Ashbridges Bay


Location: Lake Shore Blvd East M4L 3W6
District: Toronto & East York

If you like the beach and enjoy a nice jog or simply a relaxed walk down the boardwalk, Ashbridges Bay is perfect for you! This park is composed of 35 hectares of waterfront park which includes a regional softball centre and public boat launch ramps. Pedestrian and bicycle trails are located on the Martin Goodman Trail. Complementing its expansive beaches is the Woodbine Beach boardwalk. Also on site, is a recently renovated restaurant where you can relax indoors and enjoy a cold drink along with delicious food after a day full of nature, relaxation, and exercise!

The park features three slow-pitch softball diamonds and a rugby pitch. The park also has beach volleyball games throughout the summer so if you're looking for a recreational activity that commences weekly, beach volleyball is a perfect way to stay active with friends while getting some sun. The park even has a skateboarding park just a few minutes north of the beach!

In March Ashbridges bay is still beautiful to visit with restaurants and the boardwalk, softball pitches, skate park, and surrounding green space available to enjoy all year round.

Did you know? The park is named after Sarah Ash Bridge, a Quaker widow and United Empire
Loyalist from Philadelphia who settled here in 1793 and obtained a Crown land grant for a farm
in 1799.
