Peterborough’s Ecology Park is a unique place for people of all ages to discover a lasting friendship with the natural world. It is a centre for researching new ways of caring for the places where we live, work and play, based on restoring balance and long-term health.
As we step into a modern world full of technology and rapid change, it is especially important to learn how to provide for our needs, while leaving behind a vibrant, healthy world for future generations.
There is much to discover at the Ecology Park. You can learn how trees grow, how to keep an attractive yard using little water, how to stretch your grocery budget by growing your own vegetables, and much more. Join in the fun at our special events, or make a unique craft at one of our workshops. Or, you can just go for a stroll, relax and enjoy the beauty of the gardens and the fresh air.
