PETTICOAT CREEK CONSERVATION PARK REVIEWS

Great conservation park with many beautiful areas near the waterfront for a picnic. This place is great for a BBQ with family and friends if you live in Toronto as there are not a lot of options for an outdoor BBQ in the city. There is an enterance fee of $20 if you want to park your car inside. Picnic benches are available in all picnic areas and the tall trees provide good shade. Trails are good for cycling and walking near the waterfront. There is a splash pad as well but is currently closed for maintenance. Overall a great park to enjoy a family weekend in the outdoors.

I went there for a family picnic, lots of fun and a huge place for playing. You can definitely go there for a big family picnic. Near this place a lake is available. However, the scenario is excellent even if you bring your dog. The walkway is available for dogs. Overall, I enjoyed a lot of games with my family and friends. Moreover, we sat on the bench and saw the lake outline.

Best place for a family picnic in the GTA. Cost of entry is way worth it given the ample parking, shade, picnic benches, access to water, and no fighting through crowds like most other GTA public parks. We come every year... Facilities are clean, staff are friendly and garbages are changed discreetly multiple times through the day. Great for large families...

ALEX ROBERTSON PARK REVIEWS

A beautifully maintained park caters to the needs of families seeking a peaceful picnic spot, individuals yearning for a delightful hike or bike ride, and those who prefer leisurely strolls with their families or dogs on leashes. The park also offers open fields for friendly sports games. During our recent visit, we noticed some areas cordoned off due to the planting of new trees. However, one particular highlight was the "Home Place Portal," adorned with exquisite carvings on its logs. Witnessing this meaningful and breathtaking artistry was truly a memorable experience.

Has a lot of parking, wheelchair accessible and family friendly! Nice place to go for a stroll with your dog, family, kids! Along the trail are some board signs that give people a chance to learn about certain species in the area and a little history behind it as well! One trail also leads to the beach that connects to Frenchman's bay which is amazing!

Not crowded, tons of parking spots, well maintained trails and a lot of wildlife to see! There’s also a large playground and sports fields near by. Short walk to the waterfront & shops make this a favourite spot to come back to..

SEATON HIKING TRAIL REVIEWS

The dog park there is nice, and there's chairs too. The parking lot is moderately sized, but you can park on the road if it's full. The trail is pretty long, and has a great view since the trees are tall, and it's next to a stream. This trails has the right amount of ups and downs, and a few good lookout spots for you to stop. There were also a lot of dogs, which I loved! I enjoyed my hike here.

Seaton Hiking trail is great for a quick walk, or a full day hike. Bit of everything if you fancy a walk in the woods. Runs by a creek and the ruins of the old train bridges etc are interesting points where industry meets nature. It's busy enough that you don't feel alone, and dog friendly with steep valley/hills on one side and flowing water on the other. It can get a little muddy - but easy to avoid it if you're watching.

This trail gave us space to breathe during pandemic. Trail is active for river watching, bird watching, beaver, herons and lots of migratory birds.
