Best Park in Canada

G	Gaby on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The quality of the water does not match the photos at all. I went today expecting a cleanly clear lake but it was nowhere near clear or clean. It was murky brown and full of algae/moss. It was so much that it got stuck in our hair and stayed trapped under our bathing suits. I would advise against bringing kids here- that water is definitely not healthy to ingest. Also, near the shallow there are very sharp rocks/shells which isn't the safest or most comfortable for kids. To top it off, there is a very noticeable smell that is comez from the water. The parking is very limited in the area of the lake. There are perhaps 30 spots that get filled by 11am and don't empty until 6pm.
B	B. Gallego on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little park to walk! It extends to the west end a little bit but if you keep walking west, it connects to Burloak Waterfront Park - about a 15 minute walk. There a few benches around and some access to the water. A great day to spend with friends and the family. Lots of dog walkers as well!
E	Elena Rotestan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice little park, with public washroom, and free parking. The little beach is nice for kids as the water is very shallow, at least it was on my visit. Bring your snacks if planning to stay long as nothing is for sell food wise. I went on a weekday and it was very quiet and peaceful. SUP or kayaking is a great idea.
A	Alaleh - FoodyTO on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small and cozy park with access to the water. It connects to the Burloak Waterfront Park from the west and you can walk on the trail beside the water to the west and enjoy both parks. It has a nice view of the Lake Ontario and Toronto skyline. There are benches around the park and close to the water and you also can access the water from the sandy beach. Nice area for kids to play beside the water.
T	Tanya B on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great little getaway! There is a waterfront path that you can walk or simply go to the beach. The beach is sand but also has sea shells thus would recommend to bring water shoes. It does have a really small parking lot so would recommend to come here really early if you're planning to spend the day swimming. Or you can park at Shell Park and wheel your things over in a wagon. They're not to far from each other. There's one gazebo at the beach as well. And a more nature like path to the beach vs taking the stairs but not recommended if you're carrying more than a backpack. The photos of the tree trunks and berries are from that path. The other side of the park near the parking lot has a kids playground and you can also walk down to the rocks. It did smell a bit because of all the algae that dried up but it is a nice spot to relaxing at anyway.
P	Pallavi H on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A very nice place to spend some quality time with the family.. good for kids too..a small parking is right outside the park (usually it’s full so you can park right across the road or at the shell park which is nearby) there are few slides and swings for kids to enjoy. Public washrooms are available. On one side there is a small waterfront area which has stones and is quite beautiful. And on the other side there is sand on the beach where you can sit and relax and kids can play in the sand and enjoy the beach (clean beach). There were a few barbecue, so I guess the beach is barbecue friendly. There are trees near the beach which provide shade in the sun. You get a nice place to sit so not a busy beach to say. Overall a Wonderful experience.
R	Rochelle Pereira on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful park that is still off the radar of many making it less crowded. The park has a rocky area and then a beach area with sand. Whilst the park is beautiful with a lovely walking trail, the water had a lot of algae today and was the low point. But the picturesque background and great views made up for it. There are a few benches and a gazebo with 2 tables. But feel free to get your mats and the view from the grass. Our highlight was later in the afternoon when we went to the rocky side just in front of the parking and saw clear water crashing like waves. It's a small area but gave a very Caribbean feel. The kids enjoyed this the most but be careful if you small kids. Washrooms were clean and next to parking. There's also some slides n a play area for little kids. Overall, great experience.
D	Danny Chin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ First time here.... what a beautiful spot for sunrise. Absolutely gorgeous! Well manicured park with many safe access to Lake Ontario. The waterfront was very clean and well maintained. There is also a small children's playground that will keep the kids occupied while the adults can soak in the beauty of the lakefront.
