Bert Weeks Memorial Gardens (Windsor)


Name: Bert Weeks Memorial Gardens
Location: Riverside Drive East (between Parent & Langlois), Windsor
Website: http://www.citywindsor.ca/

Dog Notes:

  • Must use leash
  • Dogs are not allowed in the fountain area (phooey!)
  • There are few garbage cans on the trail so you may have to carry your bags
  • Waste bags are available at some entry points
  • Washrooms are available during the day (close to Parent Ave) but bring your own water
  • Paved trails (1.2 km round trip if you go from the parking lot on Parent to the end of the eastern trail and back)

Family Notes:
  • Lots of benches and lots of shady areas
  • Sun dial and water fountains with lots of seating
  • Some shade along the waterfront but mostly open
  • Connects to Hatch Memorial Wildflower Gardens with information signs
  • Walk, run, bike or rollerblade (fully accessible)
  • Washrooms are open during the day
Notes: Bring a lot of water as the majority of the trail is in direct sunlight. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed in the fountain area so you have to stay on the path along Riverside or along the waterfront while your family enjoys a close up of the fountain.
