    Wilket Creek Park is a beautiful place always busy with people you’ll see jogging, hiking, running, walking their dogs riding their bikes, cleaning this park and just about anything that suggests RELAXATION GALORE! The park is just perfect to visit any season of the year especially in the Spring when the leaves on the trees are just starting to show, oh what a promise given to US by Mother Nature. In Summer months, parking is a little difficult to find in this over 40 hectares combined parks because Torontonians just loved to gather and do their barbecuing and family gatherings here, celebrating birthdays on the park and also wedding pictures being held at the park, busy eh? Yes, everybody loves this because it’s accessible by public transportations from Eglinton and Leslie streets and once you enter this park, you can follow the paved paths to different other trails like directly to Edward Gardens, E. T. Seaton Park all the way to Brickworks and straight to Bayview St and all the way to Lakeshore… so many trails interconnected, LET’S GO EXPLORE! Oh by the way, there’s also washrooms and drinking fountains here.

    A lovely park really close to the city. Take a picnic blanket and basket and go get some fresh air.

    Beautiful colours in the fall, but way too crowded with people and cars. Suggest coming on a weekday to avoid the crowds.

    Beautiful trail that you can walk or bike on. Fairly busy on sunny days, but still no problem to get along. The trail has nice areas to stop at and the creek views are incredible. Great place for a nice leisurely ride

    A very beautiful and well maintained place especially to visit during the fall. Easily accessible by public transport. But if you want to climb here and there between the trees make sure you are wearing proper footwear.

    This is a beautiful park. Lots of nice photo spots and well conserved infrastructure. It misses some signs to let you know where to find food and washrooms. This is a perfect spot for a photography session.

    I just keep coming back to this park! I also love that it connects to other parks and trails.

  • 5/5 Sebastian K. 2 years ago on Google
    Wilket Creek Park is situated just north of E.T. Seton Park on the West Branch of Don River. The hiking trails are a little bit smaller and more adventurous as nature is more dense and savage. This park offers the perfect escape from the big city life while only being a short drive away from downtown Toronto.

    Big park with lots of place for different sports

  • 4/5 Ivan M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great for enjoying nature when the park is not busy during the week. Path for walking or jogging along the stream. Visit during fall to see the variety of Fall colors.

  • 4/5 Aluchi Del P. 1 year ago on Google
    It is great fair size with no benches or BBQ areas. However, for a walk or bicycle ride it is great. I like the people who frequent that park with their dogs 🐕 or just taking picture atvyhe little bird sanctuary by the stream.

    Paths could be better marked there are a lot of forks throughout the Don trails

    Wilket Creek Park in Toronto is a 108-acre urban escape. It's known for its beautiful ravine landscape, walking trails, and Wilket Creek meandering through it. The park changes with the seasons, offering vibrant colors in fall, serene winters, and blooming gardens in spring and summer. It's a great place for picnics, family outings, and enjoying nature in the heart of the city.

👍👍 Very peaceful place to be in even for just awhile.. especially for non Hindu people who doesn’t have a clue..(like me!) Most of the history of this place, one will find on YouTube since it’s very difficult to explain in my simple language. I know for sure that the materials they used to build this...
