Food brought from home, and saw a lot of people were really relaxed there. Some people liked to exercise or biking there. There was a lighthouse there, but it was pretty windy. My kid's hat almost flew out. We walked along the beach to another side of the park, kid's playground. It's not really big, but there were 2 parts, one for adults and one for kids. We planned to let my kid play with sands before, but the sands were a bit rough, I was a bit worried it might have my kid's feet sole cut. And we also needed to go for a long walk by the lakeshore. It's a nice place for the weekend with families there. Let's go next time again.

Inadvertently discovered this little beachfront, lake and hiking trail. There's plenty of parking…read moreand lots of picnic tables for ones that just want to head down for a picnic. We came here mainly for a walk and managed to finish a section of a trail which spans about 4km both ways. Trail is decent but not as nice as the one in Rouge Valley. Trail is also a bit narrow and not many pretty sights or well maintained grasses along the way. Beach sand has lots of pebbles so not the greatest for barefoot adventures. You do get to approach a long dock with a lighthouse at the end of the path which gives you a nice open view of boats docked and sailed. Overall not much wow factor here asides from a little walk and some lakefront views. Unless you live in the neighborhood not worth the trip.

I can even feel the "ocean" breeze...and there is this sandy beach.... Beachfront Park is a little piece of paradise for everyone and even their dogs in Pickering.

The boardwalk also leads up to Ontario Power Generation's (OPG) giant wind turbine.. you can think of as an eye sore or the benefit of alternative power....

A Little Known Toronto - Scarborough Park…read more We love East Point Park for family adventures. Nestled along the Lake Ontario shores between Morningside Road and Port Union Road lies this little oasis. East Point Park has everything you need for a nice day with your family or a great way to spend the day with friends or your partners. It just happens to be one of Toronto's largest parkland areas along the City's east waterfront. Did you know It is also a migratory staging area for monarch butterflies and over 178 species of birds. There are many trails to explore and the park also has two level softball centre pavilion, washrooms, showers, change-rooms, umpire room, indoor lounge and outdoor patio. This is also one of the Parks that run along the Scarborough Bluffs. Like many of the parks along the water, there is always a nice cool breeze coming off the lake even on the hottest, muggiest days. Just off the trials, you can make way down to the beach, part sandy and part rocky shore. It's great for wading and calling off but be careful of the waves and the currents, there are warning signs everywhere, so swim at your own risk. You can also bring chairs and food so you can spend the day chilling out. East Point Park is a great way to spend the day.

Not long after the train tracks there's a parking lot on your right. We had originally parked there…read moreand saw at least 2 baseball diamonds. This didn't seem like the right place for a trail right beside the lake so we got back in the car and drove down the road for another couple of minutes. There's a treatment plant and another parking lot. We parked there and followed the paved trail towards, what we hoped, was the lake. It was very foggy that afternoon so the lake and sky blended in together and looked the same. A bit of the way down we started to see a small strip of sandy beach. We saw lots of geese but no other wildlife. If you continue on the trail you'll come to a fork. The trail that continues alongside the lake is to the Port Union Waterfront Park.

The parking lot here isn't huge so it can get busy but if you are able to find parking in one of the nearby streets and stroll down, you are in for a real treat. 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!

Very nice and long trail in midtown Toronto that is suitable for both walking and biking. It connects to the East Don Trail, which gives you a great opportunity to enjoy around 80 minute of walking.

Surprised there was very little review on this trail park. This is def a hidden gem of Toronto!…read moreFall foliage was absolutely stunning in late September to October. The trail itself was very scenic and something out of a movie scene. You start with a trail covered in an array of colourful leaves. The trail then led to a wide open park area with few picnic benches and a pond. If you continued further down, you'd reach the infamous rainbow tunnel. In the morning, this place was deathly quiet with only leaves rustling in the background. Very zen, and very soothing. Occasionally, you'd bump into the morning bikers or dog walkers. There was definitely enough space for social distance. If you'd like some nature photography and did not want to trek all the way to north to Algonquin, this is the place! There were two free parking spaces, one by the entrance where cars parked along the street and one small parking lot inside the trail. When I came in mid October, both were full by noon on a weekend. At around 11am, I was very fortunate that someone was leaving and got the last parking spot by the entrance. I also saw others had parked elsewhere in the neighborhoods and walked to the park. This park is worth to visit and for that breath of fresh air!
