When living in a city, finding green space can be tough. You are surrounded by gorgeous architecture and have everything you need close by, but it’s natural to yearn for lush, open spaces sometimes. If you long to feel grass under your toes, but want the convenience of apartment living, be sure to choose a home near a few parks.
Living close to a park is great for your mental and physical health. When you need to unwind, pack a picnic or your favorite book and spend some time in the fresh air. Parks also provide an outdoor space to exercise and play sports for those who don’t have a yard (or who want to make new friends!). Having a space to be physically active and explore nature is especially beneficial for children. It has even been shown to reduce behavioral problems.
Parks are also a community hub where you can enjoy activities with family, friends, and neighbours. From celebrating a birthday outdoors, to catching up with an old friend, to taking part in a community event, parks provide endless hours of entertainment. When you live near a park, you can swap your screens for a more memorable experience any time of year.
The best part? All the fun that parks provide is totally free! There’s no need for a gym membership when you can run a trail or play a game of pickup basketball. Why go to the movies when you can people-watch on your favorite bench? Whether you want to relax or get your heart pumping, there’s something for everyone.
Stoney Creek Towers is located just steps from Lake Avenue Park, Henry & Beatrice Warden Park, Sam Manson Park and Riverdale East Park. These beautiful outdoor spaces come with a wide variety of amenities including play equipment, sports fields, picturesque scenery, and more. If you call this building home, you’ll be able to reap the perks of living close to some of Hamilton’s most beautiful parks!
