    After a quick visit to the Rotary Frenchman's Bay West Park, came here. Parking fee here is kind of steep, $20, but you can get away by parking outside the reservation area, at the soccer field. Hiked the loop inside the reservation area, it was about 5km. It was not busy on the Sunday morning, the view was picturesque.

    Great conservation park with many beautiful areas near the waterfront for a picnic. This place is great for a BBQ with family and friends if you live in Toronto as there are not a lot of options for an outdoor BBQ in the city. There is an enterance fee of $20 if you want to park your car inside. Picnic benches are available in all picnic areas and the tall trees provide good shade. Trails are good for cycling and walking near the waterfront. There is a splash pad as well but is currently closed for maintenance. Overall a great park to enjoy a family weekend in the outdoors.

    Great park with trails and cycle friendly paths near the lake. Ideal location for barbecues with a group. Ticket required but the price is reasonable. Well maintained. Good place to spend a weekend outdoors with family.

    Very green and large park. Unfortunately the pool and splash pad was not open. You could walk down to the water. Beautiful time at this park.

    Petticoat Creek Conservation Area has been put on one of my most favorite parks of this year. Loved the trails, the waterfront areas and the cliffside views. One of the best areas for families and dog walking. Biking and jogging. Absolutely amazing views for photography.

    If you are living in Toronto, Scarborough,Ajex, Pickering or Oshawa it’s nearby lakeshore front trail. You can walk on the paved path and may find opening to go to beach and can walk as well. In some parts in Whitby you may see beautiful bluffs. You can walk in every season and very near. Lots of parking options- free and picnic shelters.

    Excellent place for a entire days picnic with family and friends. Even during the pandemic well kept and ample space in the multiple parks and lake front. The waves in the lake are as good as it gets.

    I went there for a family picnic, lots of fun and a huge place for playing. You can definitely go there for a big family picnic. Near this place a lake is available. However, the scenario is excellent even if you bring your dog. The walkway is available for dogs. Overall, I enjoyed a lot of games with my family and friends. Moreover, we sat on the bench and saw the lake outline.

  • 5/5 Reina N. 10 months ago on Google
    There are multiple walking trails through the trees to get down to the water front. The view is spectacular. It's a busy spot but not super busy depending which area you go to. Well worth the drive.

  • 5/5 Gillian L. 2 years ago on Google
    My husband and I visited for a walk in the summer of 2021 on a beautiful sunny day. The scenery here is absolutely beautiful and there is enough space that you can stop, take pictures, have a picnic or just walk in peace and quiet. It is an absolute hidden gem and I would recommend that everybody visit. The views out over Lake Ontario are absolutely stunning.

    I prefer the park off season. It's huge with lovely views. Just went there today. PLEASE DO NOT disturb a bird in the Pleasant Point parking lot. It's sitting on the eggs on the right side. You can see the garbage containers on that side, at the back. Be watchful especially walking there to get rid of a poop bag. Thanks!

  • 4/5 Roberto O. 2 years ago on Google
    Very nice place. We booked the lakeside area for a baby shower and had a great time. We had privacy and a very big space to ourselves. Got to play spike ball and Frisbee. Kods loved it when ice cream truck came.

👍👍 It was my first time riding a jet ski alone, and both Leslie and Abdullah were so helpful and kind in guiding me and giving proper detailed instructions. It was one of the best experiences I had, safe and reliable. Totally worth it. Highly recommend.
