Loafer's Lake Park — Attraction in Brampton

Great Park!

I love coming here. Parking is easy with the Loafer's Lake Rec center close by if you need to rush back to use a washroom, get water or just cool down.

Walking down and around the small lake is pleasant, and you can take the Etobicoke Creek Trail towards Sandalwood Pkwy and it continues to Bovaird Dr. and beyond, or you can go the other direction to the park itself.

There's also a few small lakes and streams occupying this pristine area. Along the paths, you will encounter all manner of happy, friendly, species and...

Love this park, great location too. My kids are 3 and 4 and this is easily their favourite park in the area. It’s big enough that it doesn’t get crowded often but there’s also the trail that runs around the park, huge fields and the trail around the lake for a nice stroll too. Only problem I have is there’s no way to take my kids to the bathroom when they’re playing and “really have to go”. I’ve witnessed a few “accidents” and my kids have definitely had an accident while trying to rush away from the park too. a porta potty or two for the kids at the park might not...
