Tommy Thompson Park

Best place to bike and do laps in Toronto. Free parking with maintained washrooms and even a water refill station. Trail’s flat, no pets but lots of wildlife, great views esp of the Toronto skyline at sunset.

Amazing park! Strongly suggested.Tommy Thompson Park, also known as the Leslie Street Spit, is a unique and ecologically diverse park located on the shores of Lake Ontario in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The park is located on a man-made peninsula that was originally created as a dumping ground for construction waste, but has since been transformed into a thriving wildlife habitat and nature preserve.Tommy Thompson Park is a popular destination for bird watchers, with over 300 species

This is a beautiful nature park and it was my second visit. It is perfect location for bird watching/photography. There are many walking trails. Even if you are not into bird watching, this place has many spots for watching sunsets against the cityscape backdrop.It is also perfect place for cycling. I saw many cyclists doing the lighthouse loop. If you don’t own cycle, there is a Toronto public cycling stand at the entrance, in parking lot.There are not many picnic tables, as this is less of a park and more of a nature reserve but you can sit on large stones around the trails and enjoy the serenity of lake. For the same reason, it being a nature reserve, dogs are not allowed in park.Overall, it is worth visiting and I would be going back with my camera, soon.

One of the best parks in the Toronto area, this park offers a fantastic biking and walking trail with a focus on wildlife conservation. You'll have the opportunity to spot a wide variety of birds, reptiles, and fish. The park staff is incredibly knowledgeable and can provide valuable insights. It's worth noting that there are several poisonous plants in the park, so exercise caution and stick to the designated trail—avoid taking shortcuts.

Utterly magnificent views of the Harborfront, interesting rebar-littered beaches, a cool looking lighthouse and a beach filled with rocks of many colours; this park is definitely one of a kind with what it has to offer!

Went there in April. Maybe better during late Spring or early Summer. Took us an hour to walk from the entrance to the light house. I think it's great for bikers and bird watching. Bring water and be sun protected.

2023 June 4★A nice long trail with views of the city.Expect to spend at least 30 minutes here by bike and well over an hour by walking.Bike parking and car parking for about 50 at the entrance.Rental bikes also available.Washrooms available at the entrance.

This place is absolutely amazing for spending a day with family and friends. The lush greenery all around creates a beautiful atmosphere. Whether you prefer walking, biking, or sailing, there are plenty of options to enjoy. I highly recommend visiting during the spring or summer, and allocating at least a half or full day to fully appreciate all that this place has to offer.

This is my go to spot to see the sunset over the city skyline. Beautiful surrounding nature and ambience. The main path is a really nice and wide bike route.
