Beach |
On a lazy, spring Sunday morning, what better can it be than a walk in the sun, right next to the lake Ontario?
You can hear seagulls squawking (or whatever is called what they do), sound of runner's tennis shoes against the path, dogs barking, roller blades and wind thru the trees.
You can sit back and relax watching tenacious men doing their exercises (I have female friends who actually enjoy that activity) or simply ignore all the life around and bask in the sun and fresh lake air.
Sunnyside is a lakefront district in Toronto that consists of beaches and parks. There is a boardwalk that goes from the Humber bridge - which I love - all the way to the east side of the city.

West of the Sunnyside Pavilion and the main beach, there's Sir Casimir Gzowski Park (named after the railways guy), and on the east side is the Budapest Park (named after a Hungarian Revolution in 1956).
Aside the main beach, there are also a few smaller ones along the waterfront.
Despite being considered for years to be too polluted, they are open for swimming (and they're supposed to be safe now) so you can actually knock yourself out and enjoy the lake as well as the sandy sunbathing platform. I haven't tried out that yet though.

The importance of this place is huge. Living in a city like Toronto, or any big city for that matter, requires places where you can turn your back to traffic, noise and everyday rush. Toronto has many of those places and Sunnyside is just one of them.
