• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to Parks & Gardens in Burlington, VT, Vermont.
Waterfront Park
Located in downtown Burlington, this park is the center of the action. With 900 feet of lakeshore, this community park and beach features bike paths, boat launch and a full-service marina. The area is popular for picnics, walks and sunbathing. As well, many events are held here throughout the year.
Leddy Park
Leddy Park is a large park that includes a beach, indoor ice rink, tennis courts, playground and baseball fields. The park itself is rich with plant and animal life. Plants like Red Trillium and Wood Anemone brighten the landscape. Visitors should also keep their eyes peeled for animals like squirrels, chipmunks, raccoons, opossums, rabbits, moles, red foxes and perhaps even a very elusive moose.
North Beach
North Beach is open from the end of May until Labor Day and offers a grassy picnic area with tables, grills and a park. Restrooms, showers and snack bar are also open in season. Swimming in the water is permitted and a life guard is on duty. The water is tested for quality at the beach weekly during the summer to ensure it is safe for swimming.
Oakledge Park
Located at the waterfront, this park features a swimming beach. Its shoreline is largely rocky but that makes for scenic vistas as well. The park is home to a playground, tennis courts, ball and sport fields, walking trails, picnic shelters and restrooms. One special feature of the park is a treehouse, which rests with a white oak tree, 15 feet from the ground.
