I grew up visiting the park pretty often (attending summer camps and some of the classes offer…read morethroughout the year). I was always able to take public transit there or get my parents to drive me. It's a large park to have a stroll, picnic or to play in the playground. It was a lot of fun being there. I would be surprised and forget how big it was just cause I didn't always have the opportunity to explore the park. Also, I remember a time where people were able to fly kites till it was banned. I don't know if they still do fireworks. For a time, the park would arrange fireworks on Canada Day and a lot of people would attend. During events like this, people would park at the Alton Towers plaza, walked or transit there because parking was limited. Local high school students would do their volunteer hours at the community center on the park. I think they need to apply online through the main city website (if memory serves me correctly).

Some decent hills for toboganning in the winter too! Nice shady areas and a number of gazebos availble for private picnics (must reserve spot with city to obtain permit).

People there at all times of the day even on weekdays but never felt like its too crowded. Plenty of space for all to enjoy. Lots of parking. Ice cream truck is often in the lot by the playground selling the usual overpriced items. There is a washroom onsite.

Tucked away in midtown Toronto, Sherwood park offers a paved path that travels alongside a creek, a…read morebaseball diamond, plenty of grassy and wooded area, a playground and wading pool/water fountain for kids and a lovely off-leash area for dogs. The off-leash is at the far east end of the park. It's wide dirt pathways are fenced in, to prevent dogs from damaging the greenery, although small dogs with a healthy sense of mischief can easily wiggle through the fence. In June 2010 a new boardwalk pathway was added, descending down a hill to a looped pathway around the creek. The fence is removed in this lower area, providing an opportunity for dogs to romp in the water without breaking the rules. One noticeable problem with the off-leash area is the lack of garbage bins, so be prepared to tote that unpleasant baggie of dog poop until you re-enter the main park area. In the summertime the playground is packed with children and their nannies, your kids will mostly likely find friendly playmates among them. The dog park hosts a number of professional dog walkers, don't be surprised if you round a corner and run into 5+ wagging tails in a group, all competing for your attention.

There's parking space for about two dozen cars and a wonderful children's playground just off Brimley Road. Beyond that, one can take a long walk through a swath of parkland with a few benches to stop and soak in the surroundings. Free (funded by general taxpayers). Clean. Tranquil. A brief escape from the realities of daily life for most, including myself.

There is always wild life to observe and pedestrian friendly path that will make you want to keep on walking! A bridge at the end of the parking lot will take you over to the Pickering side where the waterfront trail continues well into the Durham region with expansive waterview most of the way. Definitely a great place to visit for some quiet time!

There is a network of wide gravel paths with nice water views of Lake Ontario. I was disheartened to see a lot of trash in the park. There were benches and tables throughout the park, but most people were enjoying sitting on the rocks. Many were taking photos. There were also grills and the smell of barbeque hit me. The bluffs are quite majestic. There is a restroom near the start of the path. The day I visited there was an ice cream food truck onsite. There is a large parking area which I had to circle multiple times before a space became available and when I left it took me over 20 minutes to get out of the lot and onto the main road. The Scarborough Bluffs are approximately 40 minutes from the Toronto airport .
