Today’s question is about date ideas in Mississauga.

I’m looking for some inexpensive date ideas in Mississauga this summer – any suggestions?

There’s no shortage of inexpensive outings and activities in Mississauga; we’ve rounded up a list of our top date ideas in the city!

Plan a picnic

Pack a blanket and some snacks (charcuterie board anyone?) and head to one of Mississauga’s many parks to enjoy a cute date among nature. While there’s an abundance of picnic parks across the city, you may want to check out a quieter scenic location like The Riverwood Conservancy or Brueckner Rhododendron Gardens.

Hit the trails

Sometimes the best dates are free! There’s no shortage of recreational trails in Mississauga; you and your date can enjoy walking, cycling, jogging or even cross country skiing in the winter months.

Try a fitness class together

Leave your nerves behind and break a sweat with your date at one of the City’s many recreational classes! From Zumba to yoga to total body workouts, you’re sure to find a class to fit beginners and fitness enthusiasts alike. Cool down after your workout with a dip in one of the City’s many pools.

Enjoy a walk near the water

Port Credit Memorial Park and Lake Aquitaine Park both provide picturesque views for a romantic stroll after a dinner date. Check out the full list of destination parks in Mississauga for more inspiration.
