As the trees light up with reds and golds, Ruthven Park becomes a quiet stopover for birds on their long journey south. Early in the morning, you might spot volunteers gently banding tiny warblers and sparrows, checking their feathers, and sending them safely on their way. It’s peaceful, a little bit magical, and a great way to feel connected to the rhythm of the season. If you visit, bring a warm jacket, a thermos of something hot, and a bit of patience—you never know what birds might show up next.

Tuesdays - Thursdays: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

We're excited to announce the return of Open Streets on King in 2025! 

Join us for two amazing Sundays along the iconic King Street route, from John Street to Gage Avenue, where you can walk, cycle, roll and play along King Street East.

This year, we've extended the hours to 10 am to 4 pm to give you even more time to enjoy the route and all the activities and entertainment.

Open Streets temporarily closes selected streets to vehicular traffic, transforming them into lively spaces where people can walk, bike, skate, and engage in various activities. It's a chance to experience our city in a whole new way, promoting active living, local businesses, and community connections.

Open Streets Hamilton promotes physical activity, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion. By opening our streets to people of all ages and abilities, we create opportunities for healthier lifestyles, stronger communities, and a more vibrant city for everyone to enjoy.

The purpose of Open Streets Hamilton is to:

Promote active lifestyles 
Foster community connection 
Encourage sustainable transportation 
Support local businesses 
Enhance public space
Promote equity and inclusion
