Sightseeing
This is the best park in the city! Beautiful quiet nature year round. There is a delicious affordable hot breakfast at the Grenadier Cafe, and wonderful trails, gardens, and vistas. Perfect for walking, running, cycling, or workouts. There are skating rinks in the winter, a cherry blossom festival in spring, and even a small zoo! Go say hello to the peacocks, ostriches, and yaks!

The beachfront is great for sunbathing and reading. There are seasonal water fountains, public restrooms, concession stands, and swimming. You can stroll along the boardwalk, and access the Martin Goodman Trail, 22 km of waterfront trail for walking, running, cycling, etc. Rent a bicycle at a nearby stand and explore the waterfront!

Great trails, butterfly gardens, and quiet beaches since not many people know about this gem! There are absolutely fantastic views of the city skyline from several locations around the peninsula.
On summer weekend mornings, there is also a great local farmer's market that sets up in the parking lot!

Beautiful historic fairgrounds which hosts the largest annual fair in Canada. It has been running since 1879! Shows, exhibitors, events, food (everyone waits to see what weird thing will be invented this year), rides, and concessions. Sure to be a blast! Wear sunscreen!

The best views in the city, but the restaurant is overrated. There is an annual climb of the 1776 steps for charity, usually in April. They also have elevators!
