Ontario Working To Open First New Provincial Park In 40 Years

In the 2023 Ontario Budget, the Province of Ontario is looking to ‘Build a stronger Ontario’. Part of that plan is to open the first new full-service operating provincial park in 40 years.

Ontario is also building stronger and healthier communities by expanding recreational opportunities for families to enjoy. This is why the government is actively taking steps to open the first new, full‐service, operating provincial park in 40 years. The new park will offer four‐season facilities and recreational activities including swimming, hiking, cross‐country skiing, and add 250 new campsites to the Ontario Parks system. The location of the park and its facilities is in the process of being finalized.

We look forward to the announcement which apparently is coming in the ‘very near future’ and hopefully includes some backcountry campsites.
