There’s something special about a Sunday supper — especially when it’s shared outdoors with neighbours, friends, and family. Whether you’re planning a laid-back evening on the patio or a cozy dinner on the grass, Legacy offers some incredible outdoor spots to host your next Sunday gathering.
The Gazebo
Tucked along the Environmental Reserve, Legacy’s gazebo offers built-in shelter, shade, and a charming setting that feels both intimate and open. It’s a great option if you’re hosting a slightly larger group and want to have some outdoor table space. Add a string of lights and a few throw blankets for a cozy, welcoming vibe.
Beside the Storm Ponds
Either of Legacy’s two storm ponds adds a beautiful backdrop to an outdoor meal. Surrounded by walking paths, benches, and quiet corners, you’ll find a perfect spot for laying down a picnic blanket. Hosting here offers a more relaxed, nature-filled setting — especially in the evening when the sun begins to set over the water.
Along the Environmental Reserve
Consider setting up along the Environmental Reserve further East – with views stretching toward the Heritage Pointe Golf Course and an uninterrupted natural landscape, this location is ideal for slower, more intimate dinners. Bring along a few foldable chairs and a small table — or go full picnic-style with layered blankets and a low tray for serving.
Your Own Backyard
Of course, you can’t go wrong with the comfort of your own space. Hosting in your backyard allows you to bring out dinnerware, lighting, and décor without much fuss — and it’s perfect if little ones (or pets) need easy access indoors.
No matter where you choose to host, Legacy offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and neighbourhood charm to make your Sunday supper feel like a tradition worth repeating.
Tips for Setting the Scene
Hosting outdoors doesn’t mean skipping the details. Here are a few simple tips to elevate your Sunday supper:
- Bring the indoors out: Lay down a picnic blanket or tablecloth, add a few cushions or folding chairs, and light some battery-operated candles or string lights for ambiance.
- Set the table properly: Forks go on the left, knives and spoons on the right (with knife blades facing inward). Water and wine glasses should sit just above the knives.
- Keep a cohesive colour palette: Choose a colour theme — like earth tones or blues — to tie together your tableware, napkins, and flowers for a pulled-together look.
Serve family-style: Big bowls and shared platters create a casual, communal feel that encourages conversation and connection.
Short on Time? Try These Local Pick-Up Options
If cooking isn’t on the menu, Legacy has you covered. Grab takeout from The Mash or The Canadian Brewhouse for pub-inspired bites, or opt for lighter fare from Pho Hoan Pasteur and The Chopped Leaf. All four are just a quick stop away, so you can focus on hosting — not meal prep.
Don’t Forget the Extras
- Pick up fresh buns from COBS and a bouquet of flowers from Sobeys for a simple but charming table setup.
- Stop by Wine & Beyond in Township for your favourite wine or non-alcoholic beverage.
- Treat your pup to something special too — Bone & Biscuit has plenty of pet-friendly snacks to include them in the fun.
Sunday suppers in Legacy are about more than just good food — they’re about community. So grab your blanket, order your favourites, and invite your neighbours to join you for a perfect summer evening, right here in Legacy.
