Nature. Berries. Bluffs. Beach. It was a lovely saunter... I had a chance to take it all in and recall what it was like when I was but a wee me. Next time, I'll pack a picnic. read more

I've come here with visitors from out of town twice and they've both liked it. Once was in the winter and once in the summer. It's a nice park all year round. There's walking trails everywhere as well as bbq stands, picnic tables and Muskoka chairs to sit and take in the view. FYI that parking is free until 5 pm Monday to Friday. A nice lady told us not to pay at the parking machine when we stood in front of it contemplating how much money to put in. read more

Even on a rainy, windy, unseasonably chilly early June day, you can see what the locals are gushing about. Not only do you get while of Sandy shore to tan on (when weather cooperates), hiking areas, lookouts, docks to set sail, lovely shaded park benches, and picnic areas. If you love a view, you can look outon the vastness of Lake Ontario. And, of course, don't miss the bluffs: High, silty, and (while significantly grayer), remind me of the White Cliffs of Dover. Enjoy your park, Torontoians! read more

Wow! What a beautiful place to relax and enjoy the day. Warning, DO NOT go when it's crowded (holidays or weekends) or you will truly miss out on seeing it's charm. To clarify Scarborough bluffs is comprised of several different parks. Here's a link to see all the parks that comprise "The Bluffs" www1.toronto.ca/wps/port... So many photo ops abound - nature trails, a bridge, beach, marina, bluffs, birds, benches...Lots of things to do like hiking, fishing, grilling (there are bbq grills and picnic benches set up throughout the parks), biking and just strolling. The trails connect you to the marina, beach and bluffs which has a beautiful view of Lake Ontario (water is clear and in some areas you can see different shades of blue). Make sure to take off your shoes and take a walk on the beach. There's nothing more relaxing than being by the beach, hearing the sound of the waves and burying your feet into the soft sand ahhhhh. Bring your volleyball net and set it up with the available poles. Beach volleyball is an even better workout than regular vball plus you get a soft place to land if you dive for a ball. They have paid parking but you can walk your way down to the park if you're up to it. There are friendly cops that patrol the area but do not get on their bad side by not paying for parking or feeding the birds, you will get a ticket. Me and my friends did chase after the birds though, made me feel like a kid again. TIPS - bring some food and drinks, a blanket, some mood music, comfortable shoes, a tent or beach umbrella and your significant other(s). Take the time, relax and enjoy life.... read more

A great place to go with the family in the summer! There's the park side, yatch side, and beach side! Plenty of walking trails for all! Come early though because there isn't always enough parking. Cops are frequently up the street counting cars and blocking the entry, so a lot of families coming after noon will walk all the way down from Kingston road. We usually come very early in the morning so there's still some parking left. read more

Scarborough Bluffs is so hyped up but it really does not stand up to how nice Bluffer's Park is. Bluffer's Park is a neighborhood gem - it's a clean and maintained park with family friendly walking paths, better views, and more activities. Scarborough Bluffs is just some random trail with several off the path areas that let you dangerously climb onto the rocks and take cool looking photos of the view below (which is Bluffer's Park). If you want to get views without effort, Bluffer's Park is it. Parking is very cheap and you can spend an hour or two here. There is a ton of space for large groups and several scenic spots in which you can take some really nice photos. You will see a lot of people motorboating by this park since it is near a yacht club. Highly recommend coming here on a clear summer day. read more

I've already reviewed the listing for the Scarborough Bluffs but Bluffer's Park is in fact a park, not just scenery or geographical topography. It's a place. 1 Brimley South would be accurate and while there's previous photos/postings for the cost of Green P parking. I was just there and there was no such thing. I'm not sure if they remove the requirement for paid parking after summer or not but this is the second time I've been where there was NO seemingly requirement for paid parking, none. The park is where I take most out of towners when I'm looking for something to do on a lazy Sunday while the weather is still relatively mild to enjoy the outdoors. If the skies are blue, the grass is still green and you don't need a thick jacket is a good time to check this place out. So yes, instead of that strange address that the Scarborough Bluffs has for perhaps the top cliff side, this address of 1 Brimley Road will take you down south of Kingston Road and down the path leading to the park where every time I've been seems to have a decent amount of parking. The park has some gravel paths some towards the lakefront and other that meander in a grassy area with some places to picnic and even have provided charcoal bbqs. Closer to the cliffs there's the storm water side which is normally closed off as far as the bridges and floating walkways go. If you head more west along the path you'll eventually get to the cove area which is open and the flat face of the bluffs that opens out to the lake where there is a bit of a curved shoreline. It's a really nice change of scenery considering most of our city is considered flat with the exception of a few rivers/valleys like the Humber or Don this is probably the most dramatic elevation change in the entire city being that they're vertical drop cliffs. read more

Went there during end if April. Good place for BBQ and walk around the waters. There were LOTs of mosquitoes though. And I mean LOTS. There used to be a place up the bluff where you can look down at the whole beach. But it got blocked off so you won't be able to go anymore. read more

I came here on quite a cold day, the first cold day of 2019 (or so I was told). We walked around a bit to enjoy the view, and it actually wasn't too cold. The sky was gray which reflected into the water, but the sand along the beach was nice. The mini lighthouse was cute too, and I could see boats in the marina. I was told this spot is really popping in summer, and I can see why. It's quiet, peaceful, and next to the water. If you have some time, I would definitely recommend coming to chill and hang out here, maybe walk around too! read more

The 'beach' part of the scarborough bluffs, and wow! Such a hidden gem. Honestly I had no idea that scarbs had a beach and I am just blown away by how close this is to me. I ended up in the bluffs' peak when I mapped how to get to the scarborough bluffs and then I had to google how to get down to the beach area, which is apparently called 'bluffer's park'. I think this place gets pretty packed on summer weekends and even weekdays, but since it's the middle of september in the middle of the week, it was quite empty and parking was easy to find. There's a sign that says parking is paid, but since we didn't see a meter or a person, we just went for free. The sand at bluffer's park is really soft, compared to woodbine beach. Is that because it's a man made park? The bluffs are very beautiful and I like the scenery a lot better than any other beach in toronto. I love looking up at the big rocks and bluffs above and seeing all the rocks that people can hike up to. Would definitely return! read more

Went on a hike along the lake with my puppy. She loved all the snow. First time seeing ducks and swans so close up. Beautiful day, beautiful scenery. read more

Loved this beach. We came here in March just to walk around as it was a nice day. Who knew such a beach existed? I would think during the summer months it would be a bi*ch to find parking as the lot is quite small which means you would have to walk from the main lot... ugh So beautiful here. The soft sand was amazing. I was expecting to find all sorts of debris like how it is at Ashbridges. But no... it was almost like I were in Mexico... except it was still 5 degrees here. We will definitely be back. read more

I'm sorry to all the Torontonians This place was a huge disappointment I was told it was beautiful, with hills and water and wildlife Coming from Scotland .... I guess my expectations were unrealistically high. I found it void of nature, instead replaced with discarded garbage, not one little stall for a refreshment .... And yes I'm sure that's not the point you take your own picnics..... But what else is there here ..... Some water and a hill. Sorry it's just not doing it for me Visited May 2015 read more

I always bring my visiting friends to this place. It's a Toronto staple and definitely better when someone from Scarborough takes you ().

So many different areas within the park to enjoy...be it the huge grasslands to have a picnic on or play various sports, tons of park benches strategically set up to look out over the bluffs, a fenced in off leash dog area with grass, or Of course, the beach! The road down to the beach is a bit steep, but it's well worth it. There's great little walking paths along the rocks and water that alternate between rock paths and narrow dirt paths between bushes and trees...quite enjoyable. We saw wild grapes growing! There are a few jetties that you can bring a chair and sit and feel like you're out at sea. The sounds of the waves hitting the rocks is truly therapeutic! We went on a Saturday in September so the summer crowds were missing (yay!) and the parking lots were basically empty. Just a few what appeared to be locals/neighborhood folk with their dogs. Definitely recommend if you enjoy the quiet outdoors and serene nature spots. read more

A lovely spot that I would go to more often except for two things: the steep access down Brimley Road and the limited paid parking. It is best to go on a weekday and when it is not crowded. There are plenty of spaces for sitting and enjoying the view, having picnics etc. Therefore, it is quite popular. We generally have good experiences there save one. We unfortunately came across an extremely unfriendly and unprofessional City male staff member that was locking up the women's bathrooms. He was rushing women out of the bathroom and would not let anyone in even though there were a few women in need to go. It was one minute to the bathroom closing time. We issued a complaint with the City since his behaviour was inappropriate. However, I do not think they did much about it. Be vigilant if you are using the facilities as we don't know if he still works there. read more
