Petticoat Creek Conservation Park is a 70-hectare lakeside conservation area on the shore of Lake Ontario in Pickering, managed by the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority (TRCA). The park offers six reservable picnic sites and shelters, access to the Waterfront Trail - part of the 730-kilometre Lake Ontario Waterfront Trail - with panoramic views from the top of the bluffs, and a natural wildlife corridor along Petticoat Creek. The site is home to 69 types of trees, including willow, oak, birch and pine, and wildlife such as white-tail deer, fox, red-tailed hawk, rabbits and squirrels. During the summer months the park hosts day camps, and private functions can be booked through TRCA's visitor services team. Pets are welcome on a leash of no more than two metres (maximum three per family).
