1000 Towns of Canada:
Ajax Waterfront Park
The gem of Ajax is undeniably the Waterfront Park. Over 150 acres of green land along Lake Ontario brings thousands of visitors to its scenic borders. People frequently visit to use the park’s trails for jogging, cycling, in-line skating, or to take in the beauty of the landscape. This park is a local and community favourite gathering spot, and its humble beauty does not disappoint.

Rotary Park
Another beach park in the Ajax region, lesser known than Waterfront Park but still just as beautiful and visited is Rotary Park. Visitors enjoy this lakeside sandy beach for its quiet, cozy atmosphere, the big wild foliage growing here, and the chance to see wildlife such as geese, swans, blue herons, and ducks up close. The beauty of Southern Ontario is captured in Rotary Park, and for this reason, the park draws visitors from all over.Â

Ajax is blessed with well-maintained trails and public spaces, and this well-known spot is popular for strolls, jogging, and Veterans Day memorials. This park was named after World War II veterans who lost their lives in the war, and officials erected a monument here to honour the Forces who served Canada faithfully.
