Take advantage of the playground equipment, grassy areas and natural elements in the summer. Taking a walk once the season has turned colder is a great way to see the variety of plants, trees and vegetaion Crossfield's pathway/parks system has to offer.

Signs are located throughout the town, mapping the extensive pathway system, parks and sidewalks. Following signs along the pathway in the north will lead you to the southwest end of town and the dog park, fishing ponds and Collicutt Siding Golf Club.
