LAKE ONTARIO PARK REVIEWS

We chose a windy day to hike on Lake Ontario. I had the most beautiful view and they also have couple of spots to park your car and enjoy the view. They have benches and clean lawn to enjoy a family picnic or a painting date with your friends or partner. You can have a barbecue or play badminton and enjoy your time. I would love to visit it again.

Awesome park! We came on a Friday morning and it was pretty empty. Lots of bugs and flies though!! Hard to walk through them but by the water there is less and it’s so peaceful. :) washrooms also were great and included showers and a huge sink.

Very beautiful beach on the Canada side looking to the right over to Niagara on the lake USA and to the left towards Toronto Canada.

GRASS CREEK PARK REVIEWS

We went to this park for the first time because of the solar eclipse. We arrived shortly before noon and the parking lots were full. The park rangers/volunteers/organizers were very helpful, friendly and cheerfully directing us to a newly added designated parking area. By 2 pm when the eclipse began, I heard the park was closed in order to avoid overcrowding. Hence that was roomy in the park. To my surprise, there were plenty of food trucks and washroom facilities and no long line ups as other places had forewarned. To me it is well organized and managed. As for the park, it is a beautiful park by riverside that has birds, plenty of facilities as mentioned on the website. I love this park and will go again.

One of the biggest and best dog parks I've ever been to. What a gem! It's also got a realkt nice beach, water access and swiming, kayaking, paddle opportunities. Perfect weekend - picnic gateway or simply a quick swim option.

Great little beach, lots of shade to escape the heat. Very family friendly, ample parking. Kids love the park at the beach. Always a good day spent here.

SKELETON PARK REVIEWS

We visited during an art festival, so there were extra amenities including outhouses with hand-washing stations and a recycling trailer etc... But even without the perks, the park itself has a number of benches, a splash pad, a mixed-age playpark including a geodesic net/rope climbing structure. There are some large trees to provide shade and grassed areas for ample play or picnic room. Playground Playground includes a sand box where local residents have donated some shovels and toys "for the children of Skeleton Park.

Great park to take your kids. There are lots of different playground equipment to play on. A splash pad. And even a historic cannon to take your picture with. Lots of trees to sit at a picnic table under and walking path.

Wonderful, large family park with mostly shade due to huge, old shade trees. Hosts numerous events, exhibits & gatherings. Nice play structure for children as well. One of the nicest parks downtown in Kingston in general.
