During the pandemic, I almost went there every day to ride my bicycle, go fishing, take a walk, and enjoy the scenery. It’s like a treasure in downtown for me. It’s inconvenient to use the restroom when you go deep inside the park. Pets are not allowed, which was good for my daughter who is afraid of big dogs.

A great place for a long(!) walk in Toronto. Such a nice escape from the city and filled with picturesque wildlife. Lots of bikers and runners there too.
If you’re a pet parent, be aware that there are no dogs allowed in the park.

please respect this conversation area, pick up your trash, respect wildlife, and stay on the trail.

incredible park to get some of the best views of the city while surrounded by nature. extremely thankful the city is investing in preserving this area for Toronto’s wildlife. It’s a great spot to go for a walk, run or cycle. There are no toilets nor garbage bins to plan ahead. There are poisonous plants if you step outside the trail, so watch out for yourself and if you’re visiting with kids, keep an eye on them. And again, pick up after yourself and respect the signage this is a nature reserve as well.

I’d be careful at night as it’s a popular spot for people to come for a smoke or a drink.

A nice long trail with views of the city.
Expect to spend at least 30 minutes here by bike and well over an hour by walking.
Bike parking and car parking for about 50 at the entrance.
Rental bikes also available.
Washrooms available at the entrance.

Biked here on a Tuesday evening (open to the public at 4pm I believe), and it wasn’t very busy — plenty of room to move. The bugs weren’t too bad for the end of May; it was a sunny day. Simple path in and out with lots of little foot trails here and there. You are only permitted to ride on the main paved sections, with a gravel path at the end near the lighthouse, so if you are cycling, this is a fairly easy route. The pavement is bumpy in places though, so do mind where you put your attention. It is quite serene here — a gem of ride or hike with views of the downtown skyline. Great jaunt away from the hustle and bustle. There is a parking lot at the beginning of the park, quite easy to get to; a water fountain to fill your bottle and all different types of birds for those who keep track of such things. 🙂 Will definitely be riding here again soon.

One of the best parks in the Toronto area, this park offers a fantastic biking and walking trail with a focus on wildlife conservation. You'll have the opportunity to spot a wide variety of birds, reptiles, and fish. The park staff is incredibly knowledgeable and can provide valuable insights. It's worth noting that there are several poisonous plants in the park, so exercise caution and stick to the designated trail—avoid taking shortcuts.

Went there in April. Maybe better during late Spring or early Summer. Took us an hour to walk from the entrance to the light house. I think it's great for bikers and bird watching. Bring water and be sun protected.
