The Wildwood trails are groomed for classic and skate. In recent years walking trails have been added to encourage physical activity in a variety of ways, and signage was added. Three main entrance sites are available:
The Wildewood Club at the corner of the Wildewood Golf Course (North Drive at Netley), with a good parking area next to the Tennis Club.
The corner of Netley and Oakenwald, with some on street parking at Netley and Oakenwald.
The corner of Oakenwald and North Drive, close to the Wildwood Park Community Centre, with on street parking.
The ski trails are tracked by CCSAM, and costs are shared by the The Wildwood Community Centre and St Johns-Ravenscourt School.
Envelopes are available at the various entry points for people to make additional donations to help defray the grooming costs. Trail grooming costs ~$3500 every season.
Donations can be made out to the Wildwood Park Community Club, and an income tax receipt will be sent out for the supporting gift.
Contact Harvey Peltz hpeltz@mymts.net or Bob Stewart riveredge@mts.net for more information.We thank walkers (and their dogs) for using the walking trails which are signed. Walking on ski trails (both the tracks and the packed areas) damages them. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Wildwood Community Centre 4 months, 2 weeks agoThe jackrabbit coaches did a ski last night. Super fun, but super sketchy. Lots of portaging over grass necessary. Lakes everywhere. Not for the faint of heart. And with the rain today, the trails are likely done. Thanks for another great season!

Wildwood Community Centre 5 months, 1 week agoWildwood has been tracked. Classic tracks are great and had reasonably good glide (or am I getting faster???).

Wildwood Community Centre 5 months, 1 week agoFrom Al Stewart on Sunday morning:
A very bright and sunny classic ski at Wildewood on Saturday afternoon. Zero glide as the tracks are shallow, washed out and covered in a layer of fine super cold wind blown snow. There were a few other folks out, mainly on the centre loops. -

It looked like it may have been groomed Saturday evening as the skiing was quite good Sunday versus Saturday.

Wildwood Community Centre 6 months, 2 weeks agoFrom Al Stewart on Tuesday evening:
I had the pleasure of skiing Wildwood today and really enjoyed it. The skate trail is definitely firming up and is a bit bumpy but still quite skiable. The classic tracks were excellent. -

Wildwood Community Centre 6 months, 2 weeks agoAnyone know the distance of the skate loop at Wildwood on the golf course? (Not sure if the skate track also continues behind the community centre to SJR?) Thanks.

Wildwood Community Centre 6 months, 2 weeks agoConsidering the lack of snow and heavy use, I was pleasantly surprised by the good condition of things at Wildwood. Skate was good and tracks looked pretty good. Good job! (And donation coming!)

Envelopes for tax deductible donations in support of the trails are now available at the trail entry points. (Also posted on this web site.)

Wildwood Community Centre 6 months, 3 weeks agoSkiied yesterday, classic. Many skiier tracked trails, very heavy use has left the classic fairly junky. Hoping for more snow. The skate look ok in some places and trashed in others. Thanks to walkers this year, hardly any footsteps!

Wildwood Community Centre 7 months agoWildwood was quite good today. Classic tracks are great and skate is quite good (a handful of sections have had a few walkers). Skiing is good on the main course, on the river side and over behind the Community Centre all the way to SJR. It has great coverage as the course is well-protected from the wind.

Wildwood Community Centre 7 months, 1 week agoThere are some very nice skied in classic trails at Wildwood as of Dec 21st. They should still be good on the 22nd before the big snow comes, The trails wind all over the golf course and have not been walked on. I used my old skis as there are the occasional bits of gravel sticking out. I also crossed over to the Wildwood Community Centre…[Read more]
