I have been to East Park dozens of times since I myself was a kid and I can honestly say that I…read morehave never had a bad time here. The one thing I will mention off the hop is that the park has been around for almost 50 years and some areas would benefit from being refreshed a little more often. There have been times when the mini golf or arcade in particular seemed a little worse for wear. On the plus side, there is a LOT to do there. Over and above the aforementioned mini golf, there is a standard golf course, waterslides, batting cages, go-karts, climbing wall, driving range and even summer day camps are offered. There's no question is can make for an expensive day for a family, but it doesn't have to be if you plan accordingly. They often have specials and offer packages that can make it at least slightly more affordable. While anecdotally I've heard some complain about the golf course, I actually think it is well laid out and maintained - but only issues over the years have only been that it's been a bit overcrowded on a few occasions. It's not the city's most well maintained course or its most challenging - but offers a good day of golf at a reasonable price. I have not, for a variety of reasons, tried the go-karts of water park lately but I can assure you that my boys absolutely love them. The club house is nice and the back patio offers a great view of a green that makes it a perfect place for a meal or snack when whether permits. While the menu is limited - the food is pretty good and not overly expensive. Things hot dogs and french fries and the sort. If you're looking for a way to have some fun with the kids you could certainly do worse than East Park. In fact, its one of my boys favourite places in the city. We don't go too often - but its always a great time when we do.

"They didn't have many and the bullet and caterpillar are the only good ones" -mr 9 The splash pad was good but if that's all your going for I would just go to one of the free city ones. The iced cream wasn't too bad but we had to cut our eating time short because of the bees. No ones fault but still a pain. I also found it was a pain picking up the tickets because of the loud sounds inside the building. I couldn't wait to get out. If you can get out of the city there are better places but if your here it's not a wasted day out

This was a pretty good one, guys! It was big butt not too big plus it had a fun little swampy meadow plus big fields of grassycarpet plus a mini troll bridge and climb-y bits for kidlings who want to do monkey-type goofballery, butt just not many trees! Truestory it was sooperhot plus there wasn't many shady spots to cool off in! It's right next to MisterRiver though, so that's pretty good plus it is right next to a whole 18 hole Frisbee golf course too! Did you know? It is sort of close to Vauxhall Park, so you can get two parks in one if you want to take a big walk! Not too shabby on a cooler daytimes, park! The end.

3 star place, but with 5 star value…read more This is a fairly small place that's not necessarily a destination spot for families to travel a good amount of distance for. With that said, it's very affordable and well-suited to families who have kids in the 3-12 age range. A great spot for locals or if you happen to be with your family in the area. For just under $30, a family can enter the park which has: an outdoor pool, a 20 ft. spiral water slide, a 'lazy river' tube ride, picnic benches (you can bring in outside food), and a kids playground. For another $5 (total), everyone in the family can have access the mini golf course - though its certainly an older run-down one. Finally, there's also a batting cage and it was fairly cheap too. The concession had the standard items such as hot dogs, hamburgers and sausages, along with chips and chocolate bars. Again, quite cheap and nothing was over $3.50. They even grill the food on the BBQ to order. That pretty much describes the place. Fairly simple, but also very affordable and a sure-fire way to enjoy a day with family on a warm summer's day.

This park was getting a whole new rollycar road when we checked it out so all the burly constructionhatmen and noisy ta rmaking machines made it sooperstinky! Butt that is not why I gave it 2.5 snorts though guys. There's just not so many trees and most of this whole entire park is for baseballery and other sporty bits! Not so awesome for doggies, but it is pretty close to MisterRiver plus it has some of those crazy frisbee golf thingees from the next park over (St. Julien Park), so that's pretty cool and stuff too! The end.

You know that saying that good things come in threes? Well, it happened to me yesterday…read more I found out through Los Rolling Tacos, a food truck that travels around the Wellington area, that it would be at Riverside Park for the Cambridge Kin Carnival. Three great things: - Riverside Park - Cambridge Kin Carnival - Los Rolling Tacos This review will cover all three. The Cambridge Kin Carnival hasn't been on since the pandemic hit in 2020. It finally returned this year. I grew up in the Beaches. There used to be a carnival every year at Greenwood Racetrack, which used to be on the southwest corner of Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. These days, it's a community of townhouses, condos, and businesses. I loved that carnival. Rides. Food. Games. So much fun and great memories! Riverside Park is huge. It makes sense why this park is ideal for large events. This carnival is pretty large to accommodate all the rides, games, and food trucks. I only caught what I felt was a subsection of the entire park. It has a greenhouse, a baseball diamond, a playground, a hiking trail, and lots of picnic tables. It's stunning with all the greenery and flowers. The entrance is cool. There is a dedication to World War II veterans. You also encounter a rock that is over a billion years old. Wow! There is parking at this park. It's all free. However, with the carnival, spaces were all taken and folks were parking off to the side next to the trees, parallel to Grand River. I parked across the street where there were more spots. I realized later that I had parked behind the Preston Electric Power House, which is deemed a historic site. It was free parking, too. The carnival was so much fun. Games catered more to kids, but adults were playing them like kids, too. Each play was 25 cents, which was reminiscent to how much it was when I was a kid. Everything from bashing gophers to playing the bowling game was all there. There were plenty of rides. You need to get tickets first before going on the rides. Some were catered to kids and those who want something calmer, such as the carousel and ferris wheel. If you are more adventurous, there were the Ali Baba and Avalanche rides. Expect lots of screaming when you are in the vicinity. There were several food trucks. The one with ice cream and popsicles had the most business. I was ready for lunch, so I had tacos from Los Rolling Taco. I got three tacos for $18: - Birria (beef) - Al pastor (pork) - Tinga (chicken) All three were gluten-free. The filling in all tacos were generous. The proteins were flavourful and tender. I enjoyed every taco and dipping them into the sauces that accompanied them. I bought a can of Diet Coke. Sadly, I didn't realize that I didn't get it until I was halfway through eating. I went back to the truck to get it. The man thought that he had given it to me. Nope, I needed to wash my food down. He gave me a can. It wasn't cold, which was the only minor damper to my experience. This truck accepted debit and credit cards. I brought cash and didn't use it, but it was there just in case. The carnival had a blocked-off area with benches. I asked if I could eat in there. The nice security guy said yes as long as I was 19 years of age and older. Sweet! It was by the stage where a dance troop was about to showcase their routines. There are washrooms everywhere. It was such a large area that it was comfortable walking around, even with so many folks attending the carnival. It is a picturesque park, especially by the river and where the greenhouse is. I'd love to return again just to walk around when there isn't a major carnival happening! It was such a great visit. I'm so glad that I took in a carnival with great food at a wonderful park. (182)

There was only two holes (11 and 16) that seem to have had a little work. Other than that the course IS DISGUSTING AND DANGEROUS. I tripped a few times on the walks in between the holes and on places where the carpet either was buckled you could not make a put without having to clear debris off of the holes. The Mini Putt should be inspected and SHUTDOWN FOR SAFETY REASONS. I asked who the owners were when we returned our clubs. The person in there said him and his Dad owned it. I said you should be ashamed of the course. He just shrugged his shoulders and basically saying with his body language that he didn't care. I have never run across a business that operates this way. No care for customer safety or the condition of the course. For your own SAFETY, STAY AWAY FROM THE MINI PUTT.
