McLennan Park is the site of the old landfill in Kitchener (hence the nickname of "Mount Trashmore"…read moreby the locals) and occupies 39 hectares in the Laurentian Hills neighbourhood. There's truly something for everyone, including a dog park and a skate park, playground, and a relatively new BMX bike park. There is also a washroom building here as well as parking on-site. There are pedestrian trails for those who like to take a nice walk. Beach volleyball and basketball courts are also available for booking. In the winter, people of all ages love to toboggan down the hill. For those looking for fun in the great outdoors, look no further than McLennan Park!

My dad actually grew up in Oakville, so it was rad to come to Coronation Park with him as he showed…read moreme his old stomping grounds. He was also my production assistant for this leg of Chicken Wars, as we did 3 tissi reviews in this park... that sentence would have been complete gibberish to me 3 months ago lol. As tradition holds with my reviews of parks, I'm gonna let off some steam. I'm tired. Ever since me reviewing rotisserie chickens in outdoor spaces went semi-viral, I've been giving this everything I got. My entire soul. I've sat at my corporate 9-5 job for years dreaming about something like this to happen, so when it finally did, I was ready. I pounced. I said to myself "yeah you're exhausted, but this is the time. It's quite literally now or never." I've given it everything, so at least at the end of the day I can look myself in the mirror and say I tried. I tried my best. Working a 9-5 job in tech sales while doing the writing, editing, eating, filming, traveling, etc. for this has taken every ounce of my being. It's starting to get to me. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining at all, I'm actually extremely grateful, but I just want to stay raw and honest. The reality is there are highs and lows with everything, and I'm just trying to learn how to navigate them. Seeing that Sports Science guy end it all the other day made me so sad. Like damn that guy brought so much joy to my childhood. Even he was going through it!?!? He looked so happy all the time. I just think it's important to get this stuff out of my head and onto metaphorical paper. Maybe this one should have just stayed in my journal, but whatever. I think it will be cool to come back in 10 years and read this and either laugh at myself for being a dork, or be like "damn I was spitting." That's why I love writing so much.

This park was the highlight of our summer during pandemic and being a parent of a young kids…read more The only downside of the park is parking . Considering the size of the park, the ratio to park your vehicle is ver low. So we used to visit the park in a little off hours. It has an endless dimension for a toddler to run freely, its always breezy around the park due to the lake. The splash pad is huge , clean and the best. It has a combination of low pressure and high pressure water outputs so the kids of every age group a d enjoy it. There are a few picnic tables, you have to be lucky to grab one. One unique thing about the park is that the young kids play area is separated by toddlers play area which keeps ten toddlers safe and it is big peace of mind for a parent like me. The park is cleaned regularly and the grass is always trimmed. So go for it!

There was a short trail for hiking but I wouldn't recommend coming here for hiking. We still managed to get some fall colours in our photos which was nice. Remember to book your reservations online. 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!

The park is really nice and green. There's lots of do here, and great for picnics, kids etc. There's lots of grassy areas and picnic tables to set up your lunch, also you can find a spot right by the riverside. The park seems really dog friendly as well, and not sure if it was allowed, but saw lots of dogs run off the dock and jump into the water. For kids, there's also a carousel on the weekends and a small train that goes around a designated spot in the park. Parking is free. There's also the really nice Floral Clock (no flowers on it this time) and Gardens, which could be really nice for photos. It was so relaxing here and lots of explore and lots going on!
