The jewel of downtown Burlington has something for everyone
Downtown Burlington attracts visitors and residents all year round. There is never a lack of something to do in any season. Hundreds of thousands of visitors and residents enjoy the parks, restaurants, festivals, and cultural centres. One of the most spectacular features of the downtown area is Spencer Smith Park, the flagship of Burlington’s extensive park system.
Early History
Spencer Smith Park’s history began long before Burlington was settled and Canada became a country. It has been the home and traditional territory to Indigenous peoples since time immemorial and is part of the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation.
