportunity to travel along the Hamilton Waterfront Trail. The 12km trail follows the shoreline of the western portion of the harbour which features many natural and built attractions, including active marine and rail operations, marinas and sailing/rowing clubs, children’s play facilities, historic bridges, and a shoreline and views so natural that you will think you are in Muskoka. Your conductor provides a narrated commentary as you travel in this one of a kind vehicle.
