Accessibility
The park features wheelchair-accessible trails and public washrooms. The recently added pickleball facility includes two dedicated wheelchair-accessible courts. Accessible parking spaces are available in the on-site parking lots.
Parking
On-site parking is available in a lot at the north end of the park. Additional Green P parking lots are located along Queen Street East and Eastern Avenue. Note that parking is extremely limited and high-demand during festivals; transit is strongly recommended for major events.
Transit
Accessible via the 501 Queen Streetcar or 503 Kingston Rd Streetcar. Alternatively, take the #92 Woodbine South bus from Woodbine Subway Station (Line 2) directly to the park loop.
Seasonal Note
The splash pad typically operates daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM from mid-May to mid-September. The park is a popular winter destination for scenic walks and wildlife viewing, and serves as the site for seasonal events like the New Year's Polar Bear Dip.
