    Great day for a hike and perfect areas to hike or walk Loved every part of this area and the fact that it was windy when I parked and walked down into a so called gorge with hills on both sides of the creek kept me warm on a minus 7 and minus 15 wind chill. The sights are outstanding and you can walk on both sides of the creek as there's many pedestrian bridges that allow you to cross in many areas. Stay on one side or keep crossing back and forth. I choose to walk one side to the end and then cross over and go back. Great for families, children and dogs. Be mindful of the iced over areas of trails as it can be slippery in a few spots.

    This park is so beautiful. It's kind of quiet as well to walk in peace. Lots of greenery and a small water trail along the side. People are usually seen biking from one end to another. Walking the whole trail could probably take around 45 minutes to 1 hr if you walk slow like me. This is my go to park for everyday. There is also another side of the park that leads to Victoria Park.

    It's my first time visiting this park!!!! How lovely it is!!!! Nice weather, green trees and blue sky. I was so surprised to meet the huge bridge and the part is under it. Maybe I am not a good photographer but the park is awesome and beautiful. Enjoy walking in this park and taking good rest :)

    Very nice and serene place. Makes you feel very close to nature. There is a long trail to hike. We saw several kinds of birds. There’s a stream with clear water flowing. Some interesting spots to take selfies. We brought something to eat and we were so happy to find picnic tables and shades where we enjoyed our lunch and rest for a while. There is a big parking lot at the entrance.

    A beautiful escape from the city. A river runs along the trail and there is so much greenery. There are a few picnic sites as well. You can have a good day out with friends and family.

    This is a huge park. We had a picnic at spot # 4. We had lots of fun. Kids enjoyed walking inside the forest. The park has parkings at the starting point and Halton avenue. Unfortunately, there is no washroom. This sucks. You have to shorten your trip due to washroom. The small river flowing in the middlle of trails is so panaromic. You feel like walking with a continuing music.This park is best for walking and cycling. Kids love to walk and play.

    Many people were masked so it was safe. We caught the tour train which was only $9 for my daughter and I. The grounds are clean and well maintained. The playground is exceptional. There was even an ice cream truck. In our next trip we will go to the petting zoo. I would stay there all day if I could!

    Great spot to take long walks. Lots of cyclists so make sure to be attentive. The park extends to other parks nearby so there is an abundance of paths to take. Was easy to find parking even on a Saturday afternoon. Overall would recommend checking out.

    Gorgeous park, must go if you want to reconnect with nature. Restrooms might be a bit of an issue, I walked 2.5 Km in the trail and don’t recall seeing one. Free parking, dog-friendly, cyclist-friendly!

  • 5/5 Goran Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice park for bike rides and hiking with family and kids. If you wonder where the picnic sites are with the nearest parking lots, I have included two photos of the picnic site 3 (one of the five picnic sites) which is right next to a dog park. The closest parking lot to this picnic site is Charles Sauriol Park parking lot (450 meters, 5 minutes walk). Washrooms are on the other side of the park (Dawes Rd., south from.St Clair) where you can also find free parking lot and a water fountain. Closest picnic site to this parking lot is the picnic site 5. Hope this helps!

    Great park with few camping areas and a really stunning lookout point. Has a decent hiking trail as well. Good for a short weekend hike!

  • 5/5 Devin P. 6 months ago on Google β€’ 45 reviews
    This spacious park in Canada is a serene escape, boasting sprawling greenery and well-maintained trails. The abundance of open space allows for various recreational activities, from picnics to sports. The diverse flora, especially during the changing seasons, adds natural beauty to the surroundings. The park's cleanliness and amenities, such as benches and playgrounds, contribute to a family-friendly atmosphere. Whether strolling along the paths or simply enjoying the expansive landscapes, this park provides a tranquil retreat and a wonderful connection with nature in the heart of Canada.

    I love walking through Taylor Creek Park with my dog. Especially through the dirt path that runs through the woods. During the week day is the best, especially in the summer because of all the picnics happening by large groups of people on weekends. The only down side are the occasional cyclists that go through this wooded path rather than staying on the paved road that runs through the park. I wish the city would ban cyclists from the dirt path especially because there are so many little children running around especially on weekends and most dog walkers choose the dirt road to walk on because of all the cyclists on the paved road. The dogs also have access points to the creek which many of them love to play in.

    I think I go here every day. A gorgeous escape from the city and a great place to walk a dog. Some of the dirt paths are unofficially off leash. Great place to go for a run or bike ride and you can go far. It connects to the Don trail.

  • 3/5 Nicholas S. 2 years ago on Google
    The portion of the park I visited was clean. Not a lot of people visiting the park from what I could notice. Nice place to enjoy a nice walk or for quick jogging. Also for cycling except it's gonna be hard to bring the bicycle up and down the stairs to Victoria Park Street.

  • 5/5 Richard O. 1 year ago on Google
    Has a very nice and long creek-side trail for walking and biking. There are a couple of camp sites. Not maintained during winter.

  • 5/5 Davis U. 11 months ago on Google
    Literally, a breath of fresh air having a nature park with a thriving wildlife within a bustling city.

  • 5/5 Jordan G. 2 years ago on Google
    Off the main trails are some more rugged side trails winding up and down the slopes and across the top of some side spurs. Someone, has installed some very rudimentary bridges to cross gullies and windfalls. Can hardly believe it was city staff, but if it was them, kudos for keeping them appropriately rustic and not over-engineered or being overly-risk-averse.

  • 3/5 Paul Z. 11 months ago on Google
    Yesssss.......I've given harshly only 3 stars fur 2 good if not amazingly relevant reasons🫣😦. The wildness is beautiful and totally natural.....you don't see any rediculous planting of such kinds that u shouldn't (no offense to the Hostas). My 2 star deductions are for the lack of washrooms and dare I say....FIREPITS, call me needy if u like but I'm pretty sure most people would agreeπŸ‘πŸ€ͺ

    A beautiful urban valley park with a relatively wide pathway in most areas and plenty of areas to stop, sit and enjoy the sounds of the urban ecosystem. There are a few areas where drainage is reliably bad and almost always have water running over the trail which may be unavoidable for people with accessibility issues. Another unfortunately reliable feature of the valley park is the intermittent wafting of raw sewage smell coming from the raised sewer grates. Just a healthy reminder that you're still in the city.

  • 4/5 Yuliya P. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice and quite long trail if you don't want to drive several hours out of town. Good for walking dogs, biking, hiking.

  • 5/5 RedonjΓ© W. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a nice small park where you can go for a relaxing walk alone or with a friend. Parking is available and it's never crowded. Location is great as well. You get an opportunity to enjoy nature.

  • 5/5 David S. 2 years ago on Google
    Peaceful and integrating. Can ride a bike walk on dirt on paved paths. See nature at its best. Good for entertaining children and pets. Good for family gatherings and picnics. And birthday parties outdoors .

  • 5/5 Ash S. 2 years ago on Google
    Tranquil waters meander over rocks and silt, through the towering old growth trees perched on the river banks that make up Taylor Creek.
