Need more ideas with what to do with your children this summer? Here are five more suggestions!
Be
a Puddle Duck
You can rent canoes or kayaks from Speed
River Paddling and explore the Speed and Eramosa Rivers, or you can rent
paddleboats at the Guelph Lake Conservation Area. If you deicide you’d rather
be in the water than on it, you can swim at the conservation area, or at the
West End Rec Centre, the Victoria Road Rec Centre, or Centennial High School
during public swim times. In the summer, come by City Hall to play in the
fountain or visit a splash pad.
Admission and Hours of Operation:
Rec Centres: for hours of operation and applicable prices.

Pumpkins!

shows…the list goes on!
