Walking Through Col. Sam Smith Park

I love this park but I realized recently that I haven’t ventured out this far in awhile. Today I decided it was time to get back here and explore some of my favourite places. As I got closer to the pond I was actually shocked at how low the water level was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it like this.

People are taking advantage of this unusually warm November and on this sunny afternoon the locals were soaking up some rays near the lake.

A Much Smaller Park Than Normal

one of my favourite destinations in the neighbourhood will be considerably smaller for close to a year

After higher than normal water levels for a couple of years, erosion has taken its toll on the shoreline of Lake Ontario and the beaches next to our parks. To prevent further erosion the city is fixing the problem but our park over by Third Street will see half the park fenced off to make the repairs. On my walk a couple of days ago I still had a nice view of the lake from the west side of the park but over to the east the park is fenced off and filled with stone and heavy equipment.
