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.
