Special Events

Special events are a big part of what makes us who we are!

Summer Sunday Concerts in the Park

Every other Sunday afternoon from Victoria Day weekend until Labour Day, the park fills with the sounds of music in the Gazebo Park from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. with our Summer Sunday Concert series.

Bring your lawn chair and join us at the Gazebo to listen to fabulous local bands playing a variety of music genres.

14th Annual Fun Run & Walk Fundraiser

New for 2025, we will be hosting the Fun Run & Walk later in the season on Saturday, September 27. With both 1K and 5K options to choose from, the course loops through the Park and Zoo grounds and travels alongside the picturesque Otonabee River. 

Proceeds this year will help support accessibility improvements in our playground, as part of an exciting new project, which will be announced at the Fun Run in September. Registration is scheduled to go live on Saturday, June 7. More details coming soon!
