I can keep looking at the Salmon go back to their spawning area for hours and hours. The Owen Sound Tourism is doing a good job at promoting this event.
If you visit Owen Sound make sure not to miss Harrrison Park. It is beautiful both summer and winter. If you visit around Christmas time the Festival of Northern Lights is great
We love walking around this park when we are in Owen Sound for dinner. We usually go to DQ and enjoy the park at one of the picnic tables.
Harrison Park is a treasure for the community. When the Christmas lights are on, it's really fun. But the highlight is the story of the nativity with lights set to music - it's delightful must-see.
This iconic Owen Sound park is great for families and picnics. There is an ice rink free to the public in winter and a decent restaurant as well as tons of wildlife. Great spot!
Made a quick stop to the park to play on the swings. This park has something to do for all ages of children.
As a local I love coming down here almost daily to feed my favourite goose and the other birds. On a lazy hot afternoon I'll enjoy mini putt or a nice meal at the Harrison Park Inn...they even have a take out window. Kayaking is great here since the water is not fast moving and shallow, which is great for tourists since there are kayak, paddle boat and canoe rentals. Weaver's Creek waterfall and Inglis Falls waterfall are close by as well...you can even hike to them!
There was little open in town on the Sunday evening we arrived. We were directed to the park for a late dinner. We were pleased to find an interesting bird sanctuary to visit and lovely trails to stroll. This would be a great place for young families with a very well equipped playground.
Playground, basketball court, paddle boats, outdoor pool, restaurant, waterfall, tennis court, water fountains, gardens, mini-golf, and probably a few more things I'm forgetting to mention, haha. This is a great spot for families with young kids and should be a top destination while visiting Owen Sound.
I dropped in for lunch the other day and had the deluxe hamburger and fries. Normally when I come here there is a long wait before you get your food, but that day it was relatively on time. My friend had a toasted western and she said it was delicious. My meal was great. Reasonably priced.
