There will be people walking in the water. Be careful if you are walking through the water. Also, there are giant rocks and logs to sit on. I feel like Tiffany Falls is somewhere you go in the autumn. You would see the leaves being colors. There's a small fee enter (around $11/vehicle). It's done through a park kisok. You can use the same parking ticket at Sherman Falls within around 2 hours or so. The price not too bad for vehicle with at least 3 people. The parking area is really small. If you visit in the afternoon, you are going to wait a bit or park at Sherman Falls and walk (around 20 min) to Tiffany Falls. There isn't really a closer relatively larger parking lot.

I don't know how well enforced it is, but feel free to give your parking receipt to someone else when you leave. $8 seems a lot for a waterfall! I was here in July so nothing frozen and no fall colors but still magnificent. a 21 meter (64 foot) cascade roars away. The path through the woods is very well marked and easy to follow up it's clear that some folks think it's okay to wander off the path. I stuck to the route and the observation platform. Partly because I'm a rule follow and partly because I'm the clumsy sort that would fall and hurt myself. Leave only footprints, take only photos. And if you can pick up some of the litter that others have left behind, you're a rockstar! [Review 1460 of 2024 - 138 in Ontario - 22483 overall]

I used to walk along the Marguerite Ormiston trailway a few times during my free time at school. It's pretty quiet and easy to walk around if you don't mind the hill. The trails are pretty wide with several benches. Walking around during the summer and winter was pretty nice, especially in the afternoon and during sunsets. Make sure to watch your step during the winter.

It's not too bad for vehicle with at least 3 people. There's lots of parking nearby. Trails by Tews and Webster's Falls are pretty well maintained and quiet. They are pretty short so it's should good for anyone who doesn't like long hikes. Also, there are picnic benches if you are planning to bring food.

I stayed overnight in Oakville after a rather long travel day. I was exhausted, especially when my flight was delayed and everyone on it ended up sitting at the gate at Toronto Pearson for an extra thirty minutes. Anyway, I was fortunate to get a late checkout at the hotel. I grabbed a bite to each and drove over to Coronation Park. You can't miss it if you're driving on Lakeshore Road. It's a large, beautiful park. I was hungry (I slept in until 11 am, so this meal was breakfast). I didn't manage taking any photos of this park. I'll need to the next time I'm in the area. It has a parking lot. I'd guess that it has at least 200 parking spaces. I had no problem finding a spot at nearly 1 pm on a Tuesday. However, if there's a festival or some event happening at this park, I can see parking being a problem. It's a lovely park, whether you are walking through it to soak in the views and Lake Ontario, or you're bringing the kids and family for an outing. It has a waterfront path where you can walk, bike, run, or skate. I liked seeing a large gazebo. It had picnic benches under it where you can enjoy food and drinks with family and friends. For kids, there's a splash pad in the summertime. It also has playgrounds for kids to run around and play I saw volleyball courts. If you're into volleyball, this park is definitely for you. There are public washrooms. I did see a snack bar, but I couldn't tell if it was open for business when I was here. I was too focused eating! It was a pleasant surprise to find this park. I'd return again when I'm not hungry, to focus on its beauty more. (293)

He was also my production assistant for this leg of Chicken Wars, as we did 3 tissi reviews in this park... that sentence would have been complete gibberish to me 3 months ago lol. As tradition holds with my reviews of parks, I'm gonna let off some steam. I'm tired. Ever since me reviewing rotisserie chickens in outdoor spaces went semi-viral, I've been giving this everything I got. My entire soul. I've sat at my corporate 9-5 job for years dreaming about something like this to happen, so when it finally did, I was ready. I pounced. I said to myself "yeah you're exhausted, but this is the time. It's quite literally now or never." I've given it everything, so at least at the end of the day I can look myself in the mirror and say I tried. I tried my best. Working a 9-5 job in tech sales while doing the writing, editing, eating, filming, traveling, etc. for this has taken every ounce of my being. It's starting to get to me. I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining at all, I'm actually extremely grateful, but I just want to stay raw and honest. The reality is there are highs and lows with everything, and I'm just trying to learn how to navigate them. Seeing that Sports Science guy end it all the other day made me so sad. Like damn that guy brought so much joy to my childhood. Even he was going through it!?!? He looked so happy all the time. I just think it's important to get this stuff out of my head and onto metaphorical paper. Maybe this one should have just stayed in my journal, but whatever. I think it will be cool to come back in 10 years and read this and either laugh at myself for being a dork, or be like "damn I was spitting." That's why I love writing so much.

I don't think the trails will be accessible in the winter. It's pretty quiet and easy to hike if you don't mind the hill. The park and trails are not very busy. You will get the occasional dirt bikes and people. The path can be narrow at times so it may not be for people who like some space to move around a bit. The trail enterances are by Homer Watson Blvd and Mill Park Dr. Also, there is parking nearby (by Schneider Creek & the Walter Bean Grand River Trail).

The Tropical Greenhouse just opened and there's even a (premature) rose garden. Greenhouse is a bit on the small side and it was very humid inside. There were set trails to walk on, most of which were shaded. Other than a French Festival that was going on at the time, this park was pretty dead. If this place was downtown Toronto, it would be jammed packed!

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.

If I happen to visit again I'll try and find a trail that goes to the base of the bowl for a different view.
