Outdoor Centre Rentals
The Outdoor Centre at Little Cataraqui Creek Conservation Area is a unique location to hold a business meeting or a special event. Easily accessible from Highway 401, it boasts spectacular views of nature, just minutes from downtown Kingston.
The West Hall in the Outdoor Centre is available for rental by businesses, organizations, and individuals. The West Hall offers your group a relaxed atmosphere with a panoramic view of the wetlands and surrounding forest. An adjoining snack bar and full kitchen allows for easy food service.
Business Meeting Rentals
Looking for a unique place to hold your next meeting, seminar, or retreat? where else can you step outside for a real breath of fresh air in the great outdoors on your coffee break. Customize your event with a nature hike, forest therapy walk, or skiing and snowshoeing in the winter. Not only will your group enjoy our natural setting, but they will return refreshed, more productive and ready to take on the rest of the day.
