Untitled[edit]

"This park incorporates elements of a park, beach, and golf course. The park's standout feature is a sandpit that holds Muskoka chairs and enormous fixed yellow metal umbrellas. The umbrellas were designed to evoke the Georges Seurat painting A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.[1] Small shower setups allow you to wash off sand from your feet. Large, well maintained grass islands are separated by circular pathways ideal for cyclists, while tall grasses blow in the wind. At night, the park has LED lights illuminate the knolls."

I think that paragraph need to be rewritten. Some of it is biased and the other parts aren't very informative ("while tall grasses blow in the wind"). —Preceding unsigned comment added by LOctopus (talk • contribs) 18:44, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What does it mean?[edit]

Why is it called H_TO? Is this Canadian for H₂O?--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 12:54, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"TO" is commonly used to refer to Toronto and it is a waterfront park, and so it is a play on WATER. Secondarywaltz (talk) 13:17, 20 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism[edit]

I've removed the unsourced "criticism" section, which cites criticisms that one can hear the nearby expressway at the park, and that you can't swim in the water. As Sugar Beach notes, you can't swim in this area of the lake, period, so I don't see how this itself amounts to a criticism of this particular urban beach. Before restoring, please consider whether there are reliable sources to verify that such criticisms are notable, and not just personal research or complaints.

Golf Course?[edit]

The article currently states "The park incorporates elements of a park, beach, and golf course." The golf course is now closed, correct? I can't see it on Google maps. PK T(alk) 22:47, 2 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
