Township parks, trails and greenspaces are open and permitted for some recreational purposes.
Baseball diamonds and soccer fields will be available for non-team sports such as walking, running, biking, playing Frisbee or kicking a ball. Individuals are not permitted to play team sports, such as soccer or baseball, even on fields intended for this purpose unless they are members of the same household. Individuals using these amenities, except for members of the same household, are required to maintain a physical distance of at least two metres or six feet. Sports fields are not being groomed, maintained or inspected, so please use at your own discretion. Dogs are not permitted on sports fields under any circumstances. As per the May 20 Communication.
Parks, facilities, and recreation services play a vital role in helping residents maintain a healthy lifestyle. In Wilmot Township, there is a diverse range of recreational opportunities and physical activities available for residents and visitors alike, which helps to keep our community vibrant and engaged. Broadly speaking, these include:
- Community Centres (e.g. New Dundee Community Centre, New Hamburg Community Centre, etc.)
- Parks (playgrounds, sports fields, park amenities) and open spaces
- Wilmot Recreation Complex
- Nature trails and pathways
To ensure that these opportunities continue to serve Wilmot's current and future population, the Township is undertaking a Parks, Facilities, and Recreation Services Master Plan to guide the development of parks, facilities, and recreation opportunities over the next ten years. This process will provide Wilmot with the most up-to-date insight on community needs, and effective ways to deliver services, programs, and more.
