Greetings from the Mayor’s office! I’m thrilled to present the Spring and Summer 2025 Program Guide. This season, we’re offering a fantastic array of activities and programs to keep you active, healthy, and engaged.
At the Town, we are as committed as ever to providing diverse and inclusive recreational opportunities. Whether you’re interested in physical fitness, exploring your artistic side, or joining community events, this guide is your key to exciting spring and summer.
We’re especially thrilled to be offering some really dynamic programs this season, including Swim Development, Minis in Motion, Rhythm Makers, Confident Leaders, Fit Minds and more.
I really do encourage everyone to take full advantage of these amazing offerings, as they’re wonderful opportunities to learn something new, connect with neighbours, and create lasting memories in our beautiful town. Our community flourishes when we come together, and your participation helps us build a strong, vibrant Aurora.

The Town of Aurora is fortunate to have an extensive pedestrian trail system which connects many of its neighbourhood parks, Town facilities and open space corridors. Presently the Town maintains approximately 62 kilometers of trails.
Come out and enjoy a leisurely hike through the natural valley land setting of mixed forests, meadows and wetland habitats of the Holland River Valley. This is Aurora’s longest trail corridor stretching from Evans Park on Bayview Avenue south of Vandorf Sideroad all the way up to St. John’s Sideroad and includes the Tim Jones Trail (Nokiidaa Trail), the Klaus Wehrenberg Trail as well as the Sheppard’s Bush trails. These trails link municipal facilities such as the Town Hall, the Senior’s Centre and the Aurora Family Leisure Complex, as well as the Aurora Community Centre, Sheppard’s Bush, and Lambert Willson Park.
Other significant trails include the Lakeview/Willow Farm Trail located within the forested hills of St. Andrews in northwest Aurora, the David Tomlinson Nature Reserve Trail in the Marsh Creek valley lands of northeast Aurora, and currently under construction, the Highland Gate trail in the former Highland Gates Golf Course lands.
All Aurora trails are considered multi-use, with the primary focus being pedestrian hikers. Opportunities also exist for cross country skiers. The majority of our trails are compact gravel surfaces with some asphalt sections through neighbourhood and community parks. Please note that our trails are not groomed or maintained during winter months, and conditions vary widely. Surface conditions can change dramatically during the winter to create potentially hazardous hiking and skiing conditions. All users are advised to respect other trail users, to stay on designated trails and to exercise caution at all times.
The town currently has over 75 parks and open space areas including 44 playgrounds encompassing over 700 acres, 5 children’s water-play splash pads, 35 soccer fields, 18 ball diamonds and a wide variety of other recreational activities. Please come out and enjoy what Aurora has to offer! Full details at www.aurora.ca/parksandtrails
The David Tomlinson Nature Reserve consists of marshland, openwater ponds, meadows and forests in the Marsh Creek valley lands located between Bayview Avenue and Leslie Street, north of Wellington Street East. Main access points include the Stronach Aurora Recreation Centre and Johnathan Bales Parkette.
Park users should note that much of the nature reserve contains environmentally sensitive areas and habitat for many species of flora and fauna, and the intent is to restrict pedestrian access to these areas to allow nature to flourish. We request that park users stay on the trails and respect the truly unique features that are contained within the nature reserve. Viewing platforms have been provided at
two critical locations and have been designed to screen pedestrians from wildlife that would otherwise be startled should pedestrians remain in plain view. Additional native trees and shrubs will be planted over the next few years to help buffer pedestrian activity from environmentally sensitive areas.
Would you like to establish “Lasting Roots” in your community? Are you lo oking for a unique gift idea for that special person or occasion? Perhaps you feel like making an investment in greening your community? If so, we encourage you to contact the Parks Division to find out more about the memorial tree planting and park bench dedication program. Please call 365-500-3134 or email sking@aurora.ca.
Did you know that the Adopt-A-Park program provides local businesses, community groups and residents with the opportunity to enhance the environment and beautify our town by assisting with the maintenance and developement of Aurora’s parks and trail systems?
Adopt-A-Park continues to:
• Create opportunities for citizens to support our parks and green spaces.
•Share the responsibility for a clean community.
•Develop opportunities for youth involvement.
•Build community pride and a sense of ownership in our parklands.
There are a number of ways to become involved in this exciting program. Please contact the Parks Division at 365-500-3134 for further information or email sking@aurora.ca.
