Ashbridge's Bay is a bay and park in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located along Lake Shore Boulevard next to Woodbine Beach in the Beaches. The Martin Goodman Trail and boardwalk run through the park along the bay. The boardwalk runs 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) from Ashbridge's Bay in the west to the R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant in the east along Lake Ontario. It was once part of the marsh that lay east of Toronto Islands and Toronto Harbour. The bay is named for Sarah Ashbridge, a British loyalist from Philadelphia whose family once lived nearby on a farm. It was once a five square kilometre marsh on the Don River delta and one of the largest wetlands in Eastern Canada. A breakwall formed on the western end with an outlet into Toronto Bay. Before the 1900, the bay was used to obtain ice during the winter months and stopped after the bay became polluted to the point the water became unsafe: Samuel Hill's Ice House at Leslie Street and Eastern Avenue Graham's Ice House at Lake (now Knox) and Eastern Avenue Martin McKee's Ice House at foot of Carlaw Avenue at (now infill area near Lake Shore Boulevard) Due to industrial development and sewage disposal into the marsh, in 1910 a Toronto Board of Trade proposal for Ashbridge's Bay was for an industrial district for industrial offices and sites served by railway lines, public warehouses alongside docking facilities south of Keating Channel to the Eastern Gap and a parkland/recreational strip at the south end.

Lovely long, wide wooden boardwalk for strolling down along a beautiful wide sandy beach. Lots of Volleyball nets available for use. I have no idea how the system works on them, if they need to be reserved or rented etc.. However there were plenty. Beautiful lake view to paddle board, kite surf or launch your See-do. Build great castles of sand and/or relax in the many Adirondack chairs. A public washroom is available at the Olympic's pool by the beach. There is also a wide 2-way bike path. Lots of beautiful trees changing colors for fall. Plenty of benches, garbage and recycling bins. The area is well maintained. I highly recommend visiting
Right next to woodbine beach a great place nestled in the heart of Toronto. Great for picnic, biking, fishing, walking with family.
My first time here in this park. I took the trail around the park. Very nice and very clean
Excellent place to go especially for a walk through the path and bike ride dog park
