Nice little area across the street from CN Tower and Rogers Center. Has several rail cars and a little history about them along with loading coal and various items into them. A few places to sit down and a little museum there too.

This was a really interesting museum. If you are interested in locomotives and history, it's pretty amazing to think of what this was once used for. Also pretty cool to see the old rail cars and newer ones too. Have to say I appreciated the little gift shop too - prices that were not outrageous. Finally the little train ride was a good attraction too, not costly and seemed to interest kids and adults alike.

I’ve lived across the street from this park for over 10 years and it’s a great park. Lots of green space, picnic tables, a little park for kiddos, a brewery, and a couple restaurant options - and a train museum! They run a little train during the summer you can ride around - best way to see the whole park. Steam Whistle has an annual summer and winter beer festival that’s great. I have so many pics to share through my many years so I’ll try to keep it at a minimum:) - It’s my favorite park in the whole city :)

Excellent place for kids . I've been here twice, and both times have been amazing. Very friendly staff, efficient service. Nearby food truck Food was great. Also a fun stop for grabbing a beer. Their tour is interesting. If you go, pull the whistle cord! Fun place to enjoy with family

I really enjoyed visiting this open-air park and learning more about the fascinating history of rail in Canada. There are lots of interesting things to see. You also have sprawling views of the city skyline from here. This is a great place to come to explore, enjoy the slow pace, and marvel at the beauty of the city!
