Centennial park is an expansive park in the west end Toronto. The cherry blossoms trees were numerous! Everyone was well behaved at this park. There was free parking by the driving range. Only thing I didn't see on my walk were public bathrooms. The bike baths were large, well paved and clean. I'll absolutely be back year after year for the Cherry Blossoms! read more

It was a boring Sunday afternoon and after spending the last few days cooped in, I needed to get some fresh air. Trouble is, where I live is way too busy and even thinking about doing something relaxing seems out of the question. Hence I was so surprised when this park, just a short drive away, came up. Centennial Park is wonderful. A quiet, but not too quiet, little escape. Free parking is a bonus, with a beautiful conservatory as you enter full of lush greenery and plants galore, you'll be sure to spend a couple of lazy afternoons here. You can take a nice stroll around, sit by the river, play disc golf or even have a barbecue with friends or family. Definitely one I will be visiting again. Washrooms are also in the conservatory and are very clean! read more

Best alternative place to see Cherry Blossom in Toronto 1) Much less crowned than High Park. 2) Many parking spaces are available, especially during weekdays. 3) There are not as many Cherry Blossom trees as High Park, but there are still plenty of them. Just make sure you skip the perk hours and enjoy. read more

My workplace held a picnic at Centennial Park last Wednesday. This park is the second-closest one by our workplace. It is also massive! My workplace holds a number activities here, from go-kart racing to health activities. It's funny, but I have never been around for them until this picnic happened. This park takes roughly twenty minutes to walk over there from work. It was a hot 28°C. I drove my intern over instead. There was plenty of parking, which was free. It had rained overnight, so there were puddles in the parking area. We walked past the batting cages to get to field 5. I didn't see a map that indicated which field was what. I followed strategically placed balloons that organizers had placed and got to the picnic area in one piece. We were under a roof with benches. We helped ourselves to croissant sandwiches, pizza, fruit, drinks, and more. We needed a field to play soccer. I didn't play, as I had sandals on and no one wants to see me sweat up a storm without a change of clothes. This park has garbage receptacles. There was also public washrooms close by. I need to come back here to check out the conservatory one of these days. I enjoyed taking a break from work for nearly two hours with colleagues. (378) read more

I never been to Centennial Park until now. The Park is HUGE. Apparently there are 463 cherry trees planted in the park located in northeast of the Park Conservatory as well as along Rathburn Road and Centennial Park Boulevard. We came on a windy, rainy weekdays. The winds were blowing all these pretty sakura on the roadway. The trees are small but I could imagine how pretty they will be in the future! I will be back to explore the Park a little more when I am in the area. read more

Review is for the seasonal ski operation. So I'm an intermediate -expert skier, trying to learn snowboarding. I gave this location a try because when you're a beginner it doesnt matter where you go, you just need to learn the basics. How to stop, how to go, how to turn, how to avoid people obstacles. So today is -12, feels like -18 with the wind chill and snow machine is running. We had a bad melt the past week so today one hill is operating. I came here because I saw the city of Toronto website say that it cost $12 for the Learning Area pass. So I went up to the window and I said I wanted that. The girl looked at me funny, because I'm not a toddler, I'm an adult. And she was very nice to say theres no lift there. I said oh, where is it. It's my first time snowboard. She started describing to me....and then I saw what was a tobagonning hill with stakes plastic poles. I see... I moved to book the adult rate that was 19.50$ for one hour. They are nice to give you an extra 15min to get yourself set up. I think this location is great if your a parent who wants a convenient place to dump the kids, it's pretty safe. I did notice the operators do not ski or snowboard. I also noticed there was no safety guy just standing on the top to rescue any bad falls. I did notice first aid just follows the lesson groups. So if you sign your child for a lesson it should be safe. Sign up your kids to run free, I dunno, check with them if first aid is watching a the top because the guys operating the lift won't see much. The individuals running lessons and first aid along the lessons appear very young; I'm not sure if the individuals running the lessons are certified. They may be young adults who know how to ski or snowboard-not sure. The lift ticket gave access to a magic carpet. It's okay. Value wise, I think most ski hills have a 25 to 35$ discovery area with magic carpets. This hill is basically the equivalent. I found even with just one hill, there are ice chunks and was not manicured the best being the only hill. For people with families they do run an after 4pm $29snow pass for 1 adult and 2 kids (so three people for one price), that's a great value. I wish they had a rate for two adults or two new ski or snowboarder because the demographic for beginners also includes adults. If you are trying for their learning area for $12 just try a tobagonning hill. I saw parents towing their kids with PVC pipe and rope... For value of all day fun go to Milton, Oshawa or Barrie. The 25 to 35 rate will cover all day fun so you aren't watching the clock with a combo of magic carpet and T bars. I also found after wiping out five times no one caught up to me to see if I was okay, no one hollered. At the more popular destination, people are nice to respond-- myself included when I see someone wipe out and I'm on skis I respond give a holler, they respond they're okay and I move on so they don't feel too embarrassed. So I do not think this location staffs enough people to respond to accidents, unless you're at the lessons. I really couldnt believe no one responded to me after I wiped out five times. I also found this location unfun??? When I go to ski hills, the lift operators actually ski and snowboard, the people are nice, strangers having random conversation, music blasting. Strangers actually helping you learn and when you wipe out people coming to your rescue....its fun. Going to Centennial felt like a solitude adventure :( I might give this place another try when it's less icy. read more

Huge park. If you're inviting a bunch of friends make sure you pinpoint your exact location as simply saying "meet us at Centennial park" won't cut it! Perfect for picnics. Plenty of parking spots. If you're using public transport then your best bet is Renforth transit way station then Uber / Lyft to the park. Take advantage while the weather permits! read more

Word of advice, don't come here in the night time. This park attracts a lot of creeps and weirdos who parks right beside you in the parking lot and stares at you. Some high beams you. I think some of these men have nothing better to do or just goes there to "blow off some steam" if you know what I mean. If you do come here at night, come in groups read more

Beautiful, HUGE open space with peaceful ponds to picnic, stroll, jog, bike, play soccer, baseball, cricket or 18 hole disc golf. There is even a ski and snowboard centre! Lots of parking. read more

This is the largest city park in central Etobicoke and also borders Mississauga both to the north and west. This park has a variety of sports related facilities and buildings including a ski chalet, pool and gymnasium facilities (Etobicoke Olympium), ice arena, stadium with field for track, football, soccer, and softball. There are also go karts and golf course as well as the conservatory which is a large greenhouse. Centennial hill is a large man made mound close to the middle of the park. It is sort of hard to miss considering it's a hill while everything else around is pretty flat. This hill if I recall correctly was made of landfill a very long time ago. It's used for sledding and skiing in the winter months. I took swimming lessons at the Olympium a couple years ago but it was closed a while ago because of renovations they are making in preparations for the Pan Am games in 2015. Every Canada Day long weekend Centennial Park is the site for Toronto's Rib Fest. This is when the park gets really packed and the event is very popular so the local streets become quite busy. There is a very large picnic area near the Rathburn side and a pond that I used to go fish years ago. I believe back in the day it was stocked with bass but I don't know if they still do that. TIP: the main road to access this park from any of the highways is Rathburn Road from the 427 or Renforth Drive from the 401. Both of these streets towards the park are both only 40km/h. Renforth especially looks like a 60 km/h road but it's only 40 as there are multiple schools on Renforth and Rathburn too. read more

I have only been here in the autumn and the winter, and I haven't fully used the facilities yet, but I do enjoy coming here. It is a nice, large neighborhood park, with a lot of different facilities, and plenty of places for a good walk. There are a ton of parking lots, which is really nice for me because I usually leave my car here while I explore Toronto with Lee. Thus far my car has been left unmolested, although I might be a little nervous about leaving it overnight. I'm definitely looking forward to spending more time here once things warm up this year. read more

I've attended rib fest at Centennial Park for several years around Canada Day. The park is spacious and is a great location to hosts the annual event. Outside the gates surrounding the event, there are tons of green space to park your blankets and have a picnic, which is particularly great for families. The downfall with the park is that there are several parking lots. Ribfest can do a better job at specifying with signs which parking lots are closest to the event. During my 1st year attending the festival, my husband and I walked over 15 minutes from the parking lot to the ribfest. As for the festival, it's amazing with tons of vendors serving deep fried onions, beer, corn... and ribs! The festival had lots of seating. One improvement would be to provide umbrellas or cover for the seating area in case it rains or to block the sun rays on super hot days. There was little shelter which can be tough for the kids. Aside from rib fest, the park hosts tons of sports tournaments, one or more soccer fields, baseball diamond(s) and go-karts. Great Park overall. read more

This is my winter review of Centennial Park Ski Centre. Despite having days well over 10 deg in February the city will tell you once they are open they are open! Currently offering 2 hills a couple hundred yards long.. one serviced by a "magic carpet" and the other by a T-bar. This is the perfect hill for your first intro to the sport and you will quickly move up to larger runs. Prices are pretty high for what you get but rental equipment is decent and you save in gas! Check out my photos! read more

I'm not sure if I was just in the wrong area, but while driving along Centennial Park Road, a very winding one, what I saw of Centennial Park was that there really wasn't much happening there. It's like a large open space, full of rolling hills, probably with the highest and best use of a giant toilet for dogs who are taken out by their owners. I did see the infamous Go-Kart track, but it looked abandoned/out-of-commission. I also saw a sign pointing to a "beach", but that was difficult for me to believe 'cause where's the body of water? Really not pretty during this particular time of year. Greige and muddy. read more

Haven't been here since I was a kid and now that we were back visiting, we took our kids. Beautiful conservatory, well maintained and lots of great photo opps. The one playground by the conservatory could use more seating for parents and maybe upgrade the plqygeound itself but great park! read more

Great place to catch some baseball games and drink some beers at the small indoor serving station. The Mrs. plays the occasional softball game here and we always have a good time. They even have basic food like burgers and fries and grilled cheese sandwiches. Better than your average outdoor baseball diamond, for sure read more
