Colonel Samuel Smith Park, Lakefront park in Etobicoke, Canada.

Colonel Samuel Smith Park is a 113-acre waterfront area with paved trails, open meadows, and natural habitats stretching along Lake Ontario. The property includes diverse zones with different vegetation types and wildlife habitats throughout.

The park occupies land that belonged to Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Smith in the 1800s, after whom it is named. It was developed from the 1970s onward and opened in 1996. Before that, the shoreline served as a weekend getaway for Victorian Torontonians.

The park's name recalls Lieutenant Colonel Samuel Smith, whose 1800s property included these lands. In summer it hosts Brass in the Grass, a Lakeshore tradition of jazz and blues bands playing through the weekend into the night, with food stands and activities for children. Travelling fairs and amusement parks also stop here on long weekends.

Parking is available at the foot of Kipling Avenue, along Lake Shore Boulevard and on nearby side streets, where some fees may apply. A sheltered picnic area with tables sits on the south side of the Humber College campus, next to the cricket pitch; a playground with a double slide and swing set is a short walk away.

The park's peninsula and rocky beaches draw more than one hundred nesting bird species, and observation decks let visitors watch turtles sunning on rocks, ducklings, swans and beaver dams. The CN Tower is visible across the lake on clear days.
