First, we are proud to announce that Chicopee now has a mobile website! Just follow this link and add the page to your mobile bookmarks. For iPhone users, you can easily add the mobile website to your home screen by clicking the “plus sign” and “adding to home screen” - a Chicopee Icon will be added to your home screen. This mobile website will offer you quick up-to-date information about summer activities, lift and trail reports and weather. You can also view our webcam and contact us as well!

Secondly, due to the awesome weather we’ve been having, we will be opening our facility this Saturday to the public. Some activities may not be running (climbing), but be sure to check out our Summer Activity Report to see which activities are running!

Chicopee would like to thank the City of Kitchener for a $3,250 community grant that will be used towards purchasing five (5) new bicycles for our bike programs. As a non-profit organization, community grants help create a sustainable future at Chicopee and ensures that all activities will be enjoyed by visitors for years to come. Thank you.

Chicopee…you belong here at your year round playground. Amazing shared experiences are destined to be had at our great Chicopee facilities by families, friends, teams, social groups and co-workers. Explore the bike park and trails; spend a day at the “beach” playing volleyball or digging in the sand; bring your group to new heights in the ropes course and climbing wall; hike and play all in one on the disc golf course; have your Wimbledon on the clay tennis courts or just relax on the deck and take in the sights and sounds of nature while you’re still in the city. It’s a great place for a getaway for the day with your group; to meet, to play, to recharge. Discover Chicopee…

By now you’ve read or heard a lot about the new Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) that is coming into effect July 1st 2010. The HST is basically a combination of the current GST (Goods & Services Tax @ 5%) & PST (Provincial Sales Tax @ 8%) taxes that are collected. Ontario consumers will have to start paying eight percent tax on a wide spectrum of services that they have not had to pay tax on before. Goods & services that concern you & Chicopee such as memberships, adult lesson programs, lift tickets, etc will now be included.

Green Season Memberships, Disc Golf Season Passes are available in our Online Store Today! Summer Camp Registrations will be available soon. Other programs and leagues will be made available in the coming weeks.

We value and appreciate your feedback as it helps us plan for the future and improve programs and services; ultimately to enable us to serve you better. We are happy to answer any questions or concerns. Please visit the Contact Us Page
