Colonel Samuel Smith Park

Escape the downtown rush at Colonel Samuel Smith Park, one of Etobicoke's most beloved lakeside green spaces with a history as layered as the city itself. Named after a Loyalist settler granted land here in the late 1700s, the park today offers waterfront trails, quiet coves, and sweeping views of Lake Ontario — perfect for an unhurried after-work wander. It's the kind of place that makes you feel like you've left Toronto entirely, without actually leaving. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
