PICNICKING
Confederation Beach Park’s beautiful lakefront location makes it a popular spot for summer picnics and gatherings.

As a City of Hamilton property managed by HCA, no fees are collected for entrance to the park, however, there are certain requirements for planning picnics, events and other special occasions. This allows Confederation Beach Park to better manage the different user groups and ensures that your group can be accommodated, rather than face the possibility of being turned away if prior arrangements have not been made.  It also ensures that staffing levels are appropriate for the level of visitors entering the park that day, so that we can keep Confederation Beach Park clean, safe and enjoyable for all.
