| - I'm going to be a Debbie-Downer and say that I don't really like this place.
While I understand that Toronto lacks real "beachy" spots - and this place provides lots of sand and sun for volleyball, that is really all it offers, in my opinion.
I get bored here. I wish I could enjoy it more, but I find it crowded, lacking any good spots for food, and the parking is ridiculous on a nice day. The grassy areas are very dirty - I remember hosting a BBQ here one year and 5 of us spent about 30 minutes picking up firework casing, candy wrappers and some unmentionables just because we were worried about what the little ones might get their hands on. I can't imagine what this place was like during the garbage strike.
I do have a good story from this place though. A couple of years ago at a barbeque, in the middle of the day, a guy came running past us wearing only running shoes. A few minutes later the cops came and wrestled him down, in all of his naked glory. The cops struggled to wrap some garbage bags around him, the children were screaming, the adults didn't know what to do. It was amazing.
