What to do and see in Stratford, Canada: The Best Things to do Good for Kids
Named for Shakespeare's birthplace, Stratford has grown to become Canada’s premier arts town. In addition to the annual Stratford Festival, performing from April through October, Stratford is always filled with theater, music and visual arts. The preserved 19th-century architecture and acres of parks and gardens (along its own Avon River, no less) are certain to charm. Stratford has also gained a reputation for culinary creativity, showcased at some of the finest restaurants in the country.

In the heart of Stratford, is this green space. A beautiful relaxing walk along the river amongst trees and flowers. The only negative, is the amount of garbage along the shore and by the park benches. I really don’t understand why anyone would throw their trash into this area. There were tires in the river and I have no idea how they would even get there. Other than that, it is a beautiful place to spend an hour or so.
