Experience an Autumn of Openings in East Gwillimbury

The Town of East Gwillimbury (EG) is excited to celebrate the start of a new season with various parks and trail openings throughout town. This fall, we’re celebrating the completion of two redeveloped park projects, new tennis courts, a disc golf course, and a new trail in Queensville with official opening events and celebrations. We invite our community to join us at these events to explore these new spaces, gather with neighbours and experience the beautiful outdoors in EG.
