Stouffville, ON is a serene community with a lot of green spaces and heavily forested areas filled with small rivers and lakes. These coupled up with the local parks make this urban community a great recreational destination for many people. These features are also attracting many people to the area in search of permanent residency away from the rather overpopulated cities that surround Stouffville ON. Another feature that has made this community a standout is its location midway between Lake Ontario and Lake Simcoe, giving it an apparent advantage of accessibility from both sides and access to more attractions and parks for its residents. However, we’ll concentrate more on the major parks and green spaces within Stouffville and the larger Whitchurch-Stouffville area of Ontario province.
Rupert Park
Located at 442 Rupert Avenue, Rupert Park is 24-hour all Year Park that acts a recreational hub for the locals.

There are numerous benches and tables and a small Hill used for tobogganing during winter. The park offers an open view and lots of free space for the kids to run around and play.
Bruce’s Mill Conservation Park
Located at 3291 Stouffville Road, BMCA is more of a conservation area than a regular park but it’s definitely one of the most visited recreational areas within Whitchurch–Stouffville town. This 267-acre conservation boasts of a diverse ecosystem including extensive wetlands, and a whopping 44 hectares covered in coniferous, deciduous and mixed forest vegetation. Bruce’s Mill Conservation Park dates back to 1961 managed/owned by the TRCA, featuring two historical structures, and a variety of activities which include various natural attractions, picnic areas, hiking trails, baseball and soccer fields, great views, bird watching, a BMX track and a breathtaking aerial Treetop Trekking course among other things.
The park charges a small entry fee during weekends on the regular season but entry is free during weekdays. Though the regular season is between mid-April to Thanksgiving weekend, the park opens briefly during the spring period to host the locally famous Maple Syrup Festival. Private Onsite picnic areas for large groups of people are available upon booking during the regular season. These picnic spots can hold a party or event of between 100 to 300 people.
