Grass Creek Park — Attraction in Ontario

Grass Creek is a great spot for dog lovers and families. There us a huge (multiple acres) open area dog park that is great for any furry friends. One detriment to the dog park is it lacks any real wooded area and there isn't much shade. That said therearea few spots that trees provide some cover for hot days. There is also multiple areas away from the pedestrian beach that lend themselves well to letting the dogs get into the water (though this is technically not allowed, we've never seen anyone have a problem). The beach is nice and big and I have never seen it over crowded. The water is shallow out for quite a ways which is great for kids too. Speaking of kids, there are some fun play steuctures and great shaded areas with picnic benches for those with families. Currently the changeroom/bathroom is being reconstruct3d and I'm sure it will be great once done (prior to the rebuild they were showing their age). All and all Grass Creek is a great family spot and the best dog park anywhere we've been in...

Went there during this past Summer (Y-2013) on a few separate occasions since returning to Kingston and had a swim or two at this sand bottom beach area which is located on the St. Lawrence River. It was nice to see so many persons enjoying this Park Area's offer and it was still not overcrowded.

A long time since a visit was made to this Park and as a Child I can remember taking a Bus there and back to attend Day Camp...

Beautiful park grounds, small sandy beach and a relaxing day in the sun is only minutes from downtown Kingston. Grass Creek Park has everything you need for an escape from the city; there is a play park for the children, picnic tables, park benches and plenty of mature trees for shade. Parking is close to the beach area and there are washrooms on site. We were travelling during the week so it wasn’t very full but I’m sure warm weekends the actual beach area gets pretty busy. There is loads of grassy land to set up a lawn chair and enjoy the warm weather. The grounds were very clean and well groomed. The washrooms were well stocked with soap and paper but given it’s outside there are few insects - spiders which is to be expected. Get out there and enjoy a...
