Water Street
Newmarket ON L3Y 4X7
Canada
Fairy Lake and Fairy Lake Park, on Water Street, serve residents and visitors as an urban oasis in the heart of Newmarket.
The lake itself was made by Newmarket's earliest settlers who built a mill in the early 1800s at the foot of Main Street. The 13.4 hectares of parkland, waterways and marshland are also known as Wesley Brooks Conservation Area and includes the dam at the Water Street bridge, which is used for the purpose of flood control.
While strolling through Fairy Lake Park, you will discover playgrounds (near Cane Parkway), picnic areas and beautiful walking trails along the Tom Taylor Trail winding around the lake, over bridges and through well-maintained parkland. The park has a pavilion offering shelter and washrooms, chess/checker tables and a barbecue site.
Fairy Lake Park is open year-round and is free of charge.
Parking is available:
- Inside the park, south of Water Street (non-event days)
- Near Riverwalk Commons on Doug Duncan Drive
