Our honest take
Three shelters, three picnic sites, four playgrounds, a splash pad, washroom and two parking lots cover most family needs.
It is far from central Toronto and guests can enter on the wrong side of the park.
Plan the visit
Transit: Surface buses serve Steeles Avenue East and McCowan Road. The trip is long from downtown, so send the correct entrance and shelter pin.
Access: Ask which shelter has the shortest step-free path from accessible parking and the open washroom. The park is large.
Hours and timing: The City record lists three shelters. Ask for the current site letter or number because older booking labels may differ.
