Parks and Green Spaces
Natural and tended spaces are plentiful in North Kawartha and the surrounding area. There are two Provincial Parks within North Kawartha Township, in addition to numerous other attractions and natural wonders. Scroll through the drop-downs below, to see locations which variously offer everything from baseball diamonds and boat launches, to playgrounds, picnic areas, beach volleyball, basketball, tennis/pickleball courts, and more!
Please note: Tobacco Enforcement Officers (TEOs) regularly patrol parks, playgrounds, beaches and festivals to ensure compliance with the Smoke-Free Ontario Act (SFOA). Under the SFOA, beaches and other outdoor spaces are designated smoke, vape and cannabis-free, and violating the law could lead to a $305 fine. Any person who sees people smoking, vaping, or using cannabis at beaches and within park boundaries may report a violation by calling the PPH Tobacco Enforcement Officers at 705-743-1000 or reporting the offence online at www.peterboroughpublichealth.ca/sfoa.
