Who would have thought?

You don’t expect a swimming pool in a provincial park but there it is. And a fun one at that! One of the biggest wading pool you’ve ever seen (it took me 500 steps to walk around it). It is no more deeper than 2 metres at its centre and offers beach-like entrance all around. As it get warmer later in the day, I prefer to enjoy the rest of Bronte Creek’s activities before heading to the pool later during the day.
