Since the body of water is surrounded by the park I think that the water would be pretty calm. There's an accessible access point to the beach closer to AE Crookes Park. I didn't venture onto the beach so I'm not sure how fine the sand is. There are some parts that are definitely more pebbles and stones than sand. The park also has a picnic shelter with many picnic tables underneath it and washrooms. Just outside of the picnic shelter is a charcoal bbq grill with a bin close by to put the hot coals in when you're done with them. The Waterfront Trail snakes through this park. It's quite a peaceful and shaded walk.

BOTTOM LINE: A cute little parkette that has good accessibility options…read more PRO-TIP: Parking at AE Crookes Park "next door" gives you easy access to both to both RK McMillan Park and the Lakefront Promenade Park, but the former is definitely the better park for a stroll. If you're out in this end of town, I would still recommend the Colonel Samuel Smith Park first, but this is a cute option to check out. The RK McMillan park has fully paved paths for pedestrians and it's connected to the bike path that winds its way along the lake shore. If you start off at AE Crookes Park, you get a nice loop along the pebbly beach, through the park, and back. If you fancy continuing on, you can visit the Lakefront Promenade Park, but that's much more of a launching point for boats than anything else. Recently both these parks have made a name for themselves for Harlequin duck sightings, so good luck to all you bird nerds!

Beautiful park along the water! You can see the Toronto Skyline in the distance from the lake and…read morethere's also a hiking trail as well. I went during the weekday so it wasn't too busy and was pretty quiet. Apparently it gets pretty busy on the weekends though. The park also has a BBQ area but it might be by permit only since I saw a sign posted of the parties who had reserved the area by permit. This spot would be perfect for a date/picnic, especially during the warm summer months. It makes a great gathering area for family friendly activities as well!

There are bus stops nearby but it may take a while (at least for me when I was too young to drive). Also, parking is pretty limited. Even though I don't have a dog, I found it cool that Jack Darling Park has an off leash dog park. I didn't realize it was one till I was volunteering at the tennis courts nearby years ago.

Make sure to bring water, sunscreen and hat or umbrella. The trails were pretty well kept and had a mix of shade and unshaded areas. Most of the trails and picnic areas were pretty quiet and looked to be not very busy. I think there were some parts of the trails that were off leash dog areas. When we were there, the barn area wasn't really opened to the public (in terms of looking inside them).

Bronte Creek is one of the two provincial parks in the GTA. There is an entrance fee, so I would…read moresuggest getting the Ontario Parks pass from your local library to enter and to park for free. 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.

It's great park for walks. It is really popular spot during spring to fall. Trails were pretty wide…read moreso you can be walking along side people biking and a family walking with a stroller.

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!

The Humber River Recreational Trail goes through this park. It's a nice walk by the Humber River with lots of trees and various trails that stem from the main one. There are 2 paths; one for walking and the other for mixed use (walking, cycling, jogging). Dogs must be kept on a leash and there's plenty of signs posted advising of coyotes in the area.

There are spacious areas of grass great for picnics and photoshoots. I went on a Friday afternoon and amount of people was not a whole lot which helped with social distancing. There are a lot of geese near the pond with the turtle statue so walking in one perimeter of it was not a positive experience.
