Parks & Recreation
New Toronto has a bevy of waterfront parks, including Colonel Samuel Smith Park. This park includes the first Wetlands-Wildlife Restoration trail on the Great Lakes. This wetland habitat is home to a large variety of fish, birds, frogs, garter snakes, painted turtles and a vast array of wildflowers. The Lakeshore Yacht Club is also based in this park. New Toronto's smaller waterfront parks, east of Colonel Samuel Smith Park, include Cliff Lumsden Park, Prince of Wales Park and Rotary Peace Park. Cliff Lumsden and Prince of Wales Parks offer magnificent views of the Toronto waterfront. The Prince of Wales Park also features an artificial ice rink, a wading pool and a children's playground. Rotary Peace Park features a new outdoor swimming pool, a large baseball diamond, two tennis courts, and a children's playground. Adjacent to this park, overlooking Lake Ontario, is the New Toronto Lawn Bowling Club.
