Free One-Day Provincial Park Access is on Friday, July 19th at 75 Parks in Ontario Canada.

The Ontario government is offering free day-use access on Friday, July 19, to mark Healthy Parks Healthy People Day.
This annual celebration is part of a global movement to promote the incredible health benefits of getting outside in nature.
As the largest provider of outdoor recreational opportunities in the province, Ontario Parks offers programs and facilities to enjoy
nature year-round – in most parks, you can go hiking, cycling, paddling, swimming and more.
The Ontario government is enhancing those recreational opportunities by building 300 new campsites and bringing electrical services to
800 existing campsites at several parks throughout the province, the largest addition of new and electrified campsites in Ontario Parks’ history. Since 2018, the province has invested $55.4 million to help maintain and build more facilities including roofed accommodations in provincial parks to help meet the demand of the province’s growing population, while ensuring an enjoyable experience for all visitors.
Throughout the summer, Ontario Parks offers numerous ways to engage with nature including:
In-park Discovery Programs allow kids and adults to gain confidence in nature and wildlife through guided
hikes to explore a new trail and other educational programs.
The 30x30 Nature Challenge encourages people to spend 30 minutes in nature for 30 days during August.
Take a Hike Day on August 10, providing guided hikes at provincial parks around the province. Visitors can join in on one of the many
events happening across the province.
To guarantee access to Healthy Parks Healthy People Day, visitors are strongly encouraged to obtain a daily vehicle permit up to five days
before the celebration, at no charge, for the 75 parks that offer this service.
