Great Outdoors


We’re not called the “Garden City” for nothing!

Get out and explore the great outdoors, including 1,000 acres of lush parkland, hundreds of thriving gardens, kilometers of waterfront trail and two beautiful, sandy beaches.

St. Catharines has become a destination of choice for cyclists across the globe! Networks of quiet paved roads, cycling paths and off-road trails wind through St. Catharines and link to surrounding communities. This is a great way to see the city’s attractions. Best of all the Greater Niagara Cycle Route offers hours of exploration and challenge to cyclists of all skill levels.
