Directions to The Humber Bay West Dog Park:

• Enter Humber Bay Park West. The entrance to Humber Bay Park West is off Lake Shore Boulevard, just west of Park Lawn Road.
• Enter the park and continue on Humber Bay Park Road West.
• Drive all the way to the end (almost), passing three yacht clubs, until you reach a cul-de-sac.
• There's parking on the north side, along the road.
• Walk about 250 meters along the path behind the parking area (north of the parking spots ).
• Your dog will help you find it.

• Bike Trails: Adding to the draw of these parks are the 16 bike trails that meander through both the East and West Humber Bay Parks. They are all part of the Martin Goodman Trail, which spans 56 km, from one end of the Toronto lakefront to the other. It is part of the Waterfront Trail System, the 730 km stretch of trails that circles Lake Ontario. Access to and through the parks from these bike trails creates a unique access point that is beloved by all those who frequent the parks.
  
  
• Bridges: There are 3 beautiful bridges to cross in the East Park. You can traverse the largest pond by way of a long and interconnected walking bridge, as well as a small bridge that crosses the creek further up the path. Near the public washrooms, there is a concrete promenade that acts as a bridge connecting both sides of the pond. While there is no bridge in the West Park, the Mimico Creek Pedestrian Bridge connects both parks by spanning Mimico Creek near the entrance. An architectural beauty, many consider the Mimico Bridge to be a highlight of the park.
  
  
• Scenic Trails: Running, jogging, walking or even just standing and breathing the fresh lake air. You will see people doing this every day on the trails that are easily accessible from every condo building in the area. These trails run from one end of Humber Bay Shores to the other and through every park. Enjoy!
  
  
• Sundial: The Air India 182 Memorial Sundial is a sight to behold! Set just north of the parking lot in Humber Bay Park East, the sundial sits at the center of the memorial area. The bombing of Air India 182, near the coast of Ireland in June of 1985 and the bombing of the Japanese airport that same day led to the loss of 331 lives. These names are inscribed on the walls in this memorial area so that they are not forgotten. The sundial, which is made from stones from every province and multiple different countries, makes sure that the sun never fully sets on the lives cut short by this tragedy.
  
  
• Parking Lots: There is plenty of parking in Humber Bay Parks, on both the East and West sides. They are quite busy in the summertime, so be sure to come early if you want to find parking. Between May and October, there is a charge for parking, so be prepared for that as well. Marine Parade Drive connects to the East Parking lot, and Humber Bay Park Road West connects to the 5 different parking lots in the West park.
  
  
• Picnic Sites: The beautiful thing about a picnic is that wherever you lay down your picnic blanket is your picnic site! Numerous places can be considered picnic sites in both parks, including the Humber Bay East Shore and any of the open park spaces. Make sure to clean up your mess so that the park stays beautiful for all other visitors after you.
  
  
• Pond: The East Park has many beautiful ponds for you to enjoy. Who else enjoys these wonderful ponds? The local wildlife! Fish, ducks, beavers, swans and animals of all types use these ponds as either a home or a resting place. Who can snap the most photos of as many different types of wildlife as possible can be a fun competition between you and your friends visiting the park.
  
  
• Washroom Facility: Due to the popularity of the park, there are ample washroom facilities on both the East and West sides, near the entrance of the West and the center of the East park. Many public parks don’t have the luxury of such washroom amenities, and they are greatly appreciated by the public, especially those who come to the parks to swim.
  
  
• Lighthouse: Humber Bay is home to two lighthouses. One on the interior of the bay, the Humber Bay Park Lighthouse and one at the entrance to the marina area, the Toronto East Entrance Inner Lighthouse. The long and storied history of the lighthouses make for a great learning experience while visiting the park and they are quite pretty to look at. It's well worth checking out if you are in the West Park.
  
  
• Butterfly Habitat: The Humber Bay Park Butterfly Habitat is located in Humber Bay Shores Park, which is located just west of Humber Bay Park East. Critical habitat for many native butterfly species, the park is filled with native species of plant life, making it a sanctuary for butterflies and other interesting insects. For your best chance at seeing butterflies in action, go on a sunny and wind-free day.
