  • Backgrounder: Toronto's Cherry Beach at Clarke Beach Park is a Blue Flag beach and often rated as the cleanest and warmest beach in Toronto. It faces Leslie Spit on Lake Ontario and is between the Port Lands on the north-west, a public parking lot and Regatta Road on the east. Summer time activities include beach picnics, a dog off-leash area, swimming, windsurfing and kitesurfing, cycling, photography, socials and BBQ's. The lake bottom consists of pebbles with some algae. Facilities: A TTC bus stop, public parking, washrooms with change rooms, a picturesque lifeguard station, and occasionally a burger food truck. Clarke Beach Park as a name never took hold with locals and so in 2003 Cherry Beach was added to the name by the City of Toronto to be Cherry Beach Clarke Beach Park for the area. Harry Clarke was a Toronto alderman who was responsible for creating the park in the early 1930s. Clarke Beach Park today is the green land beyond Cherry Beach from Cherry Street to beyond Regatta Road. It follows the Martin Goodman Trail which passes Cherry Street, Cherry Beach, the Cherry Beach Sports Fields, to the eight co-operative water-sports clubs looking towards the former Hearn Generating Station. Cherry Beach Clarke Beach Park will eventually become the western arm of Lake Ontario Park. That's a lot of names. The beach may have been a thin body of sand between Lake Ontario and one of largest wetlands in Eastern Canada before Europeans settled here. At different times it joined to the Toronto Islands before being washed away by storms. There's a photo of it as an island in 1915. In the 1920s the polluted area behind, Ashbridge's Bay, was filled in to create the Toronto Port Lands. Then in the 1950s the creation of the Leslie Street Spit breakwater for an Outer Harbour created a bay opposite the beach. Before then the popular with locals beach looked across the lake towards the Canada US border as does the Toronto Beaches by Ashbridge's Bay does today.
