Family Life
Windermere Beach Regional Park on the shore of Lake Windermere has a large beach with a swimming area, picnic tables, manicured grassy area, a playground, and washroom facilities. The park features fantastic views of the lake and nearby mountains. The lake itself is used for a variety of recreational activities besides swimming, such as boating, sailing, fishing, windsurfing, kayaking, and sail boarding. Another popular spot for families is the Copper City Amusement Park, which offers a miniature golf course, bumper boats, go-karts, and a concession area with snacks and beverages. The park often holds special events, and has a beautiful picnic area that can be booked for parties and other gatherings.
The Windermere Community Hall is a venue used by residents for events such as community meetings, weddings, musical theatre productions, and other special events/festivals. The hall is licenced and includes tables, a stage with lighting, a stocked kitchen area, patio areas with a barbeque, a sound system, a piano, room for a dance floor, and restrooms. One of the annual events held at the hall is the Windermere Fall Fair and Scarecrow Festival, which includes food, live music, contests, races, exhibitions, and a beer garden. Funds raised from the event go to support the Windermere Community Association, which brings community members together to discuss issues affecting Windermere as well as to plan events that will celebrate the community and entertain residents.
