of my favorite spots to visit, just minutes from home! There's plenty of parking, and you can take a lovely walk along the waterfront with a stunning view of the lake. The area is full of wildlife, which makes it even more enjoyable. It's both kid-friendly and pet-friendly, making it a perfect spot for families or anyone who loves the outdoors. Highly recommend for a peaceful escape!

Rotary Frenchman's Bay West Park is a fabulous spot to enjoy long summer days. There's limited parking and you have to walk or bike the gravel portion of Beachpoint Promenade which runs along West Shore Beach. But you're rewarded on the south side with a fine sandy long beach backed by small dunes and the sheltered waters of Frenchman's Bay on the north side. Walk to the end and you'll reach the west lighthouse at the tip of the bay channel. The beach itself doesn't seem too crowded even on holiday weekends. There's some short trails, a small picnic area, viewing shelters, artwork and a washroom facility to round things out. Enjoy!

Beautiful place with a short drive within Toronto.

Washrooms on-site.

Parking is $5 per hour.

Great place to visit, chill and hike with friends and family. It's small but it feels really cozy and intimate. One person helped us out with directions and suggestions; he was the best. We will definitely come back when the weather is warmer. My kids enjoyed the beach, scenery and watching a few wind surfers performing tricks and all. A place to see and decide for yourself. There are great spots to take great pics

A nice place for a pleasant walk, but you gotta pay for parking tho.

Recently, It is very crowded in the evening. The atmosphere is fresh and beautiful. You could spend a whole day to go picnicking near the beach or in the park.
There is a sign warning the quality of water here. Be careful when go swimming or let your pets drink water.

Beautiful park with plenty of space, kids play area, kids water area, trail for walkers, beautiful but short beach area for water sports or swimming lovers. Highly recommended for all age groups, bbq, plan games, enjoy the greenery or just lay-down and relax with family and friends. Very less spots for parking near the park, but plenty of space outside the park around the road. Come with tents, games, ball games or bicycles or kites etc to enjoy more. Its just a park and dont have alot of monitored activities here, bring your stuff to get busy. Best spot for summer fun. I wonder how it looks like in winters. Just great experience always. Toilets for kids, gents and ladies available only at main entrance, near parking. Wheelchair accessible park and toilets. You can buy snakes or ice-cream in the only shop. Don’t expect alot they might not have everything available all the time. It doesnt have alot of shaded spots near kids play areas, bring tents, chairs and sheet to sit under the shaded trees.
