It was my first time visiting Etienne Brule Park ever. I went with my husband and son on a Friday afternoon and it was just spectacular and beautiful. On the Saturday, we returned with my brother, his kids and more family. We brought food, had an evening picnic and enjoyed a fire, told stories and sang. We had so much fun, a little boy asked his mom if he could come over and join us... I think it was the fire that was most appealing to him. We got there around 6:30 pm and stayed until 8:30 pm. Everybody would have stayed longer. There's something special about telling stories around a fire. It was such a fun experience. I look forward to visiting this park when I next return to Toronto.
highlights: - beautiful location & landscaping - centrally located - free parking available - humber river bank throughout makes it even better I drove here by chance driving to the tennis courts and this was indeed a beautiful find. I loved the area & location nearby. Its best when its sunny and green here. I couldn't do the trail walk but it appeared a worthy one. You can bring your cycles or just walkrun, fish, play, relax here. Its a good one for a family day out. will be visiting again for a walk. Recommended. Enjoy!
This is a beautiful park to walk through and enjoy in the city. The Humber river runs through it and you can observe the salmon migration here during the fall. I love that there are parks like this in our city.
Fun to walk around or fish for trout. Great little park. Right now there is a lot of construction on east side and no sidewalk on the bridge but overall nice little place
A beautiful and peaceful place to get away from the city while still being in the city. This is a great place to spend a peaceful day besides the Humber River. You can come with a picnick and spend the day or go on a walk for a few hours following the river. Also this is a very quiet place so it's a great to get away from everything.
Beautiful park with nice bike lane ! Watched a few Salmons unsuccessfully try jump over.
Beautiful park and nice trails. You can also see salmon fish running in the Humber river in fall.
Etienne Brule is a very scenic, well maintained park with jogging and cycling trails, on the banks of the Humber River . Went there for watching the salmon swim upstream to spawn, but there were not any to be seen. I was told that the temperature might be too warm and we might need to wait for it to get a little cooler. Will definitely head back to take another look.
Came here on Saturday to see the salmon runs and they were quite active on the first dam. Is that what they’re called. We hiked north on the path to the next dam and we didn’t see any fishes at all. Thank you to the other reviewer that mentioned the construction - everything was quite muddy especially given all the rain we’ve had. And parking was completely closed and we had to find parking in the neighborhood - which really wasn’t that bad. Another thing to note is that the washrooms are closed. The ravine is also fenced off, so we didn’t see any fly fishers like we did in past years.
The beauty of this park is truly captivating. Its stunning scenery, combined with the bustling energy of the city, creates an awe-inspiring ambiance that is simply amazing. Whether you prefer a peaceful stroll or an invigorating bike ride, this park offers an incredible experience that is hard to match. Amidst its breathtaking landscapes, the park offers numerous idyllic spots where one can sit and contemplate the serene Humber River. It's a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, and a great way to rejuvenate one's mind and soul. Overall, I highly recommend this park to anyone looking for an unforgettable outdoor experience. Its natural beauty and serene atmosphere provide a perfect backdrop for a tranquil and reflective retreat.
