Some clouds over the Lake Ontario and
our beautiful Bluffer's Park in the background...
Bluffer's Park was designed to improve public access to the waterfront along the base of the Scarborough Bluffs.
Brimley Road was one of the few locations where a descent to Lake Ontario was possible.
The park was developed in two stages by the former Metropolitan Toronto and Region Conservation Authority.
The first phase satisfied a need for public open space and was officially completed and opened in 1975 at a cost of $2.2 million.
Phase two, developed for $6.0 million and completed in the early 1980's, provided public launching facilities for recreational boaters and sailors, as well as open space for private yacht clubs. A total of 2.6 million cubic metres of lakefill was used at Bluffer's Park. On top of the bluffs a large meadow offers an excellent view of the sandstone cliffs, Bluffer's Park and beyond.
Toronto Parks and Recreation is responsible for the maintenance and operation of this waterfront park.

I will never tire of the bluffs from the first time at age 10 that I saw the pictures on a calendar and at Warden station to the time we moved to Scarborough (Brimley an dKingston Road) I have been in love with it's majestic views. It is the background for all my teen experiences happy and sad! And then my wedding day! Beauty in the city!
wonderful view!
