Painswick is all about family, with location, convenience, and space at the forefront of its many desirable features. Easy access to schools, commuter routes, and Barrie South GO Station make everyday life easy, while excellent attractions such as Lennox Park, Madelaine Park, Painswick Park, a branch of the public library that offers computer use and books for borrowing for no cost, and the nearby glistening shores of Lake Simcoe provide activities for evenings, weekends, and summer breaks. The area is home to many established neighbourhoods and newer developments.
