Spencer Smith Park, Urban park in downtown Burlington, Canada.

Spencer Smith Park is a waterfront space that stretches along Lake Ontario with a wide promenade for walking and viewing the water. The park combines several features including a beach area, gardens, and a pier extending into the lake, with the Burlington Skyway Bridge visible in the distance.

A protective seawall was built along the shore in 1939 to stabilize the waterfront. This foundation led to the creation of this space, which developed under the direction of the Burlington Horticultural Society.

The park includes a Japanese garden, memorials to naval history, and several sculptures that reflect the town's heritage and connections. These elements tell stories of the people and events that have shaped this waterfront community.

A pond in the center of the park freezes over in winter and becomes an ice skating space, while warmer months bring model boat sailing opportunities. The wide promenade is easy to walk along and suitable for various activities year-round.

The Brant Street Pier extends roughly 137 meters into the lake, offering sweeping views of the water and shoreline from its end. This long structure provides a unique vantage point for taking in the scale and expanse of the waterfront.
