Windows-to-the-Lake are small park settings along the shoreline, connecting Burlington residents to Lake Ontario. They are a place to meet, take a rest, observe nature, listen to the waves, watch weather move across the water, and enjoy the beauty of sunsets over the lake.

The City will be enhancing these connections to the water over the next two years.  Each site renewal will provide, at minimum, a paved pathway and accessible seating.
