Image of fall colours at Rocking Horse RanchThere’s lots to see and do at this horseback riding themed park inspired by a farm formerly located on the site. Visitors can chill in the stable-like shade structure, enjoy the playground, a tennis match or shoot some hoops in front of a colourful tree-lined backdrop that won’t disappoint. Take notice of all  the details in the barn board entrance signage, white picket fence and horseshoe-shaped benches. It’s a great place to let your creativity run wild! On-street parking is available. Please obey posted signage.
