Heron Park

It's was alright I still go every Monday and Wednesday with friends for basketball staff kinda rude but it's fun

The park is a serene oasis nestled in the heart of the city, offering a peaceful retreat from the urban hustle and bustle. With its lush greenery, well-maintained walking paths, and picturesque landscapes, it's a perfect destination for nature enthusiasts and families alike.

The park's thoughtful design includes a variety of amenities, from playgrounds and picnic areas to scenic viewpoints that provide breathtaking vistas of the surrounding area. Whether you're looking for a place to relax with a good book, enjoy a leisurely stroll, or engage in outdoor activities, this park has something for everyone.

One of the highlights is the beautifully landscaped gardens that showcase a vibrant display of seasonal flowers and plants. These gardens not only add to the park's charm but also provide a habitat for local wildlife, creating a harmonious environment that feels connected to nature.

During my visit, I noticed the park's commitment to sustainability, with recycling bins conveniently placed throughout the area and an emphasis on preserving the natural habitat. The presence of well-maintained restroom facilities and water fountains further enhances the visitor experience.

However, it's worth noting that on weekends, the park can get quite busy, which might limit the overall tranquility. Additionally, while the park staff does an excellent job of keeping the grounds clean, some areas could benefit from more frequent maintenance.

In conclusion, this park offers a wonderful escape from the urban landscape, providing a perfect balance of relaxation, recreation, and natural beauty. Whether you're seeking solitude or quality time with loved ones, the park's inviting atmosphere makes it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to reconnect with nature in the heart of the city.

The pool is awesome. Very family friendly. Few tables and chairs to sit round for some lunch or a snack. Pool has a slide and is heated.

Such a good place to go. We come here to play volleyball every Sunday with my family and friends and we are enjoying it a lot. All the staff are very nice. Thank you so much.

The voting process was smooth and easy, and from what I saw the rest of the facility was clean, bright and well laid out

Probably one of the best facilities out there and great news the desks at the front are removed and no qr code required

Smaller rinks but a nice community centre with ball courts and an actual operating snack bar lots of parking

Really great pool and skating rink and activities plus a great splash pad and park and a really great baseball dimond and a really great tennis court plus a really great indoor gym

The great facility that has a bit of everything in regards to the pool it has a wading pool and an accessible ramp for people with disabilities awesome place to have summer fun

Really loved it. Includes many different activities including summer swimming pool, basketball court, ice skating rinks and a beautiful baseball court outside. Though some of the staff is not hospitable, but many different things to do.

Very nice community center in the area. Staffs very friendly. Unfortunately it is so hard to get into program though

Great community facility. 2 ice pads with drop in programs or sign up programs.amazing little toddler room with great staff.the floor is heated in the toddler room for winter.awesome place for recreation.large ball room and large gym.good youth centre.lots of parking.definitely come by this great community centre

So happy the rink is back up and running but why are the heaters never working for Saturday morning hockey?

It's very clean and I love taking my daughter here to skate and have free play in the preschool room.

Great place for family to have fun during 7 days. Has Ping pong/ volleyball/ Ice hockey and other indoor activities. You may have to register. Ample parking space in the compound and in the library that is on Lawrence ave east and backs to Heron Park

It's got everything you need. Only complaint the arena is cold and the heaters for the fans are never on/ don't work

In the summer the splash pad is great, the have updated the park last year has been greatly improved, I love taking my children here

There is new equipment at the playground. It looks fantastic. This playground is conveniently located between the community centre and the library.

Great outdoor pool area but change rooms are not maintained very well and it can get pretty disgusting.

They also have a large gym for the Toronto Parks recreation program.

There's also a skating rink that I have not had a pleasure to use but it's quite busy with all the hockey league activity.

Awesome for the kids on a hot day and their hours are great. There is always at least three life guards and for the most part they are friendly towards the children. The pool deck is always clean.

It's a great spot for pokemon go community days. Just be mindful of the various wedding parties that like to take pictures during the warmer summer months. Be respectful and accommodating if you're asked to step out of a shot. It's a open shared space, so let's all work together to keep it that way.

Grew up here, skating, swimming, hanging out. Good memories here. They completely renovated the whole place. Looks really nice. Still miss the old place a bit. But this is a lot better.

They revamped this centre a few years ago and its great, clean, accessible. I was at a vinyl record event in an empty ice rink I skated on as a kid, neat.

It's a nice place, spacious and we did cooking and skating with my 4yrs old and that's a nice experience indeed

Many programs are there, some of them for free. There are ice rinks and an outdoor swimming pool. Stuff is nice and professional.
