Peter Fenton Place

Part of Crosby Park, this spot pulls double duty as a solid kids’ playground and a proper off-leash area for dogs — which means it gets a decent crowd on weekends. Pack something to cook because the BBQ and picnic tables make it easy to stretch out a visit. The walking path connects you back through to the main park, so it’s worth doing a lap. Good for families, dog owners, or honestly just anyone after a low-key afternoon in Hamilton.
