Saw a small snake as soon as we got there, cute little thing. The colours were amazing and great for photographers. The walk around the lake is short but beautiful. There's washrooms, food, lots of people when we went. There was also plenty of parking even though it seemed that there was a lot of people. Places to sit along your walk as well.

Wonderful park with plenty of space and a few looping paths to walk along. A great place to visit any time of year! During the summer there are often plays, markets and artisan festivals that are alot of fun. The main path through the park is paved so strollers, bikes, wheelchairs and roller blades have no issue!

Beautiful park in the heart of Newmarket. Fairy Lake and Fairy Lake Park, on Water Street, serve residents and visitors as an urban oasis in the heart of historic downtown 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 include the dam at the Water Street bridge, which is used for the purpose of flood control.

View from trail showing lights from water street during late spring around dusk, silhouettes are to die for on the south east end of the trail. Definitely photo worthy and great for a walk any time of day
