ALTON VILLAGE – THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Alton Village is close to the Niagara escarpment and has some of the province’s best parks, hiking trails, and outdoor activities. Here are just a few:

Palladium Park

Kids and teenagers of all ages will have a blast at Palladium, which features a playground, basketball court, skateboard area, and massive soccer field. There’s lots of room to relax, too. Sit in the park and sunbathe or meditate, or have a quiet picnic.

Norton Community Park

Located just outside the Haber Community Centre, Norton features two artificial turf fields, a basketball court, and a skateboard park. On hot days, young ones can play and cool off in the splash pad.

Bruce Trail

The Bruce Trail is Canada’s longest and oldest hiking trail, stretching 900 km from Niagara to Tobermory. Though around 400,000 people visit this trail every year, its size and length make it unlikely to be overly crowded at any point. There’s plenty of wildlife to see on your path – turkey vultures, migrating hawks, songbirds, and more.

Colin Alton Parkette

Brand new as of June 2021, this mini-park features a playground with a wood fibre floor for safety. There is a fully fenced leash-free dog park, a 200m paved loop, and even an outdoor fitness centre. To relax, have a seat at one of the picnic tables in the shade. 

Mount Nemo Walking Trail

Alton Village is a quick nine-minute drive away from one of the most scenic places in all of Ontario. Mount Nemo gives you a panoramic view of the Niagara escarpment. Don’t forget to check out Brock Harris Lookout while you’re there. At 968 feet above sea level, the view is out of this world. On a clear day, you can see as far as the CN Tower!

Farmer’s Markets

Burlington Centre Lions Farm Market

Located at 777 Guelph Line, the Burlington Centre Lions Farm Market celebrates 64 years in 2022! Every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, you can browse the wide selection of locally grown fresh produce, meat, eggs, honey, and even wine. Here is your chance to expand your dining horizons while supporting local farms!

At Mount Royal Plaza, you won’t find many chain stores. Uniqueness is the name of the game here, and you’ll find it in the plaza’s specialty shops, restaurants, and fashion boutiques. Everyday necessities like banking and pharmacies are also at hand, as are physiotherapy clinics and beauty salons.
