As many people have noticed, the water in the pool in August was unusually cold. A leak in a pipe meant that we were unable to use the solar heating system. Because the leak was located below the concrete deck, a repair would have meant rendering the pool inaccessible for the remainder of the season. Rather than do that, we opted to keep it open without heat. Now that Labour Day has come and gone, it is time for us do make repairs. As such, the pool will be closing for the season effective Monday, September 9th. We apologize for this premature closing. But with theRead More →

In the spring, a new business started in Mount Albert, just a few kilometres from Bare Oaks: The Rail Yard Wake Park  It features wake boarding behind a cable line.

You can now tour around Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park thanks to Google’s Streetview. In May of this year, we hired Ilyse Krivel,  a Trusted Photographer for Google Business Photos, to photograph a tour of our property. The resulting tour can be found through Google Maps or by clicking on the “see inside” image that shows up on the right-hand side when you search for “Bare Oaks” in Google. You won’t see any nude people in the tour. In fact, you won’t see any people at all. Google’s rules require the photographer to avoid people as much as possible. So we picked a cold weekday inRead More →

Dear Anonymous, Since you didn’t leave any contact information, this is the only way we can respond to your concerns. Thank you for contacting Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park. We do appreciate receiving both compliments and complaints. We are sorry that you were dissatisfied because either you or someone else in your party (you are not clear in your letter about who was affected) were not allowed to walk around clothed. As you correctly pointed out, we did have a clothing-optional area during our volleyball tournament but you also found that option to be disagreeable. You should be aware that this is an unusual compromiseRead More →

But starting last year, a number of new volunteers took over. In 2012 it was: Front garden on Kennedy Road: Marc Garden in front of the office: Ingrid Outback Gardens: Jan Beckett Circle – peace sign garden, and plants around washroom: Nancy This year, we have even more volunteers: Front garden on Kennedy Road:  Marc and Suzy Garden in front of the office: Steven and Ingrid Planters at the clubhouse: Dale Helios Circle gardenRead More →

Last fall a coin was minted to commemorate the 40th anniversary (1972-2012) of the founding of the Toronto Helios Society that eventually became Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park.
