For my first post I would like to offer something close to home. As a recent Brock University grad and a current Niagara College student, the Glenridge Quarry (located directly across the street from Brock University) is a perfect example of something often ignored by local Brock students. If you are looking for a great place to jog, take the dog for a walk, or simply take a brief study break to get some fresh air, visit the Glenridge Quarry.
Environmental Initiative:
The Glenridge Quarry Naturalization site was one of Ontario’s first comprehensive “Green Sites”. It was once a municipal landfill site that has been covered up and turned into a wildlife habitat and environmental education and recreation site.
About the Trails:
 |
| Large Clay Borrow Pit Pond |
There are 7 loops up to 2 km long. If you are looking for
something with more terrain, walk to the Summit Overlook to get a nice view of
St. Catharines. The Large Clay Borrow Pit Pond includes a beautiful boardwalk. There
is also a Children’s Science and Nature Area with games and a small playground and a picnic area with picnic tables.
