A destination for the decades

The Belfountain Park and Conservation Area is approximately 32 hectares (79 acres) in size. It is located along the West Credit River in the village of Belfountain, part of Caledon, Ontario.

The Park features beautiful natural landscapes including the West Credit River, a suspension bridge, small waterfall, and historic features like the restored fountain and cave. Managed by the Credit Valley Conservation Authority (CVC), it is a popular destination for hiking, photography, and day trips, particularly during the fall when the autumn colours are at their peak.

Brook McIlroy were the prime consultants and landscape architects for the redesign and revitalization completed in 2022. The detailed design commission followed from the previous Master Plan prepared by Brook McIlroy for CVC. Belfountain is the most popular park in CVC's portfolio, and as a result, required substantial renovations and upgrades as a result of heavy use.
