Wellington Park

Unusually large and developed play structure with the beautiful backdrop of Lake Ontario and sections for both little and big kids. The ground is wood chips, and the material is wood and synthetics. Tunnels, a fort, multiple slides, split levels, stairs, swings and everything.

Good quiet place to sit and watch the lake.

Beautiful waterfront park and play area.Swings, jungle gym with slides...Picnic tablesBBQ/grills (bring your own briquets)Public washrooms

Nice park right on the lake! Very windy the day we were there! There was also a market right beside the park!

Great little park. Washrooms, some benches and picnic tables available. Great view of Lake Ontario..

Great views of Lake Ontario. Quite a lot of picnic benches with well maintained restrooms. Good spot for some good pictures. Coolest spot when the weather is hot. You'll understand this once you get there.

So serene. Lot of space for picnic and beach. Water is ultra clean. Park on the street.

Today was our big bike trip on the Millennium Trail in Prince Edward County. We looked for hours online to find out where we could go to a free beach for a swim. No luck.Today we drove over 2 hours to get down there. We parked in Bloomfield at the tennis courts. There were picnic tables there and washrooms but the washrooms were locked!!We biked the trail to Wellington in the heat. Thank goodness for the breeze! I just happened to bump into an old friend on the trail. He was just finishing his bike trip to Picton and back and told me he was heading to the lake for a swim. He knew of a free beach!!It was Wellington Park right beside the United Church and across the road from St. Andrews Anglican Church. It was a very busy town but we found it easily.There are public washrooms!We walked down to the water. There was a steep set of stairs down the breaker wall. There was a fairly wide ledge at the water's edge, large enough to put a lawn chair out and still walk by.There is no beach sand. It is all made up of rock ledges or a mixture of small, medium and large rocks. You can pick your way out into the lake but be careful... some of the rock ledges are extremely slippery.We didn't go out too deeply since it was windy and wavy. I just sat on one of the ledges and let the waves wash over me. It was so refreshing, especially after a brisk 20km bike ride in the 30 degree heat. The water was just cool enough and extremely clean!I will have no issue with doing this again.This was the refreshing haven that we were looking for but was not to be found anywhere online!! We were so thankful!NOTE: There is a donation box at the entrance of the park. USE IT!

Fun for kids with a beautiful view. Has a covered area as well.
