👍👍 Beautiful little park tucked away at the of third street. Great view of the city. There is a small parking lot. I am sure it gets busy in the summer. The skating rink is huge and well maintained. People often mention lake, park, city, kids, nice, great, views, Toronto, spot,

    My family and I went to scatter my father's ashes today. There is a designated area for that and it's perfectly legal.

    Fantastic!! Great Outdoor Space to feed the Ducklings 🐥 and Canadian Geese 🦆 Super Park for Families, Nature Lovers, Cyclists 🚴‍♂️ and Senior Citizens too. Picnic tables & benches are available also. During Spring or Summer this is a nice destination to have a picnic with your loved one(s). My Daughter loves the kiddie wading pool 💧 during warmer months too. Certified City Employed Lifeguards are always on-site.

    This is charming small park in quiet neighborhood. Parking lot for dozen of cars, never busy, nice size playground and splash pad for kids, washrooms, two tennis courts (or skating rink at winter) and Waterfront Trail pass through it. On grassy field few picnic tables and benches facing water, with memorable views of the lake or skyline of downtown Toronto. All surrounded by sizeable trees that give enough shade for pleasant outdoor dining or entertaining conversations. Comfortable park with lakefront breeze. Worth the effort. Yours to discover.

    Beautiful little spot. Lots of parking and sitting throughout. Playground for small kids. Access to water via an old concrete boat launch, however the water bottom can be fairly slippery due to algae.

    It is a very nice park. We saw lots of seagulls, ducks, geese, and a swan. Sometimes the lake doesn't smell too good but that doesn't happen often. The skyline of downtown looks beautiful from there.

    This Park hold something special for me. It's down the street from my grandparents house. My cousins and I used to come here when we were little when my parents took us up Canada. I brought my family to this park my son loves it. I hope to keep coming here with my kids. And I will always have fond memories of this place.

    Beautiful, serene, perfect view of the water and city life. Enjoyed my time there while visiting Canada, hopeful to be back when it’s warm to fully enjoy!! I noticed they had ice skating going on here while we visited.

    Beautiful and Relaxing location. Stunning views of the lake and the city skyline. Good location to swim, although no life guards. An excellent location to enjoy the refreshing breeze off the lake. Free limited parking is a plus-plus.

    Nice spot to kick it, gaze at the city from the nice selection of benches. In the winter, the nearby rink is a good spot to skate or join a little shinny game.

    This place is amazing. You have a great view of Ontario Lake and also of the city of Toronto. There are some tables and a rink where you can play. Moreover there is a playground for children.

    For the city it's one of the better spots to shoot astrophotography getting as far out into the lake on some type of dock,peer,etc etc as far as you possibly can from the light pollution and will definitely be going back there to shoot again

  • 5/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    I don’t want to give away too many secrets but there’s a spot near the water that’s perfect if you can find it and get there before other groups.

  • 5/5 Madhav D. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely scenic place to relax in the evening. Loved the waves hitting against the rock..the wind and the view of a part of the city against the coastline. Must place to see for New comers to Toronto

    Beautiful rink and the location is gorgeous

  • 5/5 William B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a great place to come and get a perfect sunrise.

  • 4/5 Spencer S. 1 year ago on Google
    An excellent park providing A1 views of the Toronto skyline. This is about as good as it gets for this area if you want to sit and meditate, or walk around, or having a family picnic. However, this place is virtually impossible to navigate around in the dark. The street lights are not enough for this area. There must be more lights amongst the grass so the pedestrians can see where they're walking on! Especially if you have a hard time walking, or you accidentally trip on something.

    Great park, playground, green space, tennis courts, hocmey/skating in the winter. Summer wading pool is lots of fun for kids. Mid day drain from 1-3pm.

  • 5/5 Chris P. 1 year ago on Google
    Clean, well maintained and lovely views! Lots of fresh berries along the trails and everyone is very friendly!

    The location is by the lake, and there is street parking. The wading pool is great for kids. Unfortunately, the jungle gym has components broken and the height of some features are too high for young kids, which are clearly the target audience. As example, there are "piano keys" that cannot be reached, a rolling rattle, which would be great for 1-2 year olds is placed at adult height. The following components are broken: the telescope, the viewing windows by the gears and 3 of the musical keys.

    Overlooking our great city of Toronto skyline, and Lake Ontario. Our small group of about 15 enjoyed a picnic and games under the trees

    This spot is a go to spot for me and my partner. Having a good vibe day, we will be enjoying over pizza here. Have a sunny day, it will just two of us with a mat and some home made sandwiches. Feel like having heart to heart chats and long walks, we will be here.❤️

    Great place to sit in your car and see the lake or barbecue just by the lake. Tables overseeing the lake and have dinner lunch..

👍👍 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...
