PEDESTRIAN TRAIL SYSTEM

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.

COMMUNITY PARKS & SPORTS FACILITIES

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

DAVID TOMLINSON NATURE RESERVE

The David Tomlinson Nature Reserve consists of marshland, openwater ponds, meadows and fores ts 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.
