Exploring the Outdoors

Summer is a great time to explore Whitby’s parks and trails. Visit our interactive map or use the WhitBEE chatbot on whitby.ca to see which location is closest to you. 

While visiting our parks, please do your part to help keep our outdoor spaces as beautiful as they were when you found them by putting waste in its place or taking home what you bring. And remember, if you’re looking to use a BBQ in one of Whitby’s picnic shelters, a permit is required. Learn how to apply for a permit.
