Sudbury Parks & Gardens
Situated on the northern shore of Georgian Bay, southwest of Sudbury, is Killarney Provincial Park. This diamond in the rough offers exceptional hiking, paddling and skiing opportunities. The stunning landscape is filled with white quartzite cliffs, tranquil lakes and majestic rivers. See why such giants of Canadian art, The Group of Seven, wished to capture the park on canvas.
Scientists believe that this area rich in nickel and ore was the result of a hurtling meteorite that stuck the earth millions of years ago. The theory continues that Fairbank Lake was a crater, and its spring-fed waters now attract scuba divers and snorkellers. There is a buoyed area for swimmers as well as a boat launch.
Bell Park
Bell Park is the sight of many of Sudbury's outdoor festivals and events. The park is situated on the shore of Lake Ramsey and to the north of Science North. This picturesque park contains an amphitheatre and gazebos and picnic benches.
Lake Ramsey Walkway
The Lake Ramsey Walkway connects Bell Park (Paris Street and York Street) to Science North (100 Ramsey Lake Road). This scenic walk along Ramsey Lake offers plenty of photo opportunities.
