  • "Awesome park; great for reading a book, some thoughtful thinking, meditation or a prayer! Wana spend the time on your mobile phone social media? Go ahead! LoL Usually wife and I go to witness one of the most romantic sunset-time views in Burlington! Middays and afternoons are also nice there; with big old tall trees providing good heavy shades! Traffic on the bridge - relatively far away across in the background- adds depth to the view"

Awesome park; great for reading a book, some thoughtful thinking, meditation or a prayer! Wana spend the time on your mobile phone social media? Go ahead! LoL Usually wife and I go to witness one of the most romantic sunset-time views in Burlington! Middays and afternoons are also nice there; with big old tall trees providing good heavy shades! Traffic on the bridge - relatively far away across in the background- adds depth to the view... especially at night time! Kids like it there too. I wish if there were an ice cream or refreshments outlet on-site or nearby.. would be great on summer weekend days! Great walk-to destination for people within 15 to 30 minute walking distance... where one reaches there ... enjoy a while of tranquility and peace.. and then walk back home (like I did yesterday evening) :)

Definitely not a park, but a parkette. It's a really nice small spot by the lake. Despite its small size, there's quite a bit of green space. I brought a blanket, and found a spot in a relatively shaded area, and enjoyed lunch. There are about four benches. There are only about 14 parking spots, one is accessible. They were quite a few people, couples, and family is sitting around enjoying the green space as well. I gave it four stars not because it's the best parkette I've ever been to, but because it's a nice quaint, clean spot in Burlington. For what it's worth, and for stumbling across this place unexpectedly. I really enjoyed the time that I spent here. Oh yeah, you may have to wait for parking

This gorgeous little park is tucked in along the lakeshore. We went with our baby for a picnic over the weekend. Sadly the ground was absolutely covered in goose droppings and there were very few places to sit or be in the shade. There were also no swings at the jungle gym/play area. The landscaping and view were gorgeous, but we will be trying to find a better spot for our needs next time.

Went here with the wife years ago packed a lunch and enough water for the day, I even brought the tent in case I got lucky and she wanted to spend the night. Dont let Park fool you I have seen backyards bigger than this so called park. Not good for hiking

  • Natasha Jansen

Water was very pretty, park was cute. It was cool to see all the buildings across the water. There were like 3 benches to sit on. Most of us sat in our cars and ate dinner, then left. Lots of bugs, but to expected at this time and season.

  • Magued Hanna

A cozy small and nice park that combines the beauty of the lake and greenery. A nice place for quality time, reading, romantic escape, family outing, friends gathering. The park only have few benches around 3~4 benches

  • Tim Huddleston

I was a bit disappointed with this park, it's a wee bit rundown and would benefit from a good tidy up. It has parking for 6-8 cars and a small playground and a couple of benches. Would be better if it was looked after.

  • Sajid Ahmad Khan

Nice place to spend some time with a coffee ☕ and hot or snacks. Good for spending an hour. Parking lot is small and generally not crowded. No play ground for kids, so bringing kids may disappoint you. …

  • P H

This is a great little peaceful, treed park with free parking. There are benches where you can sit and look out over the lake. There’s also a small play area for the kids to enjoy. One of my favourite spots.

  • Liliana Popp

People smoke...arghhhh!! There should be a sign "no smoking" from the city: It's such a small park! (no place to run away from the fumes but back to the car). Pity. Is a beautiful little spot otherwise.

  • Ravi Venkatesh

Small park on the lake. There is a little path at the right end where you can go down to the water, rest of the lakefront is fenced from the water. A few seats to sit and watch the lake. Quiet place.

  • N Letourneau

Very quiet quaint little park. Great views of the lake. No more play area for kids and only 1 bench to sit on. They have put a new fence along the shoreline so views are very good.

  • Rick Bannerman

Quiet little park. Very easy to get to and usually has parking spots available. It has a very small playground that is suitable for little kids. Also has a nice view of the lake.

  • Katharine Fitzgerald

We just happened upon this park. There's really not much here: three park benches and a small view of the lake. I saw something online that they might be expanding the park?....

  • Nicola

Cute little park by the Lake Ontario. There are several benches looking out towards the lake. There's also a little play structure with a sand base and ample parking.

  • Graham Hall

If no one is around it's a great place to sit and ponder. Only a small park about the size of the neighborhood house lots but gives a nice view of the lake

  • Omer Tamer

Nice little park by the lake. Beautiful view of the Hamilton harbour and the sky bridge in the distance. Be sure to take your masquito spray with you.

  • Trieu Nguyen

Very small, nothinguch here, view is not great unless you want to see industrial Hamilton. Ok if you just want a place to sit and eat or read a book.

  • Laurie Brooks

Quaint little park at the end of Guelph Line. Enjoyed a private, social distancing, tailgate breakfast celebration one beautiful Saturday morning!

  • Don Shaw

Very nice mini-park by the lake. The retaining fence is in disrepair and has been for awhile. This is a potential hazard for young kids!

  • Katherine Bennett

Not much of a park, more of a parking lot with a small lookout area at a high elevation to the water. No water access, or walking path.

  • Heran Genene (UrDaughter)

They just laid grass. Beautiful peaceful park with that one memorial bench. Seems like they added fencing and a white cement wall way

  • Michael Giorgi

It's a small little park so it's nice and quiet, relatively. Unfortunately right now (September 2020) there's no play structure here.

  • Monique Berry

Wonderful parkette! Parking lot holds about ten cars. Lots of garbage cans. Beat the heat and find shade under the willow tree ;)

  • Mustafa Alam

Very nice place. Lots of space and better vision of the lake. This is probably the best lakeshore to go to. Absolutely love it!

  • L. L.

Great view and place for reflection. The satellite view shows a play structure - there's nothing there except some benches now.

  • Owen Scicluna

Small park but has a killer view and an OK playground for kids with some benches and parking, this pretty much sums it up.

  • Aly Church

Nice to look out on the crashing waves with the dog and a hot drink in the winter. Popular for dogs, pull over spot.

  • Chrystal Henry

Calm and serene area to ponder thoughts or to play and interact with children. Not much it a path to benches though.

  • Robert Saylor

Great place to stop and rest when your riding on your motorcycle. The only downside is I didn't see any restrooms.
