Parks By-law 131-2019
In December 2019, City Council voted on and approved an updated version of our Parks By-Law, which is available to read or download (see By-Laws Online).
An important highlight from the By-Law is Section 13 referencing park hours.
13.1 Except for Park Roadways specifically designated as metered, and Lakeview Marina Park, all Parks shall close at 11:00 p.m., local time, and shall remain closed until 5:00 a.m. local time the following morning unless otherwise Posted;
13.2 No Person shall be or remain in a Park after the closing hour or before the opening hour unless authorized by Permit.
Trees on Highways By-law 135-2004
In May 2004, City Council voted on and approved the Trees on Highways By-law to regulate the planting of trees and prohibit the destruction or injuring of trees on highways in the city of Windsor or on any lands owned by the Corporation of the City of Windsor (see "Streets" at By-Laws Online).
Metal Detecting Permits are Now Available
Our winter management works have begun in Spring Garden Natural Area, Black Oak Heritage Park and Ojibway Park. This
Winter Management Works document includes a description of the work taking place. This
video on prescribed burn preparations explains the process and reason for prescribed burn breaks. Please call Ojibway Prairie Complex at 519-966-5852 with any comments or concerns.
Existing Accessible Playgrounds
The Parks Department in the City of Windsor is designing and constructing new spaces for our children to exercise, play, and imagine. While continually working to redesign, upgrade and renew our parks as places for people to relax and refresh, Parks has implemented a number of new accessible playgrounds across the city since 2012. Find one near you using MappMyCity.
