    Its good place to go with your family or alone. Nice walk by the water. People walking near the water were friendly to . It is pretty friendly neighbourhood . You can have a picnic planned with your family or you can come here and walk with your partner and enjoy the beautiful view in the evening and i bet sun rise here is mesmerising for sure.

    Nice place for a stroll. Was there on a calm and warm day with few people around. It was good for a little walk, but not too much happening, or significant to see other than a far view of Toronto, a small lighthouse, and a little dock. It's worth a visit if you're in downtown Oakville, it's so close.

    Well maintained and a easy walk along a wharf or mole out to the light. Altogether a refreshing experience. Great view of Toronto on a clear day the park you cross to reach the dock is neat, well maintained and has interesting historical placs

    Oakville Lighthouse is a charming and picturesque destination. Its scenic views of the lake provide a tranquil experience, perfect for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers. The area is well-maintained, making it a delightful spot for a peaceful stroll or a quiet afternoon.

    You are allowed to lose yourself in the serenity of this place. Calm and constant waves breaking over the shore gives you the perfect weekend gateway. Not so far from GTA, one should visit this place when you are looking for a peaceful evening away from the city's crowd.

  • 5/5 Zahid Hussain B. 7 months ago on Google
    Want to come out of the city busy and noisy life, spend your evening here, you will not regret. If ur in the neighbourhood this is a must to go place, may be every weekend. Enjoy the boardwalk, have some me time or the time with your loved one and family.

    Scenic water front in Oakville, the light house is iconic spot for this location. Multiple yachts are parked around this park. It’s a perfect spot for photographers to capture some amazing sunsets. Really hard to find parking during weekends. Make sure to follow parking guidelines as city is very in active giving parking tickets.

    Basking in the beauty of Lighthouse Park in Oakville. The charming lighthouse stands as a beacon, guiding us to sweeping lake views and peaceful paths. A slice of maritime charm nestled in the heart of the town.

  • 5/5 Salman M. 1 year ago on Google
    We as a family visited the park beside the light house and did some walking. The paths were clean with readily available parking - might be due to temperature of 4C which is considered cold in Ontario. Another thing we love was village. The traditional roads/alleys/shops caught our interest immediately and gave us a relax feeling. I will definitely go back and explore the area more in Spring/Summers.

    A beautiful place and worth visiting the lighthouse.Amazing view of the lake and a great place to have family picnic.Highly recommended to visit once.

  • 4/5 Michi H (. 2 years ago on Google
    Although the lighthouse on the Pier in Riverside Park is more famous, there is actually a lovely lighthouse in Oakville Harbor as well. The contrast of red and white is very beautiful. You can see it from the trail leading to Tannery Park, so I recommend you take a walk there.

    Nice spot, very scenic. Good area to walk around and unwind.

  • 4/5 Melody D. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place to people watch on a sunny day. Sit back, watch the waves and enjoy a cup of tea. One of my favorite places in Oakville.

  • 5/5 Greeshma R. 1 year ago on Google
    Such a beautiful and scenic place to visit with family. Not much crowded, good for a walk. Though it was sunny, kids had to wear jackets because of the cold winds. We went in early Spring.

  • 5/5 A. J. 1 year ago on Google

    Great boat launch with ample parking.

  • 5/5 Ahad H. 3 years ago on Google
    Beautiful place and an awesome location for viewing the moon at night and a clear view of the Sun rise and sun β˜€ set... Go with a loved one and enjoy the peace and beauty of Nature

  • 3/5 RV, O. 4 years ago on Google
    Too sad to see irresponsible and inconsiderate people doing graffiti all over the landmark. The town has a graffiti crew who drives around the town looking for such defacing on private properties making property owners remove them but unfortunately they always tend to miss their own landmarks. The town should be maintaining their own property and install security cameras there to protect it. It's very sad but true.

    I often come out for a walk here. The scenery is good and you can feel the refreshing feeling if you walk for a while. People passing by are also kind and nice to take pictures. It is a good place to take a walk with your family and it is a very convenient place to park. It is also a good place for children.

    Clean, calm, great place to relax and a place to park your car.
