Since its opening in the summer of 1993, it has become one of the City's most popular parks. Bayfront Park boasts a number of features perfectly suited to a waterfront setting. A 6-metre wide asphalt pathway provides wonderful opportunities to engage in a variety of leisure activities while enjoying views of the surrounding harbour area, making it a popular spot for walkathons. Gravel and crushed stone pathways located along the lower shoreline offer visitors a quieter, more restful waterfront journey, as well as close proximity to fish and waterfowl. Bayfront Park's upper plateau, an expansive lawn area, makes it an ideal location for special events such as Aquafest, Festitalia, and Canada Day festivities, which bring thousands of people to the park every year.
Parking is available on-site.
The park is fully accessible and is located on Bay Street North at Harbourfront Drive. The new design of the park took full advantage of Pier 4's size and excellent location in the harbour to create an intimate waterfront experience. The Bayport is oriented to provide children with a full view of the water and forms the centrepiece of a unique, interactive play area. A curved boardwalk with a pavilion and benches offers spectacular, panoramic views of the surrounding marinas and parkland, and a shoreline promenade allows access to the water's edge. The site is also a superb vantage point from which to enjoy water activities such as boating, windsurfing, and sailing.
