Did you know that Spencer Smith Park is one of Ontario's most romantic places?
It's not hard to see why this Burlington park is known as the most romantic spot in the city. This park stretches across the shoreline of Lake Ontario and includes a beautiful beach, pier, and amazing views from anywhere in the park.
Grab your skates and take your date ice skating on the Rotary Centennial Pond. Overlooking Lake Ontario, this reflective pool is beautiful during the warmer months, but as an ice rink it offers the perfect way to spend time with your loved one. Skates can be rented weekdays from 5pm to 10pm or weekends 10am to 10pm.
The waterfront pathways along the lake offer a tremendous view. The city of Burlington keeps all pathways clear during the winter months so you can enjoy a long stroll hand in hand, no matter the weather.
Explore the Japanese Garden to view the Cherry Blossoms in bloom from late March to early May. This park is famous for wedding photography, and during the warmer months, there's a small beach perfect for an afternoon dip in the lake!
During the winter months Discovery Landing, a beautiful glass building in the centre of the park, offers a warm spot to enjoy the view. The observatory provides a panoramic view of the Burlington Bay, and it's known as a high demand spot for weddings!
End your day with a romantic dinner at Spencer's at the Waterfront, a sophisticated restaurant with an exceptional view of the lake.
