It’s already August, but the weatherman is saying that there’s still lots of summer to be enjoyed here in York Region. Happily, all across York Region there are lots of great ways to relax and cool down. Whether your idea of fun includes cooling off by a beach, watching the kids in a wave pool, or taking in a performance at a concert or outdoor theatre, we’ve got you covered.
And even better, you don’t have to get in a car to get there! YRT\Viva is a great way to get yourself to some summer enjoyment, whether you’re relaxing with friends, or taking the kids for an outing.
Want to have a picnic? Scare yourself on the biggest and fastest rollercoasters? Ride a bike on a forested trail? Or play a round of golf? Whatever your idea of fun looks like, the YRT\Viva Trip Planner makes it easy. You just put in the address you’re leaving from and where you want to go, and the trip planner works out the best route and gives you a schedule. It even has a built-in list of the major recreation destinations across York Region. Then grab your PRESTO card or bus fare and you’re on your way.
