THREE THINGS

1. Bronte Heritage Waterfront Park is a picturesque spot with rocky outcroppings and trails. Picnic and spend the day watching ducks, swans and boats sail by from the yacht club next door. 2340 Ontario St.

2. Sixteen Mile Sports Complex is a state- of- the- art LEED- gold quad pad arena with NHL- sized ice pads. And should you do any damage to yourself, the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital is minutes away. 3070 Neyagawa Blvd.

3. There are three schools within five kilometres of Trailside: Kendellhurst Academy ( a private preschool and grade school), Oodenawi Public School and Our Lady of Peace Catholic elementary.
