Quiet most of the time but can get busy when daycare rolls through. Splash pad, sand box and a good play structure for the kids as well as a tennis court. In the winter they usually create a temporary rink in the field near the tennis court. Has washroom facilities. Due to the proximity of the dog park off leash dogs can sometimes be an issue.

Beautiful park with lots of dogs and benches, great to walk around with plenty of shade and friendly squirrels. Only downside is some dog owners who don’t clean up after their pets, so watch your step

One of the best parks in a great neighborhood. Washrooms are summer-only. Wading pool in the summer, ice rink in the winter, tennis all year round. Huge thank you to the neighbours for maintaining the park so well! Also I think there is supposed to be new playground equipment in summer 2021 so that's exciting.

It is a great park & I love the area with the water supply/hoses to rinse off my feet/clean up the dogs afterwards/fill their bowls with water for much-needed hydration. However, sand gets everywhere & this is exactly where this park loses one star (in my opinion). This dog enclosure is basically one fat gigantic sandbox. I am concerned that if the dogs are even a little bit hyper, they will get sand in each other's eyes. I found sand in my bra & I don't normally exercise with the dogs very much.

This is a lovely park in a very lovely upper beaches neighbourhood. I live a two minute walk away and visit nightly. My partner and I go for our nightly walk to this park. It’s gorgeously maintained and has so many amenities. The only concern is the tennis courts fill quickly and you have to wait quite a while to get into play. I come here often to do work - I work from home most days and the large tree growth make it so well shaded and just a nice place to work, relax and play. There is a great off leash park here that boasts a bevy of dogs. The playground is huge and there is a splash pool for the kids. This is a great park and I feel fortunate that my home is so close to it.
