I think it looks beautiful! I love the beach area facing the gorgeous view of the city. You picked the perfect time to be there and capture the beautiful sun shining on the beach! Thank you .Sally. 👍😊🇨🇦

It's a bit out of the way but sure is a nice view Krystine.

What a great new park. Love the view and the fake beach! I'm honored the sand is from my home state 🙂🇨🇦

[@onceuponacity]

Ohio has some lovely sand, had to run it through my fingers @ThomasC-Crazy4NiagaraFalls 🙂 Thank you for visiting Thomas.

[@ThomasC-Crazy4NiagaraFalls]

I wonder where in Ohio it is from. I'm not too far from some lovely sandy Lake Erie beaches. Not sure if the sand is naturally occurring or it is shipped in from maybe the same place Toronto bought their Ohio sand, lol. I should research it 🙂

​@@onceuponacitySo cool, yeah!🌸 Sally, when I get back to Toronto, it's really nice to know there'll be, not one, but two human-made beaches to visit as well as wondrous Lake Ontario to travel on via ferry.🏖😎

I was wondering when this would open. Amazing view from the fake beach. Great video Sally. Thanks for sharing.

[@onceuponacity]

Thank u Modano 🙂

[@margd77]

Hey, Sally! Thanks for showing us this new fake beach. They should have put some coloured umbrellas in it like the other two fake beaches. 😊

[@onceuponacity]

Umbrellas are a great idea Marg 🙂

That's a lot of sand there in the fake beach, Sally! I haven't visited beautiful Toronto since summer, 1981. I love Canada; growing up in Maine I was able to visit many, many times. Mostly camping, hunting & fishing back in the day. Another interesting episode, thanks for sharing & take good care!

[@onceuponacity]

Thank you @davestelling 🙂

[@Daveinbangormaine]

Good morning Sally. They really did a great job on this.

[@onceuponacity]

Good day Dave. Turning an industrial area into an inviting park is something Dave 🙂

[@boomgraham]

i don’t mind a fake beach lol! great views

[@onceuponacity]

Fake beach. Real view 🙂

[@upstatenybob7529]

Great video! A nice new spot for the folks who live in that area and a nice way to repurpose an industrial section. You find the coolest sports, OUAC! 🙂

[@onceuponacity]

It's quite a view Bob 🙂

[@totoroutes5389]

Cool video, park opening. Portlands seems to be coming along quicker than imagined. I used to bicycle from sunnyside to the beaches, i'm a sucker for golden hour light in industrial area scenery 🍁.

[@onceuponacity]

Sunnyside to The Beaches is quite a trek 🙂 I agree Toto, the view at the beach park was sweet.

[@patnolche]

Hi Sally you find all the interesting areas around Toronto, this looks real with real sand to feel and touch so maybe I could call it a Make beach minus the swimable water instead of fake, I learn a lot from your informative streams, thanks a lot, my phone is out of memory and stops videoing, so got to correct that as I also cannot stream to TV and have to watch this beautiful scenery on its tiny screen.

[@onceuponacity]

Maybe you can check out the beach/park while in Toronto. Enjoyed your walks around town Patrick 🙂

[@patnolche]

@@onceuponacity Thank you so much

[@onceuponacity]

[@georgehoward9306]

As always another Sally exclusive. You are the best!!

[@onceuponacity]

Enjoy the rest of your weekend George 🙂

[@daleparsad6696]

Im going to see this.

[@onceuponacity]

It's a nice beach but a little off the beaten path.

[@torontowalker17]

Is there ttc access near by 🤔

[@Modano1973]

According to Google Maps, the TTC 83 Jones bus does have a stop at Leslie St and Commissioners St. It's about a 5 minute walk from the bus stop in order to get to the Leslie Lookout Park.
