Our honest take

The route is flatter and calmer than Toronto's busiest central harbour spaces.

There is little indoor shelter, lake wind can be strong and washroom hours are not all-night.

Plan the visit

Transit: Use the 504 King or 509 Harbourfront route with a surface connection, or arrange a drop-off near Dockside Drive.

Access: Waterfront Toronto describes a no-step design, flush crossings, a wheelchair-height drinking fountain and an accessible pavilion washroom.

Hours and timing: Park access is broad, but pavilion washroom hours and waterfront construction can change. Check before a long visit.
