Getting to Sydenham and Parking Information

Sydenham Village is just a short drive from Kingston. Take Sydenham Road north and turn left on Rutledge Road.

Parking on village streets is not permitted! The horse drawn wagon rides need enough room to get around, so please refrain from parking on the streets. There is lots of free event parking:

Sydenham High School - 2860 Rutledge Road

Winter Bird Walk with Gaye Beckwith - 4412 Wheatley Street - Leaves at 11:00 am

Meet Gaye at the front door of the Sydenham Library Branch at 11:00 am for a one hour guided winter bird walk around Sydenham. You'll be walking part of the Cataraqui Trail and checking bird feeders in the village. We can expect to see or hear around 10 winter bird species and there are often surprises.
