Bienenstock Natural Playgrounds and Parks Canada are bringing an even bigger and better natural playground to Canada Blooms. Play and learn in this innovative, fully accessible natural park created from the hills, forest and bedrock of Ontario’s national parks. Features include a misting forest, two trout ponds, a waterfall, a climbing wall, giant sandbox, massive ancient logs, a sideways tree to climb, a hill slide, outdoor musical instruments, an amphitheatre, and an arts and crafts area.
Join us in the amphitheatre for live interactive video feeds from the glaciers and mountains of Canada’s national parks. Parks Canada staff will be on hand with the Canadian Wildlife Federation to show you the natural wonders that Canada has to offer.
