The park is well-maintained and you can easily follow physical distancing protocols.

Residents around could run, bike, or swim there. This is a great place to relax in summer.

Confederation Park has been a part of my life pretty much forever. I've been coming here since I…read morewas a kid, and it's still one of my favourite spots in Hamilton to just get outside and enjoy the waterfront. It's a great place for walking, biking, rollerblading, or just relaxing by the water. On a really clear day, you can even see CN Tower and the Toronto skyline across the lake, which is always cool to spot. Adventure Village is a cute little mini park area nearby that kids will especially love, and while Wild Water Works is just okay in my opinion, it's still a fun option on a hot summer day. One of the true classics here is Hutch's on the Beach. We've been going there for years for fries, fish & chips, and ice cream...though it can get SUPER packed during peak times. There are also some other nice-looking spots like Barangas on the Beach that add to the area's appeal. Unfortunately, over the last few years the park has definitely become more crowded and more litter-filled, which is disappointing. But despite that, I've still always enjoyed my time here and have a lot of nostalgia attached to this place.

We paid $35 which was a bit pricey but the fees cover admission to Christie Lake as well which would costs $25 for the 3 of us. We just went to Christie Lake a few weeks ago and didn't know about this deal. It's only about 7 mins drive to Christie Lake so we decided to go there for our picnic lunch after our walk at Spencer Gorge.

Highly recommend to visit all seasons but the most interesting though would have been during the Fall when the leaves changing colour. And when it is cooler, it is more relaxing to do the hike then in extreme summer heat. You have the option visit the 2 falls: Webster's Falls and Tews Falls by hiking through the trail or if you pressed for time or with limit mobility, you can just drive to both by car. If you do want to visit Dundas Peak then the only option is to park your car at Tews Falls and just walk there. I just love to listen to the sound of water and the view is enjoyable. A great mini hike next time if you are in the area!

There is even a horse trail! Pet friendly and even when the park is full, it does not feel congested. Parking is $15 for vehicle and driver plus $5 per passenger. I found this to be a bit expensive.

We went when the cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom but it was a tad bit early for the other floral arrangements to bloom in their outdoor gardens so it still felt winter-like. We started at one location early in the morning with the Arboretum. That's where you pay $25 to drive your vehicle in. Parking is ample early in the morning but when we left an hour or two later, there was a conga line of vehicles waiting to get in. So, yes you have to be there at least at around 8 AM if you don't want to wait in line or find parking. Parking is free at the main RBG region with their inside greenhouse region plus their outside garden. What I didn't like was that you had to drive out afterwards to go to the Rock Garden where you had to show your tickets again for entrance. Parking was still free though. So, overall, a lot of driving from one location to another (at least three) and a lot of walking. If you want to bring slow-walking seniors, good luck. It's beautiful scenery but a lot of walking involved.
