The Toronto Inukshuk Park

Tourist attraction ā€¢ Park

šŸ‘šŸ‘ This is not really a park. There is an inukshuk here and green space. Maybe some seating options if you sit on the rocks. This "park" is more of a connection between Coronation Park and Trillium Park. There is also a path to take you to the trail that runs alongside Lake Shore Blvd West. People often mention park, Inukshuk, views, Lake, Ontario, nice,

    If you travel around northernĀ #Canada,Ā #Alaska, or evenĀ #Greenland, you may spot large rock formations towering over the landscape, resembling the shape of a person with arms stretching out. They are calledĀ #Inukshuk. Inukshuk,Ā a structure made of stones piled on top of each other, wasĀ used for navigation in the frozen north where, in the snow of Tundra, everything could look the same.Ā Ā Peoples of theĀ #Arctic use them to markĀ hunting grounds forĀ #caribou,Ā #seal,Ā #walrus,Ā #whaleĀ or landing sites for boats andĀ kayaksĀ orĀ to warn travellers of dangerous currents beneath the ice. #InuksuitĀ are also sacred to the #native peoples.Ā Many #Inuit retain strong attachments to inuksuit believed to have been built by their ancestors. Evidence shows thisĀ tradition is as old as 9000 years.Ā  And, some of these landmarks have been standing for 2000 years. Traditionally constructed by theĀ Inuit, Inuksuit are often intertwined with representations of Canada andĀ #theNorth. #IndigenousĀ #NativeAmericanĀ #IƱupiat,Ā #Kalaallit,Ā #Yupik,Ā Ā #NorthernCanada,Ā #Greenland,Ā #AlaskaĀ #InunnguaqĀ #Tundra

    This is one of the largest of these Inuit stone structures in North America. Inukshuks are important symbols of Canada's First Nations. This one is made of mountain rose granite and stands about 9m tall. Well worth a visit, if you are walking or cycling along the Toronto waterfront. The slight elevation provides great views across to Billy Bishop airport and Lake Ontario shoreline.

    A busy park full of life and activities to go with your family. A favorite haunt for bikers and runners, with new paths added in 2018 makes for a decent distance to practice. Trillium parka is not far away and the running/biking path connects to the longer Martin Grove trail that runs beyond Ashbridges Bay on the east right up to Lakeshore West - Norris Crescent. Proximity to the Ontario place is both good and bad. It is convenient to get to, but also crowded when the weather gets warmer. The park provides for excellent views or the flights taking off west from Billy Bishop airport. With the water of Lake Ontario providing a blue/green background, great place to do photo shoots. I have seen lot of personal model protfolios to wedding pictures being shot here. There is ample parking right next to the park which is great! It is a must visit, but be prepared for the crowds during summer. A couple of runs/races end here during spring and later summer, look out for road closures when you plan your trip here.

    The Toronto Inukshuk Park, with its impressive large-scale Inukshuk sculpture, is a serene waterfront space offering spectacular views of Lake Ontario. It's a symbol of friendship and a popular spot for reflection, photography, and enjoying the peaceful lakeside ambiance.

    Not the biggest park but a lovely place to take a walk and ride a bike along the coast line. The rental bikes are a big attraction and what a view when you stand beside the structure in the image below. Clean environment as well.

    A nice park for walking / biking while enjoying the Toronto skyline views. Cool place to take some photographs as well. The inukshuk here is known to be one of the largest of its kind.

    If you are looking for a park with a playground, this is not the place to go. However, it does have a very large and cool looking Inukshuk for photos. The stones around the Inukshuk are engraved, which provides additional information. I suggest walking the waterfront trail.

    Nice place to find some peace. Calm and serene water front. Has a nice track to bike, jog and also a skating area.

    What is this structure? An Inukshuk is a structure of rough stones stacked in the form of a human figure, traditionally used by Inuit people as a landmark or a commemorative sign. This one is massive!

    The Toronto Inukshuk Park is a beautiful little park on the northern shore of Lake Ontario that honours the cultures and histories of the First Nations. The statue is certainly worth a stop and a few photographs.

  • 3/5 Deena B. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful Inukshuk with the view of the CN tower... it's a shame the city isn't maintaining the park. There's graffiti and unkept grass.

  • 5/5 ihab m. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the Inukshuk, yhe walk by the yacht club, the big chairs on the green space and the police patrol to keep children and patrons safe. A place for everyone!
