Joli jardin avec de belles collections florales ; en revanche il n'est pas très grand : une bonne demi heure suffit largement à le faire

endroit sympa pour y trouver du repos

Such a beautiful location to take a stroll or to sit by the stream and listen to the water, great place to walk your dog or let your kids ride their bikes. I definitely didn't see the whole garden as we only soaked up the sun and beauty of one area for a short period of time. I'll definitely go back if I'm ever in the area again.

Visited the Oshawa Botanical Gardens today for the Peony Festival, and it was truly a beautiful experience. The gardens are exceptionally well-maintained and clean, offering a peaceful and scenic getaway right in the city.

The variety and diversity of flowers—especially the peonies—went well beyond my expectations. Every section of the garden feels carefully curated and offers something unique to admire.

The festival itself was vibrant and welcoming, with plenty of local vendors offering a wide range of unique, handmade, and specialty products. It added a lovely community feel to the natural beauty of the space.

Highly recommend this spot for a relaxing day out, whether you're a plant lover, a photography enthusiast, or just someone looking for a breath of fresh air.

Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens is a hidden gem and such a perfect spot for a relaxing day out! There’s plenty of free parking, which is a huge plus, and the place is full of photo opportunities — no surprise there were lots of people dressed up and taking pictures all around.

The picturesque bridge over the stream is especially beautiful, though it did feel like people were just standing on it forever without actually taking photos, which made it hard to get a clean shot — but that’s part of the charm of a popular spot, I guess!

The gardens are full of flowers and very well maintained, and the stream adds a peaceful vibe as you walk along. I saw lots of families with kids and dogs, and the two playgrounds (one for smaller kids, one for bigger ones) are a thoughtful touch.

Bird lovers will enjoy it too — I spotted a variety of birds just sitting and watching. Overall, it’s a wonderful place for a leisure walk, a casual picnic, or a peaceful nature break right in the city. Highly recommend!

The Oshawa Botanical Gardens are beautiful and peaceful. The grounds are well-kept, with plenty of flowers, greenery, and walking paths that make it a perfect spot for a relaxing stroll. It’s not overwhelming in size, which makes it easy to enjoy in an afternoon. The gardens feel calm and inviting, and it’s a nice place to take photos, sit, and enjoy nature right in the city. A great spot for families, couples, or anyone who just wants some fresh air and quiet time.

Very Beautiful place to visit. No tickets. Free parking available. It's small Botanical Garden but must visit place if you are in Oshawa. Enjoyed watching big fishes. Designated play area for kids.

A peaceful gem in the heart of Oshawa! The gardens are beautiful, especially during the Peony Festival in late spring. Perfect for a relaxing walk, photos, or a quiet picnic. Free entry and parking are a bonus. Best visited in May or June when flowers are in full bloom. A lovely spot to unwind in nature!
