Marie Curtis Park

Marie Curtis Park spans both sides of Etobicoke Creek, featuring forests, meadows, sand dunes, and beaches along Lake Ontario's shoreline.

The park emerged in 1959 following Hurricane Hazel's destruction in 1954, replacing a residential area where 56 homes were destroyed by flooding.

The park bears the name of Marie Curtis, the reeve of Long Branch, marking it among the few North American beaches named after a female leader.

Visitors access multiple facilities including a swimming beach, playground, wading pool, fitness equipment, volleyball courts, and connection to the Waterfront Trail.

The western boundary of Marie Curtis Park forms the municipal border between Toronto and Mississauga, creating an inter-city recreational space.
