Everything was covered in snow and the view felt so peaceful and calm. It’s a great place for a walk any time of the year.

Very good park in St. Thomas, there is a lake I'm the park in which you fish in, and also a water fall. The park isn't very big but has a lot to see.

We were on the lookout for a perfect spot to have a BBQ, where the kids could run around, and we stumbled upon Pinafore Park by chance. It turned out to be an amazing discovery! The park is absolutely beautiful and so well-kept. There's a fantastic playground packed with fun things for the kids to play on, plus some spacious pavilions where we could enjoy a picnic and relax. We ended up taking lots of gorgeous photos amidst the colorful flowers and stunning scenery. We can’t wait to visit again!

We absolutely loved our visit to **Pinafore Park**! It was the perfect spot for a fun and relaxing day out with my wife and son. The park is beautifully maintained, with lush greenery, scenic walking paths, and plenty of space for kids to run around and explore. Our son had a blast at the playground, which was clean, safe, and full of fun equipment to keep him entertained. We enjoyed a lovely day by the water, watching the ducks and taking in the peaceful atmosphere. The splash pad was also a huge hit—perfect for cooling off on a warm day! What really stood out was how well-kept and family-friendly the entire park was. There were clean restrooms and ample seating. Whether you're looking for a place to unwind, play, or just enjoy nature, Pinafore Park is a fantastic choice. We’ll definitely be back soon! Highly recommend for families!🌳👨👩👦💙

Before you hire a pool builder in Ontario

Pool building itself is not a licensed trade, but the electrical work is, and the enclosure permit is mandatory.

Municipal pool enclosure permit

Required in essentially every Ontario municipality, usually before excavation begins. Bylaws specify fence height, gate self-closing and self-latching hardware, and how soon the enclosure must be in place. Enforcement is real and the liability if a child accesses an unfenced pool is severe.

Verify with: Your municipality's building or bylaw department.

ESA notification for pool electrical and bonding

Pool electrical must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor, and the metal structure must be bonded. This requires an ESA notification and inspection.

Verify with: The Electrical Safety Authority, esasafe.com.

Check Pinafore Park on the official register

Utility locates before excavation

Legally required. Gas and hydro service lines cross yards at unpredictable depths.

Verify with: Ontario One Call.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Excavation near a house foundation carries real risk. Confirm coverage amounts.
