- Alina ZDublin, Ireland49 contributionsVisited on the weekend with my 3 years old. Probably fabulous during the summer but not so much during the winter. the Canadian section was closed as temps were low .Written 17 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- sherryeldridgeKansas City, MO42 contributionsVery clear water, you can see to the bottom. The bluffs are pretty. Restroom was hideous. I recommend changing your clothing elsewhere. All toilets were stopped up and there was an inch of waste water on the floor from the overflowed toilets. No place to set your clothes or bag while changing clothing. The actual change rooms were locked and could not be used.Written 15 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- betty lBrampton, Canada10,532 contributionsWe spent a weekend at my sisters place in Scarborough and before we left for home she invited us to see Guild Park in Scarborough, a favourite spot for photographers taking wedding, prenuptial, debut and graduation photos.
This is one place to visit if you want to take photos with good background. However make sure you are early to escape others who are there also to take photographsWritten 30 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lisa AToronto, Canada13 contributionsThe staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. If you love history this museum let you go back in time and see what family life was like.
There is also next to the museum a great park for the kids and family to spend the day.Written 12 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But you cannot take private photos or selfies with your cellphone. There is a sign at the entrance which highlights the rules of the park and It does state photography must follow “City of Toronto Photography Rules”. Now, Kidstown is owned by the City of Toronto and maintained by the Parks, Forestry & Recreation division. It is a public outdoor space as defined by the City.
Legally, you need a permit for commercial or professional photography. But legally, you have a right to take personal photographs of anyone - including other people’s children (just not in changeroom and washrooms where people have a reasonable expectation to privacy). However, the City of Toronto have a policy that states you must obtain permission from staff and you cannot take photos of other patrons - this is due to concerns of patron’s privacy, such as having photos of their kids on social media. While it is 100% legal to take private photos of whomever you want, the City’s policy prevents this at their facilities. So it is really a matter of policy and therefore is a rule that must be followed, even if it cannot be legally enforced. The staff is aiming for the enjoyment of its patrons and this policy is understandable - although may not be agreeable by all. Clearly this policy is only practiced in places where there are predominantly children. I do not see this policy enforced at other venues such as the City Hall skating rink in the winter.
Parents who take their cellphone out here to take a picture are advised pictures are not allowed. Personally I think there shouldn’t be any city policy that cannot be legally enforced but I can also understand some parents can be protective - perhaps my thinking is ingrained from growing up in the eighties where such policies were not in place but given we live now in a society where internet and social media can be problematic and predatory, I can abide by the rules.
Clearly this a popular family destination especially since it is free. Staff puts on coloured wristbands for your children at the entrance so staff knows whether your children requires a parent (or adult) within arms reach or can be left unattended - for example, staff will ask young kids to leave the pool area if a parent is not within arms reach or will not allow a child go down the mini water slide if the parent is not at the bottom waiting for them.
There are limited tables within the premises (not sure if they can be reserved as I saw a birthday party there) but there are plenty of open space to setup your own spot on the grass, surrounding the water park. It gets quite busy and many people also opt to setup camp on the outside of the fenced perimeter but that becomes a bit of pain as you will always need to go through the entrance and there can be a bit of a line up as staff is putting on wristbands for other children.Written 5 August 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There’s lots of picnic tables and barbecues. There’s a children’s playground with swings, slides and an interesting climbing structure. Also a splash pad and there’s changing / bathrooms. There’s a cement ping pong table. You can also rent bikes which is at the entrance of the park beside one of the parking lots. This park opens at 8:00am. There’s walking path where you can also ride your bike. We went in April and the park was clean, no garbage around. I enjoy the ravine you see as you walk along the path.Written 15 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- shannoncT8660RI8 contributionsThe splash pad is a fun way to cool down on a hot summer day! There are picnic benches and shaded areas for parents to relax.Written 9 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PUMBRIDGELondon, UK2,000 contributionsThe pal we were visiting in Toronto suggested that - after touring a pleasant local park and being entertained by the birdsong - we might like to visit the local water treatment works.
'We've only got three days,' we said. 'Sorry, but it just doesn't appeal. Isn't there somewhere else... an art gallery, perhaps?'
He persisted. He practically begged. Not wanting to offend him, we relented, and he drove us to the RC Harris water treatment plant.
Well, thank goodness he was so insistent.
It's beautiful. Magnificent old brick-built temples to industrial innovation, stylish and elegant architecture, birdlife everywhere (with endless nesting options beneath the needlessly ornate fripperies on the buildings' facades), mighty views, fresh air and living history.Written 26 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

There are many kilometres of well-kept trails and plenty of room for social and physical distancing. If you have young children this is a safe area for them to explore without being too dangerous. As always keep an eye on the kids when you're near the water, but at the same time let them run free. You can bike, hike, walk, skateboard, scooter and pack a picnic and find a cool place to chill. This is an all-ages park with many areas where you find can privacy or spend time with a larger group. On this day, a hot warm summer day, the closer you were to the water you could experience a nice cool, constant breeze coming off the lake, and it was very refreshing. This is a park you could spend the whole day enjoying.Written 29 November 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cruise281Toronto, Canada538 contributionsWhen you enter the park drive to the very last parking lot to enter the trail that follows the creek to Lake Ontario. The trail is mostly flat and paved. There are a couple of dirt and gravel sections but these areas are still easy to navigate. There are several places along the trail with benches or rocks to rest and admire nature. Facilities are located at the parking lot.Written 15 October 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Kritika Ratta30 contributionsThe beach is small but beautiful. One has to walk too much to get to the beach and there is a park nearby. It needs some cleaning definitely.Written 12 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
