    It was a busy Saturday morning, the weather was good. Went from the Sunnyside Pavilion , cross the Humber Bay Arc Bridge, stopped at the Sheldon Lookout, to the Palace Pier and back. It was about 6km. The lake view was beautiful. The temperature was pleasant. Paid parking spaces were plentiful. There were public washrooms along the path.

    We went to beach side. Walked over the bridge. Enjoyed the little hill and breath taking views. It was the sunset in late December 2019. Toronto skyline on left and water colored skies on right was a fantastic memory.

    Great lakeside park and waterfront area for all to enjoy. The park itself offers plenty of open picnic space along with covered areas for larger organized gathering. Cycling, jogging, blading paths are separated from pedestrian pathways but still one must always be careful. Lakeside enjoyment with expansive beach areas, volleyball net area and lifeguard stations dot the shoreline. Swans, geese and ducks aplenty. Total enjoyment for all ages.

    This is a beautiful park with so many wonderful opportunities to walk and connect with nature. A hidden gem of TO. Peaceful park.

    Great place for running and picnic. There is a small beach out front with a view of Toronto’s Skyline. There were few ducks around too. There are also some picnic tables. Public toilets are also around the center of the park.

    Perfect area for walks and seeing the Toronto water front areas. More than enough parking right at this area and the trails travel east and west. Very close to the Humber Bay Arch bridge and other great areas to visit.

    I love this area, just wish people would respect the lake and the beach more. It's better now but there is still litter and cigarette butts in the sand and grass.

    Great park. Has a public bathroom, boardwalk, cycle path, playground. You will need the Green P app to pay for parking during certain times.

  • 5/5 Brian G. 5 months ago on Google • 54 reviews
    Brief visit - beautiful, lots of parking, dog friendly (leash mandatory for safety and law) boardwalk and great trail for bikes or skateboards. Anyplace near a beach and or body of water will get a high rating from me - a little on the biased side where our waterfront is concerned. I’m sure there are bathrooms - but you’d have to check location

    Peaceful and good for long walks. Very scenic beach. Can spend half a day easily alone or with friends having fun

    I love this place. You could spend your whole one summer day there if the weather let you.

    This area of the beach is always busy in the summer time. The pool is named after my Uncle Gus Ryder. He was marilyn bell's trainer first woman to swim across lake ontario. The pavilion is where people would gather to swim in the lake Over a hundred years ago.

    This park is lovely and has great views of the city! It was a little hazy when we went but that didn’t bother us. There’s also a pool, change rooms, showers, lifeguards at the beach, a park and we had some Pizza Pizza there as there was a large stand there.

    It's a great place to watch the annual air show. There's easy access to highways, and the public parking fee is reasonable, but it fills up quickly during the weekend after 10am. It's a fantastic spot for a picnic or a family gathering.

    The beach by the city! Picnics, Water sports, Volleyball, a long bike path by the water, really a huge surprise for me in TO.

  • 5/5 Vikramjeet S. 7 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Went here for the air show and honestly the views were great! If you’re not at CNE then maybe this can be a great option for you! Plus the beach was packed with people which I personally do not mind but I know some people might not be into that so if you’re here during the AirShow then just take that into consideration.

    Everything was so convenient to park and load off any equipment for the water, we had brought our paddleboard out to test the waters and it was perfectly done in no time and no struggle to get into the water , the views were beautiful too!

    Beautiful park in particular summer time is amazing around here. The vibe, hanging out, plenty of activities and exercise. Youth and families having party and BBQ. A nice refresh from the lake draft.

  • 5/5 Jeremy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful park right along the shore of Lake Ontario. Lots of runners, dog walkers, cyclists here. Both the cycling and pedestrian paths are well maintained. There are beaches here too with lots of geese and ducks. There is a paid parking lot here which is pretty easy to access from Lakeshore road. Very nice place to visit, especially in summer.
