Douro Park is thrilled to announce its 50th Anniversary, marking five decades of preserving natural beauty and providing a space for community engagement. The anniversary celebration will take place at 3:00 p.m. at 205 Douro Second Line, Douro-Dummer, ON on Sunday, September 1. 2024

Since its establishment in 1974, Douro Park has been a cherished destination for residents and visitors alike. Spanning 151 acres, this magnificent recreational property lines both banks of the beautiful Indian River. Our parks feature baseball diamonds, soccer fields, pickleball courts, tennis courts, a playground and picnic areas, and scenic landscapes that foster a deep appreciation for nature.

The anniversary event will feature a variety of activities for all ages, including:

• Welcome remarks from local officials and park advocates reflecting on the park's history and impact

“Douro Park has been a vital part of our community for 50 years, and we are excited to celebrate this milestone,” said Mayor Watson. “This event is not just about looking back; it’s about looking forward and continuing to protect and enhance this beautiful space for future generations.”

"The celebration will also highlight upcoming initiatives aimed at improving park facilities and promoting long-term ecological health." Community members are encouraged to participate and share their memories of Douro Park over the years.
