Join us at Ford Neighbourhood Park, year-round and in all weather, to experience the park in a different and surprising way. Educators will facilitate a variety of activities including exploration, art, science, music, and coordination. Children will try different activities on their own or make new friends and discoveries together. Thursdays at Ford are not your average visit to the park, Thursday is THRILL DAY AT FORD PARK! Please dress according to the weather, bring snacks and beverages. A change of clothes may also be a good idea as kids sometimes surprise us with how messy and wet they can get.

Age: All Ages Welcome

Wednesdays - 9:30am - 10:45am at Ford Neighbourhood Park, 1400 Leger Way, Milton

Digging in the Dirt

Teaching children about gardening fosters a love for nature, promotes hands-on learning, and cultivates life skills like patience, observation, and responsibility, all while connecting them to the natural world. Join us at the Viola garden as we explore our garden, observe the living things that can be found there, plant seeds, and see what grows. Please come prepared for messy play as we really will be digging in the dirt!
This program will end for the season on Monday, September 29th and will resume in April 2026.

Age: 0-6 Years

Mondays - 9:00am-11:00am at 1450 Leger Way, Milton ON

Join us on an exploration through the natural nooks and crannies of Mother Earth guided by our Educators. See what nature has to offer by both walking, as well as taking time to pause in nature's treed areas of exploration at Millpond. Noticing, slowing down, exploring, and digging are ways we can discover what Mother Nature has in store for us at Millpond. This program runs in all-weather so please dress appropriately. Meet by the open field parking lot.

Age: All Ages Welcome

Fridays - 9:30am-1:00pm at Rotary Park, 100 Garden Lane.
