Description
Leslie Lookout Park is a new and thoughtfully designed urban park located at the foot of Leslie Street in Toronto’s Port Lands area, right along the city’s eastern waterfront. Opened in 2023, this modern park features a mix of landscaped green space, artistic features, and waterfront access, offering visitors a peaceful spot to take in views of Lake Ontario and the nearby Outer Harbour.
While not a traditional swimming beach, the park includes a pebbly shoreline and elevated lookout points that are perfect for relaxing, walking, and enjoying the natural surroundings. It's popular with walkers, cyclists, and birdwatchers, as well as those simply looking to unwind by the water. The park also includes sculptural elements, benches, native plantings, and an accessible pathway that winds along the lake.
Leslie Lookout Park is easy to reach via public transit, cycling paths, or by car, with street parking available nearby. While there are no facilities like restrooms or food vendors directly on-site, the park is close to other amenities in the Port Lands and Beaches areas. It’s open year-round and pet-friendly, making it an inviting and scenic spot for a quiet waterfront stroll or a peaceful break from the city bustle.
