Ashbridge's Bay Park was named after Sarah Ashbridge, a Quaker widow and United Empire Loyalist from Philadelphia who settled here in 1793 and obtained a Crown land grant in 1799 for a farm. Ashbridge's Bay originally extended from Cherry Street to Woodbine Avenue although lake filling for industrial uses has claimed most of the marshlands.
The park currently features expansive beaches, marina, fishing and the Woodbine Beach boardwalk.
