When your big brother is a sprawling beach park that hugs the shores of Lake Ontario, it’s hard to get noticed for your own highlights.
Woodbine Park (no, not Woodbine Beach Park) is a noteworthy relation to the great parks in our city.
It’s an enclave inside The Beaches community that offers much for families, explorers, cyclists and dog walkers.
Networks of trails lead to a curving boardwalk alongside a pond with an enchanting fountain.
Exploring with the kids? Take the back trail behind the pond for a boardwalk adventure through the marshlands, with tall grasses brushing your faces as you cut through its ‘jungle’.
At the park, kids test their physical abilities with the rock climbing wall while Moms and Dads relax on nearby benches.
Complete with washrooms, drinking fountains for dogs and humans, this park is a fun find on Lakeshore Blvd. East, just north of the Woodbine Beach Park.
