Bluffer's Park
Bluffer's Park is a beach park along Lake Ontario's edge with a long sandy shore backed by towering geological cliffs. The upper area provides lookout points overlooking the water, while the lower section includes the swimming beach with picnic areas and walking trails through surrounding green spaces.
The Scarborough Bluffs formed over 12,000 years ago through glacial activity and reveal sediment layers from the Ice Age. The park itself developed as a public recreation area to provide access to this geological formation and the lakeshore for visitors.
The park takes its name from early settlers who fished along these shores. Today, the beach and cliffs serve as a gathering place where locals escape urban life to reconnect with the waterfront.
Reach the park by car via Bluffer's Park Road or take the 175 bus from Kennedy Station for public transit access. Arrive early on warm weekends when the parking lot fills quickly.
The beach itself was created by bringing in sand to form a safe swimming area, while the natural cliffs behind reveal how glaciers shaped the landscape thousands of years ago. A marsh area between two beach sections provides a habitat for waterfowl and offers wildlife viewing.
