The parking is paid and can be paid for by either the parking meters installed at the park or through the website (the QR code on the meters or use the site https://parkedin.com/?). It's all beautifully laid, you can see people kayaking, rowing, etc. it's a quiet park, I'd say. As you can see, the sunset views are astonishing. I just couldn't take my eyes off of it. All in all, I highly recommend this park for all ages.

Nice park in the Oak Ridges neighborhood of Richmond Hill. One of the only lakes in the GTA where…read moreyou can do water sports in calm water such as kayaking, paddle boarding and canoeing. There is a very small beach - Sunset Beach where you can launch your watercraft. Don't advise swimming in the lake - probably high bacterial counts. There's a nice trail and boardwalk close to the beach and some picnic areas a bit higher up along with a splash pad. Plenty of parking - free if Richmond Hill resident with pass. Others have to pay. Gets very busy on Summer weekends.

So many wonderful features here: -free parking in two lots (that would NEVER happen in Vancouver) -a walk around the pond involves a flat trail, one foot bridge, and one stretch of boardwalk through a marshy patch -you never know what wild birds you might see and/or hear here (we saw a heron in the pond, and I heard the call of loons! For real!) -there is a lovely canopy of trees over the walking trail (which was very welcome, on the hot day I visited), and plenty of benches to relax along the way -there are areas of grassy meadow lands on small hills in areas by the walking trail, perfect for a picnic or throwing a frisbee on a nice day -my Toronto friend says sometimes she's seen people fishing in the pond! What a great, little oasis right in the city!

I grew up visiting the park pretty often (attending summer camps and some of the classes offer…read morethroughout the year). I was always able to take public transit there or get my parents to drive me. It's a large park to have a stroll, picnic or to play in the playground. It was a lot of fun being there. I would be surprised and forget how big it was just cause I didn't always have the opportunity to explore the park. Also, I remember a time where people were able to fly kites till it was banned. I don't know if they still do fireworks. For a time, the park would arrange fireworks on Canada Day and a lot of people would attend. During events like this, people would park at the Alton Towers plaza, walked or transit there because parking was limited. Local high school students would do their volunteer hours at the community center on the park. I think they need to apply online through the main city website (if memory serves me correctly).

Some decent hills for toboganning in the winter too! Nice shady areas and a number of gazebos availble for private picnics (must reserve spot with city to obtain permit). Well maintained garden area thats beautifu in the summer. Short trail with nice views of the foliage in the fall. A great park to visit during all seasons. Very lively place. People there at all times of the day even on weekdays but never felt like its too crowded. Plenty of space for all to enjoy. Lots of parking. Ice cream truck is often in the lot by the playground selling the usual overpriced items. There is a washroom onsite.

How did I not know about this hidden gem? A family friend told me to visit, and we did! Parking…read morewas plentiful and free! I would highly suggest to the City, that signs be posted on how to actually get to the waterfront! After parking, the washrooms are to your right, and there seems to be a small walking trail to the left. So, which way to go? We ended up going left, which led us nowhere after a few minutes, but no problem we just backtracked. To the RIGHT, keep walking, and you will see a small underpass, take that and keep walking .... to the waterfront, and a bike trail. We took a ton of photos, and I always feel like I'm on vacation when I'm next to the water! Suggestions: 1. Take and wear sunscreen and a hat 2. Bring a water bottle, there are no stores in the immediate area 3. Bring insect repellent, there are a lot of flies and mosquitoes 4. Wear comfortable shoes 5. I didn't see any picnic tables, except near the entrance, so if you want to eat, you can do so before or after

The parking lot here isn't huge so it can get busy but if you are able to find parking in one of the nearby streets and stroll down, you are in for a real treat. There is always wild life to observe and pedestrian friendly path that will make you want to keep on walking! A bridge at the end of the parking lot will take you over to the Pickering side where the waterfront trail continues well into the Durham region with expansive waterview most of the way. Definitely a great place to visit for some quiet time!

Ah yes. This place…read more To the north, you have three soccer fields, two tennis courts, a playground, a running track, a gazebo, and a water park. The water park is really lackluster, no one uses it. The gazebo is regularly occupied in the morning by Asian grannies doing tai chi. A sight to behold. The south has a baseball field, a larger playground, a skatepark, a basketball court, two more tennis courts, and another soccer field. This half is often bustling with activity, especially in the summer. The place looks right proper and is well-maintained by the staff. The pond is a nice touch that is surrounded by the verdant fields. If you haven't come to this place for a little walk, give it a try. Just look out for the geese.

We could still find a parking spot. Some ppl parked on the side of street. The park is neither small or big, medium size. There is kid's playground and trails, a small lake. Some trail was still covered by the snow or wet. We walked slowly that still could take me an hour to go through different trails. It will be better to walk around during summer. It's a nice place to abtain some sunshine.

It's just north of the hospital and is easy to miss since I rarely drive up this way. One of the best parts about the park is the free parking just south of the park. The trail is somewhat circular, and can vary from 2-3 km depending on where you walk. The trails are pretty easy and flat. The trails on the north side of the park pass by residential back yards and are primarily dirt trails, which can get muddy after a rain. You also pass by some nice brick houses on the west side of the park. Overall, a pretty nice walk if you're looking for something easy and don't want to break a sweat.

I also checked out Dandelion Café at Edwards Gardens, a charming spot tucked inside the Toronto Botanical Garden's historic barn courtyard.

The menu offers light bites, drinks, and sweet treats, with heartier options like wood-fired pizza and grilled dishes on summer music nights. Service is friendly, the atmosphere is peaceful, and the seasonal hours make it a lovely warm-weather destination. A hidden gem for a relaxing coffee or snack surrounded by nature. I really enjoyed the smoothie popsicles and Nanaimo bar. Definitely will be back again.
