This waterfront oasis is Toronto's secret park for nature lovers Toronto Park
The Leslie Street Spit began as a manmade peninsula of discarded bricks and debris, but is now one of Toronto's most beloved nature getaways.
Whether you refer to it as Leslie Spit, the Spit, Tommy Thompson, or the Outer Harbour East Headland , this five-kilometre path extending from Leslie Street south to the water is a testament to the unrelenting resilience of mother nature.A real city-nature mash-up, this stretch near Woodbine Beach is home to 400 species of plants and an immense population of birds, all of which reside and flourish alongside hills of eroded cement and rebar on the Spit's shores.
Lookout points along the beginning part of the path let walkers and cyclist check out the eastern view. On weekends the park opens early, at 5:30 a.m., and closes at 9 p.m. During the weekdays you'll have to skip the early morning walk and head over for the incredible view of the sunset instead, since the park opens late, at 4 p.m., and closes at 9 p.m.It'll take a little over an hour for moderate walkers to cover the entire path well-worn by bikers, joggers and nature lovers craving an escape from the city.
Despite this, the natural environment has thrived on this manmade piece of land and the naturalization of the Spit has become a big priority with plans to turn the entire area into a parkland in the future.Today the area is quite a bird lover's paradise, with over 300 species calling it home.
