When making a reservation for Wheel Trans to visit Fire Hall 30 or the play areas, use code BIIDAAS-PK and 39 Commissioners St. as the destination address. The Wheel Trans drop-off and pick-up location is the TTC stop located nearest to Old Fire Hall 30, which is located at 39 Commissioners St.
When making a reservation for Wheel Trans to visit the west portion of the park, use code BIIDAAS-WE and 242 Cherry St. as the destination address.

By Water Shuttle
Biidaasige Park can be accessed by the East‑West Water Shuttle, a seasonal service connecting Toronto’s inner harbour. Visitors can travel to the Ookwemin Minising (East Harbour/Port Lands) stop, located off Cherry Street (242 Cherry St.) and walk directly into Biidaasige Park from the dock area.
Plan ahead: Shuttle vessels have limited capacity (approximately 12 passengers per trip) and may fill up during busy periods. Visitors are encouraged to book in advance where possible and have a backup travel option in case of longer wait times.
By Canoe or Kayak
For more information on paddling, including details on access points, visit the Fishing and Paddling section on Recreation at Biidaasige Park.
The park features several areas meant for canoe and kayak landings, on both sides of the river. Steps are provided from the river up to the park paths. There is no canoe or kayak storage on site.
Paddling in the east harbour is challenging due to frequent high winds and waves as well as local freighter traffic. The new mouth of the Don River leading into the park is at the Polson Slip.
By Ride Share
Visitors using ride share as transportation to and from the park should use 11 Munition St. as the location address. Pick-ups and drop-offs are prohibited on Commissioners Street.
By Car
Parking in the area is limited. There is a small, temporary lot at 11 Munition St. with 120 spaces. There is some on-street parking at certain hours on Old Cherry Street, Villiers Street and Munition Street. Read the signs to avoid ticketing.
