Canatara playgrounds

If you’re in Sarnia and looking for a spot that actually works for the whole family, Canatara is the one locals keep coming back to. The slides are a hit with younger kids, and the shade trees do serious work on hot summer days — there’s enough covered seating that adults aren’t stuck baking in the sun while the little ones play. You’re also a short walk from the beach and lake, so it’s easy to make a full afternoon of it. Pack a lunch, grab a picnic table, and let the kids burn energy on the open grass field or the walking path before heading down to the water.
