| - Does the hot weather sometimes make me a grumpy gander?
Well, maybe....well, probably.....well, likely.....well, yes, yes it does.
Hot bird aside, I cannot understand why any Torontonian, or any person for that matter, would ever want to spend time here. (We have swimmable beaches approx 2-3km in either direction as well as on the Toronto islands)
Sugar Beach is approx 2000sf of imported soft sand, dumped in the middle of nowhere, on top of concrete, surrounded by one newly built commercial high-rise, one crumbling industrial building and a few docks meant for large ass ships. Oh, sorry, forgot about the 3 parking lots and the two barely developed, but under heavy construction, condos to the east.
For any amorous types reading this, let me assure you, these are not the type of docks which inspire The Notebook type of sensibilities. There are not any cute little areas where one gets to swing or jump into the water. These docks were meant for, and are used for, heavy, large, industrial trading with the types of massive ships which should cause one nightmares if they were ever to end up swimming beside their haul.
Unless you are looking to create your own
Kate/Leo scenario where no one survives, Sugar Beach offers ZERO access to water, of any type; pool, splash pad, fun Epcot Center/Sherbourne Commons type jumping water balls.
But don't despair, there is a water fountain.
Pretty much, anyone who can get here by walking, biking, transit, driving, time-travel, spaceship, should use that energy to go anywhere else except here.
If you want to hang out at a super hot place with limited access to public washrooms, refreshment options and no access to water, let me know - I will only charge $6 for access to my rooftop patio, less than half of what it will cost you to park at sugar beach.
