Arnprior is fortunate to have many beautiful park spaces in our community. With this, we are able to offer three outdoor rinks this winter at Caruso Park, Sergeant Howard Slater Park, and the Sullivan Rink of Dreams at Legion Park.
We also have many trails within town and the Algonquin Trail that connects to other neighbouring municipalities. These trails are excellent for taking Lending Hub equipment on.
While not Town property, both the Gillies Grove and Macnamara Trail are both wonderful nature walks.
