Humber Bay Parks along Toronto's waterfront

You got your Humber Bay Park West and you got your Humber Bay Park East, gateways to the bike paths along downtown Toronto's waterfront. This is one of my favourite parks because it is easily accessible off the Gardiner Expressway in the south-west end of Toronto, has reasonable amount of relatively inexpensive parking along with bathroom facilities and avoided all that fifa stuff going on in Exhibition Place. Plus nature and a boat launch.

I watched two families of ducks up close, enjoying the edge of the water, dipping in and out of the water as the parents kept watch on their brood. It was delightful.
From the City's parks website, "Humber Bay Park West is a narrow park jutting out into the water of Lake Ontario in the City's west end. It's an excellent spot for bird watchers hoping to find interesting waterfowl and shorebirds. Along the shores of Humber Bay West, you'll also spot a wide variety of ducks overwintering in Lake Ontario. Combine your walkthrough Humber Bay Park West with a loop around Humber Bay Park East for a great day of hiking. A number of parking lots and paved pathways make this an accessible park." In the east park you can find the Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat.
Then the city with it's bike paths and trails is just open to travel with bicycles. No more parking or traffic jams to bother you along the way. Here is the City's website about Toronto bike paths.
