What an amazing experience!! This is my go to place whenever I am in my high or low spirits. I love to take random walks here. There are lots of existing places to visit here, small treks and sitting areas are amazing. You can come alone or with your family, this place will never let you down. 🙂↔️✴️

So it was the first time my family went there because we’ve just got our TRCA membership back in Feb, we didn’t have to pay for entry fee nor parking fee which was great. There were fewer visitors obviously, and the walk was relaxing. There were many big pieces of green to run around with, some people brought their dogs over. The park is located next to Lake Ontario in Ajax, so visitors can get close to the cliff and take a peek of the lake, although it’s not recommended by the park management. It was a pleasant 20-minutes walk on the park trail from one end to another, and towards the end of the trail is a large steel connecting bridge to a nearby neighborhood. We looked down the bridge to find a young deer fetching for food near the river towards the opening to Lake Ontario. I believe camp booking is available on this site as well. Lots of birds, some squirrels and occasionally a rabbit hopping in and out of the plants.

Nice place for the day. No room to stay overnight and gates close by 8 or 9 pm. Also there's a $25 parking fee for the day if you come by car. The pool will be closed for renovations for the summer season of 2024.

Beautiful views, picturesque and serene waterfronts and lovely walking paths. You do have to pay to park inside the park, but if you are okay with the walk in you can park on the surrounding streets and walk in. The picnic areas are well maintained. Lots of tall trees and shade.
