About Monarch Trail

in 2015, the Municipality of Leamington partnered with Point Pelee National Park to install monarch habitat in 18 plant beds along 2 km of a popular existing trail. Officially named “The Leamington Monarch Trail,” it is a milkweed and nectar habitat installation which includes trilingual interpretive signage (English, French and Spanish) to communicate the importance of monarch habitat to the conservation of the species to Leamington’s diverse population. Thanks to the enthusiasm of over 250 volunteers, this project swiftly saw success, with monarch caterpillars observed on the habitat within three months of the initial planting.

AKO Park

Originally established as Rossini Park in 1951, the Alpha Kai Omega (AKO) Fraternity began exploring how to become involved in the future development of the park when the City was constructing an athletic building on the site. In 1961, the neighbourhood centre was constructed as the first facility in Windsor designed specifically as a community centre. In 2007, the centre was renamed the Constable John Atkinson Memorial Community Centre, in honour of Constable John Atkinson, Windsor Police Services, who was killed in the line of duty. AKO Park has an outdoor spray pad featuring 22 different water toys, which are computer programmed for a sequence of water fun. The spray pad is open to the public at no charge from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Community Centre is available for birthday parties. For inquires, please call 519-945-2452.
