Services
of the Parks and Recreation Department
-
Programs - The Parks and Recreation Department offers
recreation programs throughout the year. These programs are
located at both town and Wayne Central School facilities. All programs are advertised in a
program guide that is sent to every
resident of Ontario three times a year: Summer, Fall/Winter and
Spring.
-
Casey Park - Located at 6551 Knickerbocker Road,
approximately 1 mile north of Route 104, 3 miles south of Lake
Road. The park is available for family picnics, ball games,
swimming, boating (canoe and paddle boat rental), and
nature walks or hiking. We now have picnic kits ( a bag filled
with a soccer ball, bases, bat, bocce set, kickball, horseshoes,
volleyball, frisbee & whiffle ball) all for a $9.00 rental
charge. Open year round, 9:00AM to dusk. Swimming is only
permitted when lifeguards are on duty.
-
Ontario Community Center - Located in Casey Park, and scheduled to open in November 2008.
The Community Center offers healthy lifestyle options for
area residents of all ages. The main building houses a fitness
center, classrooms, locker rooms and offices. The facility also
includes a 12,800 sq. ft. indoor turf arena, an 8,500 sq. ft.
gymnasium, and an indoor walking track. Memberships are
available.
-
Bear
Creek/Thompson Park - Bear Creek/Thompson Park is located
at the Harbor on Lake Road between Knickerbocker Road and Furnace
Road. It offers boat-launching facilities, with a permit.
There is also a large grassy area along the lakeshore, which is
suitable for picnics or just enjoying the view of Lake Ontario.
LAUNCHING PERMITS are available at the Ontario Town Clerk's
Office. The fee is $15.00 for residents and $50.00 for
non-residents, for yearly permits. Day launching permits are
available during the boating season at $5.00 a day.
-
Ontario September Club
- Ontario September Club meetings are held
on the first and third Wednesday of the month in Casey Park. Any
senior interested in trips, educational presentations, euchre
tournaments, or just socializing, is welcome to attend. For
additional information please contact the Parks and Recreation Office.
-
Ontario Senior Site
- The Ontario Senior Site is located at Brown
Square Recreation Room. The site provides a nutritious meal and
social atmosphere for all senior citizens. Suggested donation for
the meal is $2.50, but no one will be turned away based on inability
to pay. The site also offers
daily activities. Call the Parks and Recreation Office to find
out more.
