Thomson Memorial Park — Attraction in Toronto

I love this park. It's truly amazing. I love going out for a bike ride, but mainly in trails where I get to enjoy nature, and the river sounds. The trail is here is amazing, since you don't want to have a trail that's skinny, and you'd have to go on the grass to pass by pedetrains, no. This park is great. I love biking through this park, since you get to see the birds, the river, the ducks, and the fresh air of the trees! I just love going through nature. My favorite part is going through the forest, there's a small path throughout the forest here.

This place is also great if you would like to do a BBQ here, as there is so much space and land for you to choose from. It's also really nice to admire the view, the forest, and the sky from. It's great to brings your kids here as well, because I'm telling ya, there is so much space here at this park, for bicyclist, parties, hikers, etc.

Continuing on, there's also a museum that's located in this park, for your kids to explore. I do believe though you have to pay a small fee, but hey, for me, it was quite an experience learning about the old and pioneer times.

Sometimes, there's also an ice-cream truck, that goes here, usually in the afternoon! Trust me, ice-cream from an ice-cream truck is just so amazing, it's fresh, and easy to bite into. Kids love ice-cream, and so do I.

There's also a dog park here, if you would like to take your dog out, this is also a place to go. As I've said before, there is just so much space here, so your dog can run around, not having to be confined in such a small fenced area. Though, there are sections that are fenced for certain particular dogs, as I was biking thorough. Some are for the active dogs, some are for the calm dogs, etc.

This park is also highly maintained. I believe that the workers here that help to maintain this park do really a good job, I don't see much garbage being littered around here (I would expect it, since the amount of parties and people gathering here, but none). The workers here really strive to do their job to the best limit as they can, so well done for them.

My favorite event that happens at this park is the rib feast! Man, those ribs really taste like Heaven. There's also a good amount of security and police when the rib feast does happen here, to ensure everyone is safe, as I believe the rib feast goes throughout all night, not sure though. There's also rides, and games that you can play, only during the rib feast though. r than the events, this park is calm, clean, and fun to hike, walk, or cycle around. I sure do enjoy this park. Would I recommend going here? Yes. Even if it's for parties, BBQ, enjoying nature, wanting to do a little bit of exercise,...

This park is a hidden gem with its scenic beauty and diverse offerings. One of its highlights is the fantastic 20 km bike trail, perfect for cycling enthusiasts who enjoy long rides surrounded by nature. Additionally, the park boasts a spacious dog park where our furry friends can run and play freely. Tennis enthusiasts can also take advantage of the well-maintained tennis courts available. For those who prefer a leisurely stroll, the park offers beautiful walking paths that provide a peaceful and relaxing experience. There are also ample picnic tables for visitors to enjoy outdoor meals amidst the serene surroundings.However, it's worth noting that obtaining permission is required for using the picnic tables. Families with children will appreciate the well-designed and engaging children's play area, which offers plenty of fun activities for kids. The park's location is also convenient, making it easily accessible for visitors. It's important to mention that while the park has MTB bike trails, it lacks winter maintenance, so they may not be suitable for use during the colder months. Safety is a priority here, as the park provides a strong security presence and surveillance, ensuring a secure environment for all visitors.Overall, this park offers a wide range of amenities and a picturesque setting, making it a great place to spend quality...

Great park but its quality has deteriorated over time. I still really enjoy biking through this park in the summer months as it offers a long bike path/trail which is easily accessible from different main roads. The park itself is decently sized and contains a soccer field, baseball diamond, picnic areas, BBQs, a museum, a dog park and more. However, the park has become overcrowded, loud and people don't seem to care about the well being of the park itself or other visitors. Often times you'll find litter on the ground even though there are tons of garbage bins spread out throughout the park. In the summer, you'd be very lucky to find a picnic table/BBQ since the park gets extremely busy. Additionally, people don't seem to respect the bike path/walking paths. They end up standing in the middle of them to socialize, spread out across both lanes as they walk and don't seem to want to move out of your way. The visitors of this park have become more ignorant and it can be frustrating at times. However, one good thing is that it is the home of Scarborough's Rib Fest and this has been the case for many years. It becomes a huge attraction during this time which is nice to see for Scarborough locals, however, as mentioned it gets very busy and with people who don't seem to mind your personal space. Decent park but could be better if the patrons...
