One of the best recreational spots in Brampton. The best to visit this lake is morning and evening. Most of the visitors come here for morning or evening walk or stroll. The water is very clear and ease to view the base of lake with naked eyes. Moreover, this recreational lake is nature habitats or home of many birds like ducks.

A peaceful place to get your mind fresh. The waves are so deep. Whenever, I visit there I forget about everything. It has park too to walk if someone wants to move around. Such a loving place!!

The beach is awesome and the staff are super nice. Its very much a family oriented beach. They rent paddleboat for $10, canoes for $6.3, kayaks $9.2, and stand up paddle board for $11. The entry fee for adults is $4.25 and kids $3 and Group of 4 are for $12 There are two beach volleyball nets and a water slide for kids. Please note that BBQ’s are prohibited.

Loved it, the lake water was very clean and perfect temperature. Very good spot for picnics, swimming. Parking, toilets and changing room on facility. Canoeing and water float available.

It's a very beautiful place to sit and relax with your family or friends. Fishing🎣 is also allowed. It also has children's park nearby for them to enjoy!

What a gem! Very reasonably priced to rent canoes/kayaks. $8 for 30 minutes to rent a canoe! Sadly the beach was closed due to water quality. Will call in advance next time or check the website. Didn’t know you can book a canoe/kayak in advance either.

Great place to go with family, they have a family area of the lake which is "swimable" or you can go alone for a peaceful time by yourself to clear your head. Also great trail to walk your dog.

If you want beach in the city, where else can you go. 2 life gaurd, swim test if you want go to the deep end, canoe rentals and a snack bar. Has a slide plus and concrete wheelchair ramp close to the water edge. Very cost effective especially since you can stay an unlimited time. Indoor pools are great, but they are 1 hour slots. Professors lake does not have time limits, so you could come in the morning and stay until 650 pm

The best beach so far for me! Considering we're in the middle (beginning) of a pandemic, this beach & its staff are doing a great job with giving us a way to enjoy summer while still keeping safe. PROS - Free Parking - 30min drive from Toronto - $15 for a 3hr reservation of 6ppl max -Debit or Credit (call ahead to reserve) - Reserved Beach spots are spaced out, roped off & numbered - Staff are wearing masks - Life Guards on Duty ( - First Aid Tent - Washrooms (must wear a mask) - Entrance & Exit (muat wrar a mask) - Beach (no mask needed) - Staff made sure only 1 group at a time walked from the indoor Building Entrance to the Beach - Staff brought us all the way to our beach spot - Spotless Beach (zero trash) CONS - A little amount of Lake version of seaweed is present when you get to the 4 foot mark of water (not a big deal to me but others who dont usually swim got scared off) - Tiny Fish swimming around the shore line (again, no biggie, something whinners would call out)

Kayaking is operated by teenage kids who are there to sunbath and hang out. They are unprofessional. Gave me a safety vest 3 sizes too large just because it was already out. So it was up my face and ears the entire time. My kayak was not prep properly, it was tilted the whole time. I kept circling and twisting in the lake, had to work extra hard to go forward. They focused on helping the families and older couples. They didn't really teach me anything, "just paddle" they said. "It's harder than it looks. You're doing good for a beginner." After circling for half an hour, I was so frustrated. Considered jumping off, abandon ship and swim to shore. One kid noticed that I was just sitting in the middle of the lake, came to see what happened, he then realized the lever thingy was not set properly. After he fixed it, I only had to use 1/3 of the effort. But I have already wasted half hour twisting left and right. They offered no apologies for not getting me proper equipment. Similar thing happened the second class. Management did not reply my complaint. Total waste of time.

Visited on 13th October, Halloween event by City of Brampton. Parking fuller than how a full would appear. Not the ideal place for an event like this if parking cannot be arranged for incoming crowd. Result - couldn’t even enter the place, after spending about 30 mins and waiting in both halves of parking for a miracle to happen we decided to leave. For good, never coming back here for this event or any similar future event.

Such a calm place to relax, meditate and even have a family picnic.

Beach in the middle Brampton, warm shallow water, clean sand, food stand, washrooms and change rooms, kayak, pedal boats and paddling, life guards... Like what more can you ask for? Oh it's also accessible for wheel chair users.

I enjoyed my first visit to Professor’s Lake. I brought my own kayak and spent $6.00 for the full day access. There are two parking lots. If you are bringing your own craft, I would suggest the second lot closer to the lake. Buy your ticket inside and show your receipt at the gate to be let in. Even if the lake is closed for swimming, it will still be open for water craft activities.

Went here in summer season with friends and family. Was amazed to see the mini beach cum lake vibe coming from the place. We sat on a bench enjoyed brunch and spent a few hours. The environment was good and safe for kids too. Boating options were also available if you go before 4pm or so. Entry fee of 4.5$ which is totally reasonable and justifies the place.

Lovely lake, but a miserable experience with Covid protocols, which take away some of the enjoyment when using the amenities. However, the staff do work hard at ensuring everyone's safety.

One of my favorite places in Brampton. The walk around the lake is lovely. It goes through the neighborhood at some points. The parking lot is large. Paddle-boats are available for rent at the recreation center. The beach is accessed and paid for through the recreation centre.

absolutely beautiful and absolutely perfect Don Doan Trail. Must go and take a walk over there

A Very good experience of kayaking back in March and July 2019

Amazing and quiet place for a walk early in the morning !

Cute little walk to take your pups on! Clean, there’s poop bags available. Lots of park benches

They are open on labour day. And rentals are cheap.

There are rooms for events rentals. Busy during the summer months but not sure what types of activities take place during the winter period. Ample parking.

Boat rentals were cheap and fun, definitely a fun pass time if your into nature and boating. Kayaks were clean. And staff were helpful

Nothing interesting

Awesome place.

Good place, scenic lake view

The party rooms are big with a nice view

Very good place with a very pleasent view of lake. Ideal place to arrange parties specially in Summer.

Very nice place to relax

Kids love it here

I have been coming to this beach for almost 30 years and I still love it! Finally had a chance to visit with the new covid restrictions and they have done an amazing job making a safe and enjoyable experience for all. Highly recommend this beach!

This place is near by my house, i visit everyday during summers. Place full of excitement, great place to walk and jog. The houses nearby are the really great.

Nice small lake to canoe or for paddle boats. Nice and quiet to enjoy the water. We enjoy our canoeing trip there today

The new booking system sucks, please have your website updated and train your staff to provide consistent information. I called to make a reservation for kayak rental for 2 people for Saturday afternoon and was told they no longer accept phone booking so I was like okay I’ll be in the area Friday afternoon so I can stop by to make reservations in person. Then when I got there around 6pm on Friday, they told me no we can’t do reservations now you can call us tomorrow Saturday morning and we can put down your name. Then I called them again on Saturday morning and was told the same thing, no phone bookings since people didn’t show up before and advised it’s best to book in person on the day of. Now I’m wondering by the time I get there what if there’s no more slots available since Saturday in summer is always busy and booked up. The staffs I talked to were all really nice but seems like none of them had the same information. I probably sound like a Karen complaining (I should’ve asked for more clarifications during the first call) but the reservations system needs improvement, can you just allow people book online and charge us in advance plus a non refundable cancellation within 24 hours? It’s that easy! Ughh it’s a nice place with great pricing, perhaps only works for people live close to the lake :(

Great place to walk around the lake, swim on the beach, go on the water slide, play volleyball on the beach, rent a canoe or pedal boat... Also the water is supervised during operating hours with staff, life guards and rescue boats The rec center itself has a patio, concession/food counter, and washroom facilities.... Hours should be a bit longer during the summer days. Overall great job by the city of Brampton

Great experience boats ride are $10 per boat to take ride!!!

Very clean well kept beach. A little more shaded area would be nice but a very nice beach to go to. The concession stand isn't expensive at all if you choose that route

My favourite vacation spot it’s beach for me and my daughter. I don’t drive far it’s easy , affordable, most convenient and best place to hang around

No body assist you as per appointment time. 1 waited in line for 40mintutes in rain last night even though I had appointment time for my Covid 19 swab test. Time management is really very poor.

Great to have a beach so close

Nice

Great place plan to visit

A little pricey to rent kayaks and paddle boards for family of four.

Beautiful view! Small, but nice beach area. Kayaking, paddle boating and more.

Nice park and trails also relaxing place to fish without driving up north. If the fish are biting. But here I'm strictly catch and release. But still good spots to try out new fishing gear

Its ok for fishing

Was closed coz of covid but walked around a bit. Love the fact that there's a beach. Looks like there'll be lots to do in the summer

Nyc place in the city to hangout

Beautiful lake and looks much better when frozen like this

Great outdoor space within a welcoming neighbourhood. Great place to visit. Much better to live.

What a great location in the GTA to feel like it's not in the city. Plenty of parking, admissions cheap and the water is nice and clean to swim in. Lots of stuff to do for kids as well.

The beach area is very well maintained clean and many lifeguards on duty. Showers and water slide then there are paddle boats to rent. very fun day

Perfect for a short break. Clean beach area. Boating is an added fun feature..

Nice Beach to hang out in summer... Clean and well maintained. They also have a trail, pedal and paddle boats and a water slide for the kids to enjoy

Great to have a lake with clean, swimmable water completely within a city. What a rarity.

Great place to go to relax, walk the dog or enjoy with family or that special some one!

Fun place to take the children

Love this area of Brampton

Had a birthday party for my kid there. The availability for dates were hard to find but price for booking was reasonable with a beautiful view of the lake. A highly recommended for parties and functions.

Nice place for a party lots of parking and even an elevator.

Love this place

Area was nice. Employee was kinda pushy, but you never know what they were going through.

Water was very drity n smelly

Beautiful scenery and short walkway, great place for fishing pike trout and other small fish. No washrooms at the moment

❤

It's was aight

Good place to go in evening in my neighborhood

Nice to go for a walk. If you want to take professional photos you might need a permit though

Very nice clean and was not overly crowded

Amazing place to visit , I love it 😀.Good time to spend on weekends.

Great!

I enjoyed myself very much with my daughter we rented a canoe and went to each end of the lake it's not Algonquin that's for sure but it's a little feeling of being up north in a big city and I love that there are some homes along the lake I would definitely buy a house on the lake ♡♡♡♡♡♡
