It's been recently revitalized with the grass and sand from the playground being removed and replaced with fresh wood chips and stone. Additionally a brand new playground has bee put up for the kids. It really looks great and is a fantastic destination for a picnic, or dare I say an outdoor wedding venue. The pathway leading up to the gazebo are set up perfect for a wedding aisle and on a clear day the views of the Toronto skyline are second to none. For something really cool come on a stormy day and watch how intense the waves get here - they rival that of massive hurricane style waves. Great spot for scenic photography, nature and maybe even a picnic

It was such a nice day (sunny and 24C) so Gord and I drove to Marie Curtis Park this morning to go…read morefor a walk. It's about a 20 minute drive west of us and is a park we've never been to. "Marie Curtis Park is named after the Longbranch Reeve (a small village) Mayor Marie Curtis and is one of the few beaches in North America named after a female community leader. This park was created in the late 1950s to help control flooding after Hurricane Hazel nearly swept local homes in the area out into Lake Ontario. Throughout this park, you can find an abundance of wildlife and native plants. There is a playground, wading pool, a public swimming beach, picnic spots and walking trails including a connection to the Waterfront Trail. You will always find something to do at Marie Curtis Park." There was a nice spot we parked near so we sat for a bit and watched the birds. A young girl and her grandparents arrived with bread and it didn't take long for all the birds to come over. There are a couple of piers and beaches. It's a cute park ... we'll be back!

Pro tip: if you're planning to come here in the summer time, pack a picnic and bring bathing suits for the kids as there is a splash pad. Try to arrive early as parking is limited.

There are plenty of fun playhouses and an apparatus for kids to play and have fun. Adults can spent time strolling around and enjoying the greenery. There are benches and places to sit if you want to people-watch. It housed a ton of ribfest vendors. I can see why many events end up being held here. It's a perfect place to have fun and relax. Parking can be a bit of a problem if there is an event. I had first thought about parking at the Port Credit Library lot, but it was full. Side street parking was crazy. I ended up landing a spot at the Port Credit GO and walking over to the park. I'd love to come back to this park, unwind, and see what it's like without the ribfest activities happening. I suspect that I should have an easier time finding parking. (273)
