The Quarry, ST. Marys

As the St. Mary's Quarry is one of the town's claims to fame, I had to make sure I included a painting of it.  

"Rehabilitated for swimming, this former limestone quarry is now Canada’s largest outdoor freshwater swimming pool. This exciting attraction includes cliff jumping and a slide (dependent on water levels). There is a large grassed area for picnics or sunbathing, sand volleyball and the Tiki Hut for snacks." ~ taken from the Town of St. Marys Website

I personally have many fond memories of the Quarry in St. Marys.  This famous swimming spot is where I took many of my swimming lessons back in the day.  I also met one of my best friends, Lindsay, here the summer before grade 9.   One of the best swimming spots around.
