Humber Bay Park is a beautiful recreational area consisting of three smaller contiguous parks located on the shore of Lake Ontario southwest of downtown Toronto. East Humber Bay Park and West Humber Bay Park are on two spits of land straddling the outflow of Mimico Creek. Humber Bay Shores Park stretches farther west along the shore of Lake Ontario toward downtown Toronto. The overall park spans about 2 kilometres of the lakeshore, but its actual waterfront and trail network is far longer.

Humber Bay Park Trails and Bridges

With numerous walking and cycling paths in the park, including the main Humber Bay Park West and Humber Bay Park East Trail, the park is popular with locals who like to enjoy the great outdoors.

Sections of the trail are joined by two bridges where they cross the water. One is a small bridge of unique design spanning Mimico Creek and joining East and West Humber Bay Park. The second bridge is the locally renowned Humber Bay Arch Bridge, which crosses the outflow of the Humber River connecting Humber Bay Park East Trail with Martin Goodman Trail. This striking bridge is 430 feet long and 70 feet tall. It is located at the eastern end of Humber Bay Shores Park.

The Martin Goodman Trail, in turn, connects with the Waterfront Trail that runs along the harbourfront of downtown Toronto and is eventually going to extend along the entire north shore of Lake Ontario.

As you can see, there’s no limit on how far one can walk or cycle, as you can continue beyond the park in either direction for many kilometres.

Park History

Over 5 million cubic metres of lake fill were used to create the park, which opened in the summer of 1984. Ongoing projects include restoring natural habitat by planting shrubs and trees, establishing meadows filled with lovely wildflowers and creating butterfly habitat, wetlands, and fish habitat.

Park Amenities

Amenities include the walking and cycling trails, picnic areas, a playground and beachfront. There’s a swimming pool, a ball diamond, tennis and basketball courts and, in the winter, an ice rink. There’s also a pond for fly casting and a wheelchair accessible fishing pier. The west park features a historic lighthouse. In addition to the above, Humber Bay Park provides spectacular views toward Downtown Toronto making this an outstanding area to visit on a nice day.

Humber Bay Park East Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating Beautiful place to spend some time with great views of the lake along with CN Tower. if you're lucky, you'll find a beautiful swan swimming in the lake.

4 Star Rating Humber Bay Park is soon to reopen to the public, offering stunning views and a convenient location. The scenery from here is undeniably beautiful, making it a great spot for relaxation. However, I was a bit puzzled by the choice of large gravels for the beach instead of sand, which would have been more welcoming. Despite this, the location is fantastic, easily accessible to locals with plenty of parking available. Overall, a great place to visit, but could benefit from some improvements to the beach area.

5 Star Rating First of all, it is very good that there is no parking problem. Apart from that, I recommend that you bring a chair etc. because there is not much seating. The view is perfect. I used all my luck by coming at a time when it was not very crowded 😂

How to get to Humber Bay Park East by TTC Subway

Make your way to Osgoode Station on the Yonge-University-Spadina Line and take the #501 Long Branch streetcar from just east of the station to Lake Shore Boulevard at Legion and walk south into the Park.

Walking from Downtown Toronto to Humber Bay Park along the Waterfront Trail is also doable if you enjoy longer walks. It takes about 2 hours one way for the 10 kilometre walk. Consider it a walking tour and enjoy the fabulous scenery along the way. Walking one direction and taking public transit back is a great option.
