Recreation and Culture

There's a lot to see and do in the Township of Springwater! Our trails, conservation areas, and parks and playgrounds are a great way to spend time outdoors.

Looking for something special to do? Spend the day exploring Springwater's history and heritage sites, go fishing, join a fitness class or visit the library. You can also check out our community calendar for upcoming special events, festivals and activities.

Recreation guide

We publish two seasonal recreation guides each year, filled with fitness classes, camps, recreation programs and special events. You can pick up a hard copy of your guide at the Township Administration Centre, Elmvale Arena or any Springwater Public Library branch.

• The Master Cultural Plan and key findings identify, promote and leverage cultural resources to support economic and community development projects.
