Marie Curtis Park East Beach — Attraction in Toronto

Marie Curtis Park and Beach is a fantastic spot for a relaxing and family-friendly day out. The beach, while not very large, offers peaceful lake views and tends to be quieter on weekdays—perfect for a calm escape. On sunny weekends, it can get a bit crowded, but there’s still plenty of space to enjoy. The beach is clean, with public washrooms and stone benches where families can sit and enjoy their packed meals. A major highlight is the attached park with splash pads and playgrounds, ideal for toddlers and children to run around and play safely.
