You know that saying that good things come in threes? Well, it happened to me yesterday…read more I found out through Los Rolling Tacos, a food truck that travels around the Wellington area, that it would be at Riverside Park for the Cambridge Kin Carnival. Three great things: - Riverside Park - Cambridge Kin Carnival - Los Rolling Tacos This review will cover all three. The Cambridge Kin Carnival hasn't been on since the pandemic hit in 2020. It finally returned this year. I grew up in the Beaches. There used to be a carnival every year at Greenwood Racetrack, which used to be on the southwest corner of Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. These days, it's a community of townhouses, condos, and businesses. I loved that carnival. Rides. Food. Games. So much fun and great memories! Riverside Park is huge. It makes sense why this park is ideal for large events. This carnival is pretty large to accommodate all the rides, games, and food trucks. I only caught what I felt was a subsection of the entire park. It has a greenhouse, a baseball diamond, a playground, a hiking trail, and lots of picnic tables. It's stunning with all the greenery and flowers. The entrance is cool. There is a dedication to World War II veterans. You also encounter a rock that is over a billion years old. Wow! There is parking at this park. It's all free. However, with the carnival, spaces were all taken and folks were parking off to the side next to the trees, parallel to Grand River. I parked across the street where there were more spots. I realized later that I had parked behind the Preston Electric Power House, which is deemed a historic site. It was free parking, too. The carnival was so much fun. Games catered more to kids, but adults were playing them like kids, too. Each play was 25 cents, which was reminiscent to how much it was when I was a kid. Everything from bashing gophers to playing the bowling game was all there. There were plenty of rides. You need to get tickets first before going on the rides. Some were catered to kids and those who want something calmer, such as the carousel and ferris wheel. If you are more adventurous, there were the Ali Baba and Avalanche rides. Expect lots of screaming when you are in the vicinity. There were several food trucks. The one with ice cream and popsicles had the most business. I was ready for lunch, so I had tacos from Los Rolling Taco. I got three tacos for $18: - Birria (beef) - Al pastor (pork) - Tinga (chicken) All three were gluten-free. The filling in all tacos were generous. The proteins were flavourful and tender. I enjoyed every taco and dipping them into the sauces that accompanied them. I bought a can of Diet Coke. Sadly, I didn't realize that I didn't get it until I was halfway through eating. I went back to the truck to get it. The man thought that he had given it to me. Nope, I needed to wash my food down. He gave me a can. It wasn't cold, which was the only minor damper to my experience. This truck accepted debit and credit cards. I brought cash and didn't use it, but it was there just in case. The carnival had a blocked-off area with benches. I asked if I could eat in there. The nice security guy said yes as long as I was 19 years of age and older. Sweet! It was by the stage where a dance troop was about to showcase their routines. There are washrooms everywhere. It was such a large area that it was comfortable walking around, even with so many folks attending the carnival. It is a picturesque park, especially by the river and where the greenhouse is. I'd love to return again just to walk around when there isn't a major carnival happening! It was such a great visit. I'm so glad that I took in a carnival with great food at a wonderful park. (182)

If you are looking for a place to have a family outdoor gathering with plenty of space for the kids to play, this is the place. The best part is the view of the lake is spectacular. It was so quaint and peaceful! We strolled along the lake and then just relaxed in the Marina picnic area for lunch. Considering it was a Thanksgiving long weekend, this place was relatively quiet. It's definitely a hidden gem.

It's an enormous park which has plenty of trails, picnic benches, and activities to do such as a small beach, kayaking or swimming in the lake, or playing sports or games with friends and family in the parks. There is even a horse trail! Pet friendly and even when the park is full, it does not feel congested. Parking is $15 for vehicle and driver plus $5 per passenger. I found this to be a bit expensive.

The park is well-maintained and you can easily follow physical distancing protocols. The playground and splash pad are conveniently located side by side and would be great for kids to spend time there and enjoy summer. There are many restaurants and cafes in the area; especially the waterfront restaurants are a great place to enjoy both your meal and Skyway Bridge and Lake Ontario view.

We went when the cherry blossoms were beginning to bloom but it was a tad bit early for the other floral arrangements to bloom in their outdoor gardens so it still felt winter-like. We started at one location early in the morning with the Arboretum. That's where you pay $25 to drive your vehicle in. Parking is ample early in the morning but when we left an hour or two later, there was a conga line of vehicles waiting to get in. So, yes you have to be there at least at around 8 AM if you don't want to wait in line or find parking. Parking is free at the main RBG region with their inside greenhouse region plus their outside garden. What I didn't like was that you had to drive out afterwards to go to the Rock Garden where you had to show your tickets again for entrance. Parking was still free though. So, overall, a lot of driving from one location to another (at least three) and a lot of walking. If you want to bring slow-walking seniors, good luck. It's beautiful scenery but a lot of walking involved.

This is a nice park with lots of hiking trails and lush woods, offering plenty of shades on a sunny day. The only trail that allows you to go down to the creek is #6 Half Moon Valley Trail. I would also recommend #4 Lookout Ravine Trail which is almost completely covered by trees and would be beautiful in the fall. You shouldn't miss the famous White Oak Tree, likely germinated since 1685 and at least 300 years old, close to parking lot A. The Spruce Lane Farmhouse is another highlight near parking lot F, which is a Victorian-style house showing visitors what life was like back then. The antique furniture, well-decorated rooms, farm equipment, and friendly volunteers wearing Victorian costumes gave us an immersive experience at the farm. The only problem is that the amenities are a bit dated, especially with the signage. The park staffs should hand out free maps as you enter the park, and there should be more directions as to where you are. I often had to rely on Google to check location and the pre-downloaded map from their website. The swimming pool remains under renovation as of summer 2024, so the park is not yet at its full potential.

This beach spans the length of Van Wagner's Beach Rd. The beach is long and narrow. The sand is gray and quite clean. The water quality passes its test 95%+ of the time. The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail runs through it, which is used for walking, jogging, and bicycling. There is a large parking lot spanning part of the length of the beach. The parking will be quite full when the day has temperature 18C+ and sunny. There are 4 spots for charging electric vehicles and very few disability spots. An insistution is Hutch's on the Beach, which is an extremely popular restaurant for burgers, fish & chips, ice cream, and milk shakes. Expect long line ups during nice weather days. There is no free WiFi. The park is wheelchair accessible. There are no washrooms, but you could try using the restaurant's washrooms. There is free parking in the private parking lot with a few disability spots. Review 2023-074
