    Just behind the busy streets of downtown, there a peaceful place to sit around and enjoy the beachy effect of the harbor. Loved it.

    The view of the lake is beautiful, certainly there you can spend a few minutes admiring the lake and watching the boats and people go by. the sad point is that when looking at the park even with many garbage cans around, you see subjects next to the trees, in addition to many people listening to loud music without knowing if others like the same music. The asphalt has good access for wheelchair users, and there are some benches around the park. Restrooms only in the private ones in the bars and restaurants that surround the area.

    A beautiful and calm park by the side of Lake Ontario where one can sit peacefully enjoying the cool breeze with the sight of center Island. Animals/ birds lovers can find beautiful ducks, swans, sea gulls, squirrels and dogs here. Beautiful in all seasons. One can take a long walk / jog by the water front.

    Good place beautiful lake Ontario. BUT I want to bring attention of the city to an important issue "SAFETY" . There are many places without a camera and people are robbed and abused near this park. The Canadian court system is of the opinion that if there is no evidence and witness or if the person is having mental health issues then they are "Criminally not responsible" but what about the harassment a person has to go through even for a small robbery like mobile theft. All contacts, all pics, all social media and bank accounts have to be reset or are compromised. Please install more cameras and prosecute the criminals irrespective of their race or health conditions.

    Love this outdoor space at the foot of one of the greatest city. Open clean inviting and fun for all. A casual stroll or eating at anyone of the establishments that are scattered thru the zone park area provides you with everything needed to engage in people watching, inhalation of the lake with views up and down of the waterfront. Entertainment is sparse given our COVID times but trust me you will enjoy day or night in this area or space looking into the city breaks your breath or the water to calm your nerves. Enjoy

    My favourite place!!! Whenever i go to Downtown Toronto, I surely visit harbourfront. It has a cool breeze in the summer and it is so good for cycling or just walking with your partner. A peaceful place to be with yourself.

    This place is so beautiful and located right on the waterfront, was a good place to visit, though it became extremely windy and cold due to the weather. Had a nice time and would surely visit again.

  • 5/5 Michael Di P. 2 years ago on Google
    A beautiful spot for a walk or picnic by the water. Easily accessible by walking from union station, by streetcar, or by bike (it’s right near the bike path). Little to no traffic noise, it’s a great place to watch the boats or planes come and go. It’s also a nice spot to watch ducks and geese as well.

    Fabulous boardwalk along the Lake Ontario shores. You can see several art installations setup around the Queen's Quay and Harbour Square park.. absolutely stunning views of the sky during sunrise and sunset. Not to forget the moonrise too.

    close to union at walking distance good for a stop before hopping on the ferry. clean space with benches and enough spots to sit around and take in the stunning views all around. on my last visit it was quite foggy almost felt like a scene out of zombie movie

    We were there around 10 in the morning, and it was a beautiful and peaceful area to walk around in.

  • 4/5 Mona M. 2 months ago on Google β€’ 138 reviews New
    One of the most beautiful waterfront spots in downtown Toronto. lots of benches and a wide green area for the kids to play or to simply sit and enjoy the fresh air. it's also close to a couple of restaurants. Parking is not so easy though, there are a couple of pricey parking lots nearby

    On New Year's Eve, I watched the fireworks with a few friends and counted down. It was very enjoyable. I hope kind people will have good luck in 2024.

    It's a wonderful view, so relax, nice weather, and a nice spot for dog play.

  • 5/5 Tshitiz S. 5 months ago on Google
    It is situated along Toronto's waterfront, it offers a tranquil retreat. Boasting picturesque view os lake Ontario, meticulously maintained lawns, it provides an ideal setting for relaxation or leisurely walks. The sunset casts a mesmerizing golden hue, enhancing the park's ambiance. Although not the largest, Harbour Square Park's allure and diverae offerings deem it a essential visit in the city center.

  • 5/5 Eevee 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place. I take a walk every day with my dog in this park. You can take a ferry from here.

  • 5/5 Ray M. 6 months ago on Google
    Harbour Front or call it Squarw or HTO or HFC . It's a long stretch of trail by the lake ontario. Great views, food, restaurant, picnic areas, walking trails, cycling or skateboard and parks to spend time for leisure or destress after day long work at downtown. You cannot miss this place even if you try, as this is very prominent and by the CN tower stretching 15 kms East to West.

  • 5/5 Heather B. 9 months ago on Google
    Really beautiful place to walk around. Felt safe and clean. Great views. You can also take a ferry, enjoy a boat tour, get food and drinks, or sit and enjoy the passing people and watercraft.

  • 5/5 Saurav C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an amazing spot near Union station. It turns out to be a go-to walking place for me. I often take my coffee and walk and sit down and sip my favorite coffee. I wish this place was a walkable distance from my place. Recommended for everyone, every age person. Sometimes this place is noisy.

  • 5/5 CordateComet 1 year ago on Google
    The grass is comfortable to sit on! Also a nice view of trees and sky here :)

    I nice place to enjoy sunset. There are places to be sitted.

  • 4/5 Derek W. 2 years ago on Google
    Lots of green space to lounge about in, and nice views of the harbour. A few paths to walk about and water taxis near by as well as a ferry terminal if you want to take a trip out to the islands. Good place for a quick break but not much else to do.

  • 5/5 Stacey O. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful spot to relax and unwind after a long day. So calming and relaxing you don't realize you're still in the city.

  • 5/5 Karthik Pedaramangalam B. 3 years ago on Google
    This is my daily walking spot after work. A beautiful place for walking, jogging, cycling and simply sit and enjoy the view of the nature. There are sufficient benches and tables to spend time with family and friends. Green and clean lawns and play area for dogs and kids and thanks to corporation employees as they keep the place always clean and tidy. Great job πŸ‘ πŸ‘

  • 5/5 Helen N. 2 years ago on Google
    Even on a partly cloudy day, the water was gorgeous! Families enjoying themselves, lovers taking strolls, people sightseeing up and down the harbour...all so beautiful! The Harbour reminds me of Chicago in a way. And if you're at Union Station, the Harbour is just a few minutes walk from there!

  • 5/5 James T. 2 years ago on Google
    The park is small, but the lake makes up for it. The best time to go here is in the morning when the sun starts to come up. It's a very relaxing place to go. My Lucy loves to watch the two swans that frequent the area.

  • 5/5 NAMIT MOHAN B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nothing less than a dream place in the summer time to walk, jog or simply hang out by the side of the habour. Ample of trees to provide shade and benches to sit. Love going to this place and planning to visit soon. Well, about the view, the pictures should speak for themselves!
