(varies) The sandy area is quite large, lot's of room to spread out. The water is pretty clean, and is a nice temperature. You can also rent paddle boats and canoes and such for additional fees. They also have a large water slide for the kids to go on. Unfortunately, for some strange reason the day we went it was closed which disappointed the kids. This is a nice clean area to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and can enjoy the beach. 4/5

It also has a splash pad that kids can enjoy! don't forget the newly constructed library just beside the park that offers pool,indoor gym,outdoor and indoor basketball and multifunction rooms if you needed to host parties and events! All in all this is a must park to visit in meadowvale area!

Excellent neighbourhood park to visit during the fall. Similar to Lake Aquitaine Park in the west,…read morethe "lake" is an artificial stormwater management pond. I personally like it more than Lake Aquitaine which has way too many people. Lake Wabukayne is much more serene and quiet. I really enjoyed the changing leaves and observing the ducks paddling on the lake. Lake Wabukayne Park is interconnected with several other Mississauga parks through a continuous trail, linking Glen Eden Park, Maplewood Park, Lake Aquitaine Park, and Plowman's Park. This would be an excellent route for hiking, jogging, or race training since you can freely choose your distance with no traffic interruption.

Lake Wabukayne is part of the 4km Wabukayne trail, in the Meadowvale area. It was originally a pond…read moreon a farm, and then made into a small man-made storm lake by the city. That being said, it's a pleasant little escape which many would've passed unknowingly within metres driving along Erin Mills Pkwy. They've made a concerted effort to make it an active place for wildlife, so you'll see turtles, ducks, geese, various birds and so on. It has fairly dense tree growth, which provides some good cover in the summer, as well as giving more a sense of being away from it all. The paved trail around the lake itself is less than 1km, and you can probably do it in a 10 minute walk. It's not the type of place you'd come out of your way for, but I know locals must appreciate it since there's even an official "Friends of Wabukayne" preservation group and website. If you happen to be in the area, it's a nice spot to visit. I came across it originally because I was stuck waiting for car repairs at the dealership across the street and found it on my map. It proved to really improve my wait by having such a relaxing spot to read and walk. I don't think it has a designated parking lot, but Meadowvale Community Church's parking lot has an access point to the trail. It's at the back of the lot anyway, and I'm sure if you're respectful, it shouldn't be an issue.

We love going for nature walks and this is a beautiful trail with a lot of different types of trees. There are so many hidden unpaved paths as well, which just disconnects you from the world. In the morning if I have time, I always try to go for walk and weekends I try new hidden paths and sit near the creek and relax. On one of the hidden path, I once saw a deer and once I came across a tree which was burnt. Looked like it was struck by lightning. Hopefully I can try to go here every day before the winter comes.

This is a bit of an older centre, but could still merit 4 stars since it has a few things going for…read moreit: a warm kiddie/family pool, squash courts, multipurpose rooms available to rent (and you can rent the pool itself for parties), and a few other things. But what bothers me about this place are some of the patrons, and the lack of action on behalf of staff. My son has been coming here for lessons a couple weeks now, and it's common to see several parents walking through the showers and onto the pool deck with outdoor shoes on. You can literally see dirty water form whenever someone does this, and that's going in the pool or what your showing amongst. It's sad that it's not common knowledge and practice for all people to avoid this, but the facility also has a responsibility to post signs and enforce these rules. Both times I've spoken with staff, they agree with me but never acknowledge that they will do something about it and try to pass responsibility. (I.e. "talk to someone else). It speaks to the culture of this particular centre, as there's other city run facilities which don't have this issue. Please Loafer's Lake: address this.

Some of the cutouts have picnic benches as well which was a nice touch. There are also docks that seem well maintained at some of these points, it looks like it would be a good spot for fishing.

"Marie Curtis Park is named after the Longbranch Reeve (a small village) Mayor Marie Curtis and is one of the few beaches in North America named after a female community leader. This park was created in the late 1950s to help control flooding after Hurricane Hazel nearly swept local homes in the area out into Lake Ontario. Throughout this park, you can find an abundance of wildlife and native plants. There is a playground, wading pool, a public swimming beach, picnic spots and walking trails including a connection to the Waterfront Trail. You will always find something to do at Marie Curtis Park." There was a nice spot we parked near so we sat for a bit and watched the birds. A young girl and her grandparents arrived with bread and it didn't take long for all the birds to come over. There are a couple of piers and beaches. It's a cute park ... we'll be back!

Decades before the park had a basic boardwalk deck near the lake that you can feed ducks and pick crab apples, even raspberry. About five years ago the park was rehabilitated with permanent structure railing sections installed. The crab apples were removed and the wild raspberries were gone, but new infographics were placed. There were additional benches placed to make the park accessible. This park will have higher foot traffic at dawn as locals walk after dinner. If you follow the trails you can connect to Lake Aquitane. Near the school you will see Lake Wabukayne community contributors with garden and plants but during pandemic, there has been quite a bit of plant theft (sad).
