McDonald Sports Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Despite its name, this area offers more than just sports fields. Trails wind through open green space, small wooded sections, and wetland habitat, creating an easy and family-friendly walk. Benches and picnic areas provide plenty of places to stop along the way, while the wide paths are popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists. It's a good option when you're looking for a shorter outing close to the city without venturing far from amenities.

Lake Thomas

Highlight • Lake

Lake Thomas brings a scenic stretch of shoreline to McDonald Sports Park, with several trails weaving through mature forest beside the water. Openings in the trees provide views across the lake, while benches and picnic tables offer quiet spots to stop along the way. The lake is a popular destination for paddling and wildlife watching, and the combination of wooded trails and lakeside scenery makes this one of the most picturesque sections of the park.
