St. Catharines has earned its reputation as Ontario?s Garden City with over
one thousand acres of public parks, gardens and trails. Over two hundred and
fifty displays with more than one hundred and ninety-five annuals and fifteen
thousand perennials are scattered throughout the city. The region is also home
of one of Canada?s largest greenhouse industries with both flower and nursery
stock production.
St. Catharines offers up a wide variety of recreational activities year round:
trails, fishing charters, cycling tours, sky diving, wind surfing, beaches,
boating, marinas, sports fields, arenas, tobogganing, skating and cross-country
skiing venues are all close at hand. Scenic greenways trace long established and
well-travelled natural corridors such as the Lake Ontario shoreline, the Twelve
Mile Creek and the Niagara Escarpment. Each trail has been designed to provide
enjoyable and convenient access to the City?s parks while incorporating
natural landscapes, larger recreational areas and various points of interest.
Since the opening of the first Welland Canal in 1933, the city has seen four
different canal systems, whether modified or newly constructed, carved into its
geographical landscape. The fourth and present-day canal forms the majority of
the city's eastern boundary. The first three of the city's canals have largely
been buried, portions of it beneath the present-day Highway 406 and Queen
Elizabeth Way. Other remnants of the original canals can still be seen in
various locations throughout the city, many of which are hidden within forested
areas designated as city parks. There has been a growing movement in recent
years to restore the original routing of the Welland Canal through the city. The
restored waterway and locks would be open to pleasure craft and create a new
tourist attraction within the city.
