We thought we would make it to Center Island a few times this summer. However, we kept busy with so many other fun activities that we never made it there. We were blessed with a beautiful September though so we were able to make the jaunt over there two weekends in a row! Center Island reminds us of Stanley Park in that it is a beautiful park in the middle of the city. What makes Center Island even better is that it is on Toronto Island, accessible by a foot passenger ferry, so it is a huge expansive park space with no cars!
(a refreshing request)
It boasts a playground, waterpark, beach, and petting zoo.
It also has a cool little amusement park, 'Centreville'.
Part of the fun is definitely the ferry ride!
