The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Etobicoke, Canada

July 13, 2021 Alida England

We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

Etobicoke Valley Park

Reviewed By 568murrayb - Montreal, Canada

Spent 1 1/2 hours walking from the top end of this park to Lake Ontario (south of QEW). Very pleasant walk, still colours in the trees and a nice stream along side. You wouldn’t realize you were in the city. Easy parking at a number of small parking lots on the upper starting points off Bissett Ave. Other parks are linked up the way to the lake. Didn’t walk the upper creek but think it’s also available.

Humber Bay Park

Reviewed By peterd210 - Toronto, Canada

I've come down to this park many times over the years, whether it be winter or summer. I usually pack by bike on the SUV and bike around this park - it's big. The shoreline is incredible with great views over Toronto, The Humber Bay Arch bridge and over nice ponds in the park. Lots of space for walking and having a nice picnic.

James Gardens

Reviewed By KodoDrummer - Yekaterinburg, Russia

During the summer months, and especially on weekends and holidays, James Gardens is crowded with people picnicking, wedding parties and photography, and people going for relaxing walks on the paths through the forest. For walkers, beware of the bikers who come up from behind and don’t make any warning sounds.

Marie Curtis Park

Reviewed By peterd210 - Toronto, Canada

Marie Curtis Park Beach is located on the east bank of the Etobicoke Creek. It was a lovely unexpected find. Marie Curtis Park Beach is exactly what a local park and beach should be - fun for walking, hiking, biking, relaxing on the beach, fishing and great photo opps as well. From Toronto it can be reached by the Queen streetcar line. You can explore some nature trails and wooded paths with lovely bridges that cross it. It is a everyday place for the people who live nearby, it's relaxing just to sit there and watch the world go by. That is what makes Marie Curtis Park Beach so special.
