This historic park at the beach in Toronto Ontario Canada stretches from Queensland Street to Lake…read moreOntario. Purchased by the city in 1907, it's known for its Victorian-era design and mature trees. This free park includes a baseball diamond, tennis courts, a playground, a wading pool, picnic tables, a fenced dog area, green space and walking. The park connects to the boardwalk and beach along Lake Ontario. We had a nice stroll and enjoyed the scenery throughout the park and boardwalk.

This more a park (baseball diamond, a few sports courts, picnic tables, an elaborate gazebo, & a…read morekids' playscape), than a garden. And certainly not worth the $47CAD Uber trip from downtown. It's right next to the beach, so not a total bust. Grab lunch from anyplace along Queen street and eat it at the beach. Waters are crystal blue and the boardwalk is well maintained (at least the area near Kew).

Tip: San Lorenzo Ruiz Catholic Elementary School and Bur Oak Secondary School use this park for…read moretheir physical education activities. Wismer Park is located on Bur Oak Avenue. It's a fairly large park with roughly 100 parking spots. Alternatively, you can park on the side streets. It is a popular park in Markham with these amenities: - Picnic tables - Playgrounds (2) - Mini soccer fields (4) - Basketball court - Tennis courts / Pickleball (2) - Splash pad I like the trees in this park. They are lovely, especially to seek shade when it's hot! I like dropping by to sit, relax, and enjoy a nature break. It's a nice change of pace. The city of Markham has plans to improve this park. Some of the upcoming additions include the following: - A mini artificial turf soccer pitch - A synthetic ice rink - A multi-purpose sports court - Eighty additional parking spots I'm not sure when the completion date will be. I do look forward to seeing the new additions once they are done. I like this park a lot. (337)

Popular East Markham Park !!!…read more We have been going to Wismer Park for years. I remember when I lived in the Cornell/Greensboro neighbourhoods this is the park I would take my kids to when they younger. Wismer Park has many features that can be enjoyed by families and people of all ages. On the outskirts of the park you'll find extensive stretches of grass, great for frisbee, or letting your kids run around. You will also find Tennis courts, soccer fields, two playgrounds, one for toddlers and one for bigger kids and a very good size woodlot with a few kilometres of walking paths. We love to go there in the spring so we can enjoy our Provincial Flower the Trillium. The woodlot is full of them in late spring, and I'm sure many people go there in spring to see the Trilliums as well. Wismer Park is just one of Markham's parks but a favourite for East Markham's residents. I'm sure you will enjoy it too.

When you think of a big park, this one really isn't. This park is actually a small, reclaimed…read morecorner piece of land that would hardly have been anything more than a holding place for garbage bins if it weren't the local community "taking back an orphaned area and making it a green space to be enjoyed" (1) For those who walk through the Beaches Cinema and have noticed many tall, blue, rulers sticking out from the ground, then you have come to Measurement Park. It's a neat little area fun for kids and adults to measure oneself and to be silly. I really like the idea of taking what can be presumed as wasted space, and to inject some artwork and life, making the whole Beaches area that much more interesting. This isn't a park where you can run around and roll in acres and acres of grass, but rather, a small bit of distraction on your path to somewhere else. For those who frequent the area, drop by this small plot of land and have some measured fun! (1): http://www.snapbeaches.com/index.php?option=com_sngevents&id%5B%5D=12284

You will find an ice skating rink by Winter and a splash pad by Summer, in the commons and there are some eateries on the ground level the adjacent apartment buildings. Even though there is a rink, there is no skate rentals, so you have to bring your own skates to enjoy. The park opened in 2009 and spans over 3 and a half acres. It was designed to be fully accessible for people with disabilities. This a nice wide, paved pathway that runs along the side of the Commons from the street to the waterfront that is popular with dog walkers and jogger alike, that want to enjoy the scenic river. This spot is easily accessible by public transit (it has its own bus stop) and there is metered street parking and commercial lots within a reasonable walking distance. The commons has a huge patch of green space with benches and picnic tables. There is enough green space to have a picnic, layout, play catch, or hold a soccer game. Off to the side of the green space is a stage area, which has restrooms on the opposite side, facing the skating rink. This is a nice spot to just hang out and chill. It is well deserving of the accolades and awards it has received.

Some grass, a few benches, a really nice spot for a walk or bike ride along the water, but that was it. Clearly, this is an up-and-coming and gentrifying area with the modern office and condo buildings. I have no doubt that it's way better than whatever it used to be. But it's not much for activity right now. [Review 10984 overall, 756 of 2019.]

The pond is surrounded by a red mosaic-tiled sitting wall; of course, it had to be red in colour! Adjacent office towers get a high aerial vantage point to view the heart in its entirety. The park occupies 8,100 square metres (2 acres). This site used to have a circular eastbound off-ramp from the Gardiner Expressway, and was called York Street Park. The major concrete structure has been converted into a lush park. It is quite a departure from the concrete jungle of downtown Toronto. Two mature trees have been retained, and new trees have been planted lining the sidewalks along the perimeter. One of the trees, a Northern Catalpa tree, is on its own island on one side of the pond. There are bronze-cast native-Canadian animal sculptures around the park: beaver, bear, fox, squirrel, rabbit, opossum, owl, woodpecker, etc. On the southeast corner, there is an outdoor seating area, great for relaxation or a snack/meal break. On the northeast corner, there is a dog off-leash area. There are park benches and a water bottle filling station. There is no children's playground. There is no free WiFi. The park is wheelchair accessible. There are no washrooms. There are expensive paid parking lots. Review 2023-220

This park is my favourite of several small parks that sit just behind Bloor in the village…read more Actually, the whole planning of these parks (I think there are four or five of them) are really cool, because they run parallel with Bloor so if you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the village, you can just pop into one of the parks but still walk in the direction you need to go. I like this park the best because it doesn't have a high nanny factor during the day, not that I don't like kids or nannies (I've been both) but it's just that when you want a moment of solitude, children are not always the best people to be around. In the summer people sprawl under the big oaks in this park like you wouldn't believe. Or maybe you would. Are you a sprawler?
