Crown Hill, Ontario is a Fun-Filled Neighbourhood

Crown Hill is located at the municipal boundaries of Springwater and Oro-Medonte, just outside the northern city limits of Barrie. Before the provincial highway downloads of 1997, Highway 11 left its expressway route through Oro-Medonte at Crown Hill, transferring onto Penetanguishene Road for the remainder of its southerly route into Barrie and Toronto. Due to its proximity to Barrie, residents have the pleasure of enjoying the following areas. Information can be found here.

Waterfront Barrie and Centennial Park

Barrie’s waterfront is definitely among the most attractive of any city in Ontario. Wrapping around Kempenfelt Bay, Barrie’s mostly-manicured waterfront has been a decades-long project that stretches six kilometers from Johnsons’ Beach on the north shore, all the way to Minet’s Point Park on the south shore. It’s joined end-to-end by mostly paved, level footpaths and walkways. Along the way, you’ll pass plenty of green space in which to stop and relax. Also including quieter parks on the extremities and the attractive Heritage Park with its pavilions and ponds. See here for information about Midhurst is a Small Yet Majestic and Thriving Community.

Arboretum Sunnidale Park

Barrie’s Arboretum Sunnidale Park is another pleasant green space to explore. Occupying a former golf course and close to the city’s “Golden Mile” shopping district on Bayfield Street, Sunnidale is the city’s largest park and, in addition to its arboretum, offers plenty of other activities, from sports to gardening at the community garden.
