Our honest take

One shelter, a washroom, playground and wading pool fit a smaller family group.

Natural trails get muddy, parking is limited and the off-leash area may bother guests who fear dogs.

Plan the visit

Transit: Use Lawrence Station, then walk or take a surface route east toward Mount Pleasant Road.

Access: The park sits in a valley. Confirm a step-free path because stairs, slopes, mud and ravine trails can block an otherwise short route.

Hours and timing: The current City record lists one shelter, two picnic sites and one washroom. Confirm which site has the roof.
