RECREATION PROGRAMS & FACILITIES:
Parks & Playgrounds

Enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors comes naturally in Lambton Shores. The serene surroundings of our parks and conservation areas provide the perfect backdrop for camping trips, and picnics. There’s plenty to keep the little ones busy too, with playground facilities at many of our local parks.

For campers and outdoor enthusiasts, the Pinery Provincial Park is one of Ontario’s premier camping facilities, and nature lovers will feel right at home in any of our three conservation areas, with several kilometers of walking trails through pristine forests
