Summer

Water Fun

Lake Lisgar Waterpark; 16 Ross St, Tillsonburg (View Map)

Lake Lisgar Waterpark is the ultimate destination for family fun. This accessible heated pool features a graduated entrance, spray features, and a 186' giant twister waterslide.

Splash Pads

Need a cool down fix stat? Your kids will adore the outdoor splash pads. Grab a patch of grass as they splash around in shallow waters, underwater features and climb all over jungle gym equipment. 

Outdoor Pools

If you're feeling nostalgic for days gone by, consider hitting up an outdoor pool this summer. These outdoor pools are reminiscent of the 50s and 60s when locals would flock to community pools in the summer and are true taste of the good ol' days. 

Check out some other outdoor activities here.

Pick Your Own Farms

When fresh berries, veggies, flowers, and more are in high season, there's nothing like getting them right from the ground.  Sometimes a little hard work goes a long way when you're talking fresh and local produce and flowers.

Take it to the next level with some of these experiences:

Golf

Tee off at Oxford golf courses! From the advanced to the green beginner, the scenic courses in Oxford are just the spot for your next round.  Select from a variety of 9- and 18-hole courses fit to spend a day or an afternoon.
