Parks and Recreation provides residents and visitors with over 2,800 acres of green space in 215 parks featuring magnificent gardens, over 35 sculptures, numerous fountains, sport fields playgrounds, and picnic areas. We aim to beautify our community by planting formal gardens, boulevards and the riverfront with thousands of flowers, plants, and shrubs.

The Windsor Trail, an interlocking network of biking and walking trails, currently extends along the Detroit River and links many neighbourhoods. Our hope is that the Windsor Trail will eventually encircle the entire city.

Parks and Recreation is also the guardian of many different naturalized parks including Ojibway Praire Complex. 

Parks and Recreation is responsible for the care and maintenance of the urban forest with 60,000 trees on streets and an additional 35,000 trees in parks and public spaces. Our mission is to provide safe and clean parks and play spaces for people living in and visiting our community.
