    The pros to this park is that it has lots of green space to have a picnic or to relax. There are benches and picnic tables available. There is a nice small swirl of a trail as well. The splash pad is decent but what sells is the view. You can see the CN tower and the city from the splash pad. My 3 year old had an absolutely amazing time! The park is pretty nice too with swings, slides and see-saws. It is close to distillery district by walk. The cons is definitely the parking. The outdoor street parking AND indoor parking fill up so fast!! We spent over 15-20 minutes looking for parking. I’m not a fan of the metal slides in the playground. We went on a hot July afternoon and I had to say no to my son who wanted to go on the slide so badly.

    2022 July 3β˜… A good amount of green space, a small play area with a slide, swings and a see saw. A splash pad nearby. Most people come here to just relax, picnic and really enjoy the weather. The trails are nice and are part of a larger path. Pros: public washrooms Limited Paid parking on nearby side streets.

    The landscape design is thoughtful and calming. There’s something for everyone: kids playground, dog owners, solo walkers, couples, and groups. The mini park connects to the DVP trial and lakeshore trail east and west making it easy for bikers and runners. I only wish it were 10 times bigger. Public washrooms available.

    We really liked this little park, especially the splash pad and playground areas. Lots of green space to set and relax. The only one issue is finding a parking! Common issue for Toronto but overall experience was fantastic ⭐️

    Ummm. There’s something about this park I can’t quite point, maybe it’s the layout or the architecture, you walk in the ways and end up in the same place that’s common to all. 4 stars because I saw a frog, a baby bunny and some water lilies in the swamp pond. Otherwise I’d give it a 3 maybe? I don’t know if it were just my expectations. I do like the area and the place it’s located in. Other parks are more open and vast spaces without barriers, this one has multiple small hangout places with barriers.

    Runner who need short hills for interval training in downtown Toronto could find Corktown Common helpful. Lovely space and enough terrain variations to be interesting for runs. Plus there’s always doggos having fun around so that’s a bonus! :)

    Awesome park with plenty of playground equipment for kids. Available splash pad for hot summer days with nearby accessible public washrooms for changing and potty breaks. Lots of paved trails for biking and green space to let dogs run. Highly recommend!

    Perhaps my favourite park in downtown Toronto. In a clean neighborhood, not too much riff raff, nice grass, little hill, a small pond, plus a great view of the CN tower (not shown in my picture).

    I ❀ this park. Clean and beautiful place. We had a great time playing in the slide area, we love the big slide that is pretty fun. My kids arrived home very hungry and tired because they had a wonderful time at the park. You have also a nice view of the CN Tower. Swings area is also nice. Lots of green areas. Pets are also happy because they have a lot of space to play and run. I highly recommend this place, for me as mom the slides are the best part. 🎒

    Beautiful park in Corktown and such a quiet peaceful area. Even though it's part of the city it's feeling is outside of the hectic city. Great spot for families and kids. Most of the area is designed for children. Perfect for walks and taking the family dogs for a walk.

    Good place to meet friends with kids and dogs for a picnic. Lots of food sources nearby, and the playground is really unique. My toddler loved the slides, climbing around, the seesaw and swings. There's a splash pad but no wading pool so will probably go elsewhere for that which is his preference, but great playground. Appreciated the central location of the accessible washrooms too

    Nice little park close to the Port Lands and Distillery District. The only thing keeping it from perfection is the lack of a public washroom (there's one but it's closed for most of the year)

    It was a great park and very clean. There are lots of options for kids like splash pad slides

    Great place to get back to nature in the middle of the city. Saw frogs, bunnies and all different kinds of birds and trees etc.

  • 5/5 Greg M. 1 year ago on Google
    My favorite urban park in east Toronto. Multi use facilities - playground, sports fields, nature trails and wetlands (watch for dive bombing redwing blackbirds!) . Washroom facilities at the top of the hill. Easy walk from downtown or take streetcar to cherry st or come down from the king st / queen st car. Ample park benches and great city scape views. Also conveniently located at base of Don valley trail (bike or hike) and the lakeshore bike lane. LongSlice Brewery only 5 min walk away too so grab some cans and lounge!

    Wow! Didn't expected this thoughtfully designed green space and recreational area. It seems like an ideal environment for local residents to relax and play here. With all the condos in the new Canary District, it probably is still not enough green space for the growing population... Yesterday, there were so many people in the park area - all the picnic tables were occupied. But for what it's worth, it is still a gem.

    A lovely oasis in the city. The marsh is lovely when you have the time to pause to look for the frogs, turtles, and other critters that live there. The tree-lined paths are lovely and peaceful, the central field is a great place for a picnic or a birthday party, and the kids playground is lovely to explore. The two individual accessible washrooms are open all summer, which is excellent, and the drinking fountain actually works most of the time, which isn’t that common in Toronto. I live a few km away, but love visiting on my bike or on foot.

    Not a good beer but a good place! This park is so chill. Amazing kids area that is safe nestled around beautiful nature. If you have kids that likes slides and cool different play structures a must stop!

  • 4/5 Ken A. 10 months ago on Google β€’ 87 reviews
    Beautiful place to come and relax read a book, suntan or just walk your dog. I happen to be on a bike ride and found this place as I was passing through and found it to be so nice and peaceful. Even though there is still a lot of construction going on in the area, it was a nice place to stop and test for a bit.

  • 5/5 Yousuf A. 7 months ago on Google
    A very well maintained and peaceful place to hang out with friends or with family in the summer. Three great play areas for kids (two dry areas and one splash pad) with ample seating in the shade near the playground. Very close to restaurants and coffee shops that offer take out (Souk Tabule, Suko Thai, Dark Horse etc) that can be enjoyed in the park without tons of planning ahead of time.

  • 3/5 Jerry L. 2 years ago on Google
    The park itself is very nice for the neighborhood as many already said. Three stars is because: 1) The dog owners in the park walk their dogs without a leash. They assume that everyone is dog lovers in the park and let their dogs run toward you. 2) you can find cyclist biking in the park. Both issues can be solved if people are more responsible and considerate.

  • 5/5 Mike The Space W. 5 months ago on Google β€’ 23 reviews
    I do my daily cardio here and in the summer it is beautiful. It feels much larger than it actually is, snaking in and up on itself with its delightful paths around wetlands. Whoever designed it was a master of urban downtown planning. Cannot recommend enough for an afternoon in a green space downtown.

  • 5/5 Marie J. C. 8 months ago on Google
    Headed out to the CC for Patchwork Collective event. Lots of green space. Open for community events and picnics.

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice greenspace in the city. Could revamp some of it but overall great space.

  • 5/5 Jenny L. 10 months ago on Google
    Great park for everyone to enjoy! Many dogs, and some were off leash but very well behaved. We stop here for a quick rest after our bike ride and we've never had an issue with finding a bench, which is nice considering the amount of people that use the park. My only complaint is that there isn't a water bottle filling station here (that I know of). The water fountains don't have enough pressure to fill a water bottle.

  • 5/5 A M. 10 months ago on Google
    Lovely grassy setting in a quiet neighbourhood. Tables for seating and an accessible pathway.

  • 5/5 Visda V. 2 years ago on Google
    Went there with kido on a warm sunny day i. September. The playground is small but the toys are interesting, they blend with the nature and allow kids to transition easily independently from one to another. There's also trails to walk, run, bike, or skate. There are washrooms. Not too many picnic tables but lots of green area (clean) to spread a picnic on the ground. Parking (street) is available but limited.

  • 5/5 Kari G. 2 years ago on Google
    It's a great place for kids, i loved go there and have a good time with my family. There are a playground and splash pads. The restroms are clean for be a public place.

  • 5/5 Rachel K. 2 years ago on Google
    A cute spot with interesting art installations.

  • 4/5 Matt S. 2 years ago on Google
    A very undiscovered place to shoot engagement or portrait photos! When the grass is grown in on the outside of the area (near the highway), it provides that "long grassy field" look.

  • 5/5 Paola Rivera P. 2 years ago on Google
    Is a nice corner to go to with kids or with friends, enjoy a nice walk with coffee shops near to it. There are some street art exhibitions near to it.
