Tourism Information

Windsor, the southernmost city in both Ontario and Canada, is wonderful to explore on foot or bicycle.

From the large scale contemporary sculptures located in the Odette Sculpture Park to naturalized gardens, Windsor parks feature elegant flower gardens, heritage monuments, and fountains.
The Charles Brooks Memorial Peace Fountain in Coventry Gardens and Reaume Park is the only international floating fountain in Canada. The contemporary reflecting pool and fountain in Bert Weeks Memorial Gardens is adjacent to downtown and within walking distance of the naturalized waterfall in Dieppe Gardens and the traditional Italian fountain in Plaza Udine.
