LEISURE TIME & RECREATIONAL FACILITIES

West Perth boasts a large park area for its size in Canada.  The majority of this scenic green land lies along the beautiful Thames River.  There are more than 55 acres of groomed parkland with annuals and perennials.  Mature trees provide lunchtime shade for picnickers.

If an active lifestyle is more to your liking, you'll enjoy the variety of recreational facilities maintained by the Parks and Recreation Department.  West Perth supports many sports teams and athletic clubs.  Whether you are watching or competing, West Perth's teams provide hours of exciting fun.  West Perth's minor hockey league has produced several NHL stars, including Howie Morenz of the Montreal Canadiens and Dan Gloor of the Vancouver Canucks.
