Parks, Playgrounds and Trails

Parks and Playgrounds

Plenty of sunshine and warm weather makes spending time outdoors easy in all parts of Essex. Whether you're looking for a playground for the kids or a quiet spot to read a good book, you'll find exactly the right place in one of our parks and playgrounds.

Walking and Cycling Trails

Let the growing network of scenic trails in Essex County connect you to nature and small town charm. The Chrysler Canada Greenway and the Cypher Systems Group Greenway are part of a regional trail system that includes municipal links and CWATS Trail connectors. Find out more about trails on our Cycling page.

Dog Park

Your pups will love to run in our off-leash dog park. This fenced space near the Essex Centre Sports Complex (60 Fairview Avenue West) consists of an enclosed and grassed area with an additional fenced entrance that allows you to leash your dog before exiting the park. The park is self-policed and guidelines are clearly posted.
