Parky a příroda v Hamiltonu

Parks and Nature

Hamilton’s landscape is defined by the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve that creates dramatic cliffs and over 100 waterfalls. This collection features the Royal Botanical Gardens, Canada’s largest botanical garden, alongside the historic Gage Park and the waterfront trails of Bayfront Park. Nature enthusiasts can explore the wetlands of Cootes Paradise at Princess Point or take in panoramic views of the city and harbor from the edge of the escarpment at Sam Lawrence Park.
