A Message from the Mayor

Welcome to the Brock Recreation Guide for the spring and summer season of 2023. As you flip through the pages you will find a variety of multi season recreational activities for residents and visitors alike.

Whether you want to learn new skills, reach new fitness goals, or simply have fun and meet people there's truly something for everyone. Create new family memories at one of our many events or festivals. Stroll along the picturesque shorelines on Lake Simcoe or hike one of our many beautiful trails.

I would like to thank the many non-profit organizations and their army of dedicated volunteers for the work they put into providing the many services, programs, and events you will see in this guide. Volunteers and these organizations are a key cornerstone to making Brock Township such a welcoming and fun place to live and visit. Thanks to them our communities have a rich history of service to residents and visitors alike.

Make this summer one to remember on behalf of Township of Brock Council, we welcome you and your family.

Enjoy!
