Reviews of Minet's Point Park (Park)

Charles

Its a great little park right on the waters edge .Some times there are a few too many geese and gulls and thus a lot of poop around but if people would not feed the so often and clean up there might be fewer. There are bathrooms here and little parking at $3.00 an hour.

Nomad jono

Beautiful beach and Feild

Tasha G

$10 an hour for parking. City of Barrie drinking the Koolaid. Gotta be rich to let your kids go swimming and play in the sand for the day.

Sebastian

Decent park, great location to launch a kayak ????, like it.

Sandra Thornton

Minet's Point is a small park that great for young children to swim and fabulous to Kayak or Sup boarding.

Rajvinder Yogi

Awesome place to visit in Barrie. Especially at nighttime.

Gabrielle Huston

A lovely smaller beach on lake simcoe if you don't want to deal with the huge crowds during the day at centennial park. Also a good place for rock skipping. However, if you like swimming deep, this isn't the area I'd recommend as opposed to centennial beach, as the algae gets pretty thick pretty quickly.

Scruffy Scribbles

Very family-friendly no dogs allowed

Moisés Vanin

Its a nice little beach with a playground for kids but the parking is ridiculously expensive

Miho Hashida

It was beautiful place! Some people doing paddle board. Play ground also there too. Public washroom was there and parking lot fee was $3 for a hour.

Darlene MacDonald

Beautiful spot!

Nomi 353

View is excellent but it's a small place and limited parking space.

Jason S (PrimeTime)

Nice place to park and have a coffee

Susan Day

It can be crowded

mcyeller

Great family park. The Beach is a couple hundred feet long, lots of great sand and plenty of shallow water for small kids with a drop off about twenty meters from shore with markers. There is a modern and large playground right next to the beach and parking is also just a few steps away. It has a huge grassy area and plenty of shade trees. The view of the boats and downtown Barrie are great. The geese can be messy though, which is my only complaint. There is a small store with ice cream and such just a one minute walk away. Or a fifteen minute walk to McDonald's, Dairy Queen, Pizza pizza, Giant tiger and a Dollar store to name just a few of the stores nearby. There is also a public washroom and change room building with running water. Great place to spend the day.

Caitlin Hopkins

Beautiful view of Barrie shoreline. Great park for kids to play on.

Gavin Doran

Parking could be addressed.. but great View's

Joanne Black

Great park!

Burke Boot

Clean and quiet

kuldip patel

Nice place to get peace

Amber Cascanette

Very nice park and beach area. The area has quite a few trees, so there is shaded areas. There are picnic tables available and benches to sit on. The beach area is a little rocky and closer to the water has a lot of zebra mussels on the beach, so keeping sandals on or having swim shoes is a must. Overall, it's a fun area to bring the kids to play and to picnic. Plus, the resident parking passes are good to use at this location, so that's always good.

Caroline Galluggo

Good park, lots of open space, but water is bacterial and is unsafe to swim

Chirag Jindal

Beautiful view of the city.

Darcy Rickard

Beautiful, love it on a day when you want to be alone and enjoy the surroundings and view

Cristobal Quintanilla

Best Playa

APPARENTLY A LGBT HANGOUT, WHO KNEW, I JUST WENT FOR A PICNIC ;)

Dave Whittaker

Great not to busy citiodits dont know about this beach yet

Kebo Crane

Cozy little park. The water is pretty good, the seaweed is a ways away. So there's plenty of room to swim. It's also right next to Joy's, which is awesome. The bathrooms are putrid though... I'm not sure if anyone's been cleaning them.

Yohan Mahimwala

One of the nicest places in Barrie!

Aros Rod

Very nice park, far away noise

Scott

Great beach! Not too busy!

Patricia Saab

Usually really busy but it is very pretty and a really nice place to see the sunset

Tamare White-Wolf

I love it here n so do my dogs

Rocki Rukman

Good for kids

Cory Bouchard

It's a nice little park and parking lot for kids and lake/bird watching but, I don't recommend coming here in goose season due to the fecal matter they leave in the grass and the beach and, swimming is decent here except the beach sand is stiff and the sand underwater is mushy or rocky in some parts but I'm not picky about the sand so it doesn't bother me. Not too busy overall, most people here are just looking at the bay. Best of all there's ice cream at the nearest bait and tackle, highly recommend it! P.S. Don't come here at night gets pretty "steamy" in the parking lot. ;)

Shawn Rufus

Gross garbage goose poop everywhere.

Gerry van den Oetelaar

Quiet beach, nice if you want a relaxing day, not too crowded like the main beach

Denis Iahnes

Nice area

Robert Eakins

Nearshore too rocky

George Santos

Lovely little spot. The beach looks clean and well taken care of. The water was not as cold as some of the bigger lakes, and there was a very reasonable amount of people - not too many, bot too too little. The playground was in good shape and we had a lot of fun. :)

fps timberguy

Whtch out you will get a ticket

Eiramallets24

Brian Schaffter

Yay

Kym Knudsen

Not crowded. Park for kids. Sandy clean beach.

AFFA Studio

One of the main beaches in Barrie now... still pretty packed...Just smaller. I Love the wildlife in the evening. And a great spot to watch the sunset if you can find a spot to park.

Sandra Reynolds

Love it there, more intimate park

Steve Williams

Nice place for watch lake and relax

Melanie Orr

Beautiful park , nice beach . Lots of grassy area for picnicking too.

Ravinder Batta

It is a small but beautiful park area on Simcoe lake with a small beach area, where one can spend happy time with friends or family. The children can play the sliders and other outdoor games permanently placed over there. In summer one can enjoy the beach and spend time in the waters also. The lake at this end is not at all deep till a considerable distance, so it is safe for children too.

mike cowan

Quite, beautiful

Cody Thomas Allen

awesome park for kids and swimming

Good vibes. A bit busy at times

Brad Underwood

Nice park... great view

Tangari

Clean well maintained. Free parking. Convienant location.

Carptarts

Clean, safe and in a quiet, located in a family oriented neighborhood this park is worth the drive. Not my personal favorite waterfront park in Barrie, but a close second. Unfortunately, it shares a problem the others have as well: crowds and lack of parking due to them.

Paul Mc Farlane

Nice little Beach. In Barrie

Art O

Tiny and quiet. I'm sure that most people won't like it, because there's no action.

Brijesh Khokhar

It is very peaceful place. We can do water activities over there. The water is clear. And also there are some parking spaces where we can park the car.

Eleanor Cordina

Beautiful sunset

Daynard's Awesome Adventures

Used to be my favourite park... its on the street where I live. Far to crowded. Its a shame.

Steven R

This is a beautiful little park.

Michael Mason

Bathrooms are heads and tails better and cleaner then last year!

Tony Nova

Great for kayaks and other small "pleasure craft"

Patrick Gullia

Nothing special

Rachel Hartley

Gorgeous view and relatively quiet in comparison to some of the other beaches around Barrie. I'll definitely be returning. This is a great spot whether it's for a park visit, a place to launch your canoe or kayak, a place to swim, or a place to have a picnic. I can't believe it isn't more popular than it is.

Google User

Watch out for used needles

Joe Price

The sand is rockier than the other beaches but not usually as busy

Beautiful place to visit. You can enjoy the fresh water with your family.

They definitely need a dog place for dogs to swim as well. Especially with all this body of water. Imo

Jason R Sexton

Not huge but a nice little park, view of Barrie across the wayer is nice.

Chris C

Great place for a day of fun and sun, just remember the washrooms are SUPER SKETCHY. Plan accordingly.

John Ferrier

Nice clean swimming area. The limited amount of parking means the beach has just the right amount of ppl

AYUSH .H. RAI

Nice and quite unlike other side of water

金玫Barrie 华人地产经纪 Mei Jin

The park is not big. It's good place to windsurfing and ice fishing.

Frog Hughes

Clean lots of parking

Vadim

I park here for free in winter when ice fishing.

Doug Belanger

I always enjoy grabbing a slushy on a nice day and parking in the lot here. Slurping while a nice breeze blows by, and perhaps taking a little snooze.

Phil Clark

Nice pick nick area. Beach ok for young children.

Tyrone Wheeler

Went for a kayak ride across the lake from this little park. The playground was kind of small, but the whole place has been kept quite clean. It's a shame that you have to pay to park there.

mehmet unal

Quiet corner. Nice place to bring your kids and enjoy the gentle breeze of the lake. Clean beach. Only downside is that it is quite small.

Kristie Snoddon

Always a nice time and experience.

Scott Lewin

One of the most beautiful parks in Barrie. A great view of the city for photography and it is not as crowded a beach. The washrooms are a bit dirty. Only use them if nessisary.

Orlagh Turtle

Lovely sheltered spot. Great place to launch your kayak; for wind surfing and kite surfing

Richard Fernandez

Nice and small beach, great to come on summer and relax

Angela Watkins

Lovely beachfront park with kids play area, lots of shade and washrooms. Fairly large beach and nice grassed areas. A great place to watch kite surfers. Small ice cream store within walking distance.

Stephen Schattin

Nice and clean with a great view. Great place to go on a monday evening to see some Subarus.

Nice little area across Kempenfelt Bay from Barrie. Picnic area and play area for kids. Quiet and a nice view of the Bay.

BoBo Fett

Great little park out of the way from tourists.

Michael Emeny

Clean beach. Clean toilets. Not a lot of parking but definitely tons of character! The park was fun for the girls and the water had them chilled out nicely. The sun wasn't too bad and the shade available wasn't being taken up too much by anyone. All around good park to visit with friends and family.

Marco Camparsi

Love it here, not as busy, peaceful, has kids playground and lots of parking.

They have put big rocks in the way of the wind surfer. I sit down there by the hours to watch them . BARRIE U SUCK

Joel Hartley

Great beach. We arrived for a birthday party on a cool summer's day but after a kick of a soccer on the secluded, quiet beach and game of grounders on the playground, we warmed right up. The sun had shown itself and we enjoyed a quick swim in the part sand, part rock pebble beach. It made for a really nice day out. It's quieter than many of the other beaches an parks around Kempenfelt bay, which was great for us. The parking is 24/7 paid which is less than ideal for a secluded quiet spot although didn't detract from the great location for us. Highly recommend!

Jason DeValadares

I'm only giving this 4 stars because I only came here in the winter... for ice fishing. Theres a section that you can walk through with your pulling sled and a decent amount of parking if you dont have a trailer. If you have a trailer... dont be that guy. Oh and ducks! Man, so many ducks quaking around! Will wake you up! Plus theres a dude who sells minnows just outside the parking lot. Not in a shady way... like theres a store there... that sells minnows. I mean he probably sells other stuff too, I never went in. What I'm trying to say is these are NOT illegal minnows... I dont think. Barrie takes care of their anglers. Love you guys.... but in an appropriate way. Dont flag this review as suggestive... ok fine. I just LIKE you guys... as friends.

Jim Canning

Peaceful little park to watch or windsurf

Cathy O'Connor

Lovely little park. Unfortunately it does not allow dogs. I could get my service dog in it, but don't want the aggro from people who don't realize service dogs are exempt.

Leon Romeo

Great But cool

Astrid lei

In the middle of the week it's quiet here and peaceful and the ducks come up to u, the sand is a bit rough and in the water the sand is mushy in spots and has weeds, seems like a lot of people paddleboard here and bring their kayaks!

Danielle May

Wonderful place to relax, walk, sup, or a playground.

Some Dude

Attention travellers from the Greater Toronto Area. The cost of parking your car here is at a rate of $10/hour.

Olivia Stewart

Popular with families. The beach is rocky and there are lots of weeds in the water past the buoy line. Nice beach to come and watch the water, though. Always parking available, and it’s not overly crowded like Centennial beach is.

Rodrigo Cunha (CUNHA FIX IT)

Nice little park, ok beach.

David Tamachi

Great low key small beach area for little ones. We went for approx 4 days over a 7 day week and had no issue with having a spot and room beside you. On windy days you can watch windsurfing, thought was was interesting to do on a rainy day.

David Haycock

Another great place to watch the sun kiss the day goodbye.

Brill Pappin

Nice park, although I dislike having to dodge dog gifts. Some folks have no respect.

CANADN!!!

Awesome beach and park

Amanda Dearborn

Lovely little spot. Not too crowded.

tony morra

Quiet with great views

Caran Hurst

Good! 3$ parking tho! A tad pricey, beach is only appropriate for young children and extremely shelly/Rocky ground. Very easy to get hurt

Andy Daviau

Great for launching kayaks.

Peter Hodgins

Beautiful small park and beach on Lake Simcoe. Well maintained and clean.

Aeroseal Tech

Great place to spend a day with kids and family.

Penguin King jay

beautiful ????

Sybil Waddington

Tends to get very busy, but worth it for the park. It can keep the kids busy for some time, plus the run from the equipment to the water isn't far - so you can sit somewhere in the middle and safely keep an eye on your kiddos.

Lucia Perrett

Great place to take your kids

Tasha M.

Lots of shade during the morning, wide beach front to accommodate groups of people, great park!

Roma Shmedryk

Great place for kids. Has a playground and shallow water

Meeyoung chun

Good place

Chris Evans

Excellent birding here, particularly for winter water birds. The main problem is that there is only one chemical privy open in the fall/winter/spring.

Michele Miller

Beautiful and great view

Less crowded than Centennial Park ..... with a little side area suitable for dogs

Mary Ann Chrysdale

Always something going on ..great view of water..

Julie Dunn

Beautiful park with beach and water front

Alice Ellerby

such a pretty park - very peaceful

Alison Morrison

Nice Park off the beaten path. It's nice during the off times because it's small , has a small waterfront beach and has a park climber for young children so you can see them from wherever you are sitting. However because it's so small it would be nice if people did not let their do off leash.

Jared Perrow

nice beach with a great view

Elena Murchison

It's a beautiful place to take the family. Unfortunately the grounds were very dirty with cigarettes buds and birds poo. The washrooms were disgusting.

Stephanie P

One of our favourite spots in Barrie to paddle from

Kathy Earhart

Lots of young adults use parking lot to meet up with their loud cars. It's quite scary at times.

Carl Williams

Nice park for kids on the lake

Great place to go at night, you can even go with friends and drink in the parking lot or something, I don't care what you do I'm not your therapist ????????‍♂️

Teresa Oman

beautiful place to relax

Raymond

Went while the lake was frozen. Lots of people ice fishing and skating. Nice walk by the lake of walking on top of the ice isn’t your forté

Zee Awesome

Really nice place... Nice beach, playground for kids and good place for swimming.

Patrick Jackson

Great spot for birding

Kyle Letheten

It nice place ya

Cameron Blair

Took our teens to minets point for a swim and BBQ. Great beach and quite a few picnic tables. Lots of goose poop but nothing can be done about this. However something can be done about the disgusting washrooms, they were dirty and smelt like urine, especially the men's. Don't know the cleaning schedule but it musn't be very often. With concrete floors in there I would hope they use a pressure washer several times a day but with the smell I'm thinking not. It is comparable to the equally disgusting washrooms at centennial park. With the amount of people in and out of both places perhaps they could be cleaned better.

Andrew Duffett

Great launching point for kayaks , parking shouldn't be so much though

NS

Great little beach and usually quieter then Kempenfelt.

Nasim Khodaei

It is very good place to go.

Alyssa Rinker

Just not a big fan of the rocks or goose poop, but otherwise great place, park and beach, close parking, lots of shade :)

amin mamani

Celebrated my grand nephew birthday. Not over crowded and a small beach for kids to frolic in the water. Tables available

Marie Carter

This area is fantastic, so much to do , Great choices,to eat,shop, kite sking not far away, boating and many more things to enjoy with. Place where you can camp, a round Barrie waterfront.

Shannon Murray

We love this park but the beach front is pretty rocky so remember to bring your water shoes!

graz fa

peaceful, windy. park for the kids to play, good parking.

Diane Rodgers

Love sitting there looking over the lake having a coffee.

Sandy Ly

Great beach except for bird poop everywhere.

Jennifer Dunbar

Peaceful space near the city

Jose Martinez

Great little beach. Nice and clean

Ahmad AlShami

Small area with a parking (paid) .. unless you have Barrie resident pass.. it is suitable for families with children as it has a very small playground

Lindsay Smith

I sit here and read occasionally while on a break from work. Beautiful view.

M Hurlburt

Beautiful little park right on the water of Lake Simcoe in the city of Barrie. Fun little playground for younger kids. There are several picnic tables and parking for about 30 cars. The beach is a little pebbly, not really sand but still swimable. Not the nicest park in Barrie but definitely a quieter gem coveted by the locals.

Lin Kirchhoff

Great small lake side park, kids friendly with relative clean sands and water to play with. Try to avoid high traffic times of clouds of people. Best time earlier morning.

Spring Copegog

Nice place to sit n think or take ya kids to the parm

Susan Vainer

Scenery is just beautiful.

Jacques Labranche

A wonderful place and good food too.

Raul Casal

Great little beach park on the south shore of Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie. Equipped with a nice playground for the kids, some picnic benches and a small beach that overlooks downtown Barrie. A wonderful place to enjoy your morning coffee, a lazy afternoon or a beautiful sunset over the Barrie Skyline. A small store around the corner sells snacks, drinks, ice cream and of course worms/bait. In the winter it's a great place to walk out on Lake Simcoe (some even drive) for excellent ice fishing. Parking is not free...approx. $3 per hour. Enjoy.

sungbae kong

Too expensive for parking 10$/hour omg It is more expensive than Toronto downtown

Jason Boutot

Get there early for a good parking spot.

Sarah Double

This park is great pretty much any season except winter! There are flush washrooms open during daylight hours May-October, and a port-a-potty during winter. (Though the city might want to rethink that, as the port-a-potty had snow inside it when we were there this winter) The play structure and beach are clean and in good repair. There's an area to get small boats/windsurfing boards intl the water, a little grassy area ideal for picnics or soccer, lots of parking for the small size of the park. No dogs allowed, so not ideal for pet owners. Great park with beautiful waterfront views!

Jason Davis

Great small beach! Great play park.

BRIAN ABRAHAM

It's beautiful by and day looking on the city of Barrie

David Brown

Scenic.

Marcin Polanski

Nice and clean little beach with a playground

Way too crowded

Corné Wiese du Plessis

Nice beach

Poui-ling A. Khouathip

Bring water shoes. Very rocky. But really nice beach and calm. We will definitely return. Also, if its still covid, be prepared to get a ticket if you are not a resident. We didnt mind as we just considered it a "entry fee"

Shaun

Small beach. Parking is small. Kids playground. Lots of kite boarders here to watch. Nice view of Barrie or sunsets.

Scott Roy

Nice view. Ice cream close by.

Steve Penny

Nice place relaxing lots of windsurfers beautiful View of Barrie

Christopher Duckett

Definitely a nice little beach and play park. It's not very big, but it is quite charming. There isn't much nearby, save for a cute little ice cream shop and a quiet residential area, but if you're looking for a place to relax, away from the hustle and bustle of Centennial Beach and downtown Barrie, this is a good place to check out. There are public restrooms here, as well as a playground for the kids and a short sandy beach. No pets allowed on the beach, but dogs on a leash are ok in the park.

Elizabeth Hose

Lots going on. We sit in our chairs and watch the activities.

Micheal Grant

Excellent view

Shrut Shah

Very good place to hangout

Cheryl Wright

Great place to watch activities on the bay

John Murdock

Quiet good parking. Clran washrooms. Kids playground sandy beach roped off.

Fraser Atkinson

Great beach on the Bay

Tim Finamore

Beautiful park for the local community. Far enough away from Barrie's main beaches to be able to relax. No lifeguards, so swim at your own risk. But there is a roped off section. The floor of the lake is quite rocky here, I would recommend water shoes for safety and comfort.

Diane Tyler

Lovely tiny park with a great view.

Bruce Askey

Great view and location for everything outdoorize. Lol

Kirk Wall

Minet's Point is a nice location to visit in the Summer. There is the beach, picnic benches, and a park for kids to play. The winter time is not as spectacular.

Luis Carlos Suárez Pestana

Nice plaza

Gregory McKinnon

Beautiful view of downtown barrie

Jennifer Parker

Usually quiet, but not during ice fishing season. Pleasantly close by water/ice.

Robert Powell

My wife and I just wanted a quiet place to eat our take out dinner...thought it would be nice.sit and look at the water...we were disappointed that there was a 10.00 fee just to park and that there were hedges planted to obstruct the view to the water from the parking lot.

This is a nice small park and beach. Has 5 picnic benches. Too many loonies though during summer.

Love it here, water is rocky and seaweed. Park is fun! Lots of shade.

Love coming to this beach in Barrie. Typically quite quiet in comparison to how busy Centennial Beach can be. There is a play area for kids and a significant sized sand beach to catch some rays on! My family and I always paddleboard out from this beach since the water is quite calm.

Serhat KARLI

Quiet and beautiful place

Vitaliy Meremyanin

Lots of shade and picnic space, good playground for the kids, the beach is sandy but the shore is stoney and the water is not that clean.

Manjeet VIRK

Always happy to come here and relax while enjoying the nice city view on the otherside of the lake.

I know everyone has concerns about goose poo on the beach so bringing a rake (if you arrive early) is key. Minet's really does have the best sunset with a playground in very close proximity to the small beach. This is also a great area to watch windsurfers. The kids will be inspired!! Enjoy!

June Hinkson

Very shadey and serine.
