Tyndale Park

Great renovated park, nice playground, yet bad experience:We came to visit on July 1st and were the first two cars to show up.1. The parking meter did not work, was dark and was not responding to anything, bylaw phone number on it was advising that it is a holiday, so we went to the beach and had some fun with the kids. We both got parking violation tickets 100$ each. We did send a dispute and I got a voicemail on Saturday that my case was investigated and the meter was found working. Whatever.2. There were some grilles installed but locked with chains so we took our own small grille and right after getting some meat on it were told that we cannot use our own grille (??) on a dedicated grille area (??) and we will be ticketed… great! The area is there… but no - do not use it! Or you will be fined! Why would you want to use a grille in the grille area at a park on a holiday??! Whatever.Great job City Of Barrie. Whoever is responsible for managing this asset - you guys are terrible at it. I will definitely look for alternatives.

Amazing park. Can't wait to visit again.

Very nice area with the children playground, bbq area and beach, volleyball playground. $10 parking fee for visitors, the only drawback is the parking lot is quite small, so you have to make sure arrive early to get your spot.

Love it! Good for kids , playground , BBQ stations, nice beach, washrooms, picnic areas.

Nice park. The park might be a little mature for smaller children. The slides are steep and metal and not suited for a child 2 years or younger possibly.

Beautiful park with beach and kids park both around and wonderful walking space as well. Our whole family enjoyed the place and my kid especially enjoyed the small zip line

Great little beach area that most people forget is actually there. Nice lookouts. Decent sized beach. Ample parking.

Great small park to do bbq or picnic with the whole family. Has a nice small beach and a playground. Perfect for kids. My only advice is to come before 12 as the park gets full pretty fast after that, so its hard to find parking and a picnic table.

Nice, cozy park. Little sandy beach, nice playground with lots of fun for kids. Small parking lot $10 per hour if you don't have a permit. Parking on the street is prohibit till September 15. So, now you can park on the close street for free.There are public washrooms. I found them clean. Tent is big, many bbq. Only issue that all tables with benches are linked to posts with chains, so you cannot set two tables together for a big company.

The weekends are quite busy but the true beauty of this park shows itself in the mornings or weekdays. Very calm and scenic.The one draw back is the parking - you're better off not paying and risk getting a 30 dollar ticket than paying 10$ per hour.
