As we announced in December, we now have a very fast high-speed internet connection. We have spent the last 3 months testing the system, fine-tuning the network, and replacing some equipment with faster hardware. While we’ve had a few outages for short periods of time, the internet has generally proven to be quite reliable and very, very fast! So we are confident enough to offer a premium plan for an unlimited WiFi internet subscription. Here are the details: Unlimited data use. People who purchase daily, weekly, or monthly tickets will continue to be restricted if they use a lot of data. e.g. watching videos on YouTubeRead More →

Want to know if the pool is open for the season? (it’s not yet!) Curious when the hot tub will next be closed for cleaning? Wondering if Bare Oaks is open during a holiday? This information and more will be posted on our new Twitter Account: @BareOaksStatus We were posting updates on our main Twitter account: @BareOaksPark. But because we also share other social media updates on that account, the status notifications were getting lost.

A few days ago Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park turned eleven years old (11 years since the current owners took over; 45 since it began as the Toronto Helios Society) which means last year was our decennial anniversary. The Federation of Canadian Naturists (FCN) published an article in the summer issue of Going Natural/Au naturel magazine which contained reflections about the growth of our club as well as the struggle of other clubs. You can read it online: http://www.bareoaks.ca/files/GN_32-2_Summer_2017-BareOaks.pdf You can read this article and many more if you join the FCN: https://fcn.ca/new-signupRead More →
