Milton Perez

Must beautiful place in Barrie

Alex Pomeransky

This is such an amazing park! We used to visit with my family every weekend. It was a bit of a drive but definitely worth it. Great place to swim and have a picnic. The lake is so beautiful and the view is so scenic. Theres also many places to just walk around. Great place overall!

Guilherme Barbosa

Perfect beach and park

Moisés Vanin

Great beach. Good structure

Tarik Awad

It is barrie and the beauty

Johanna C

Nice park for the kids and beach area. Lots of big trees for shade and has a washroom. Not alot of parking since its not the main beach like centennial beach. But people come and go all the time so your likely get a spot if you wait.

matthew mowatt

Rethink Inc

Nice little beach

Konstantin Zavgorodniy

Roy M

Good for paddle boarding

Gavin Doran

Great open space. Love the houses around here. Great for the kids and dog

Scott Webb

nice park, good vball courts & nice sand beach

Paul Griffin

Great park. Gets really busy though. Parking is a problem, cars end up lining the drive way and even the road leading up to the park. A great big covered gazebo, clean beach, washroom facilities, volleyball, and lots of grass to spread out on. Go early to get the best spots both in the park and parking lot though

Marcos Borges

Nice beach with good shadow areas to barbecue and clear water. Quite small but usually calm.

오코

Silence and beauty view

Pippa Drought

Good food, fabulous service.

Tony Quigley

Beautiful park in Barrie

Aros Rod

Beautiful park with a small beach and a playground. You can see lot of birds and beautiful green areas. Nice view of Kempenfelt bay and Oro Medonte lakeside. The best feature: it is far away of the hustle and bustle of Barrie downtown lakeshore

Cheryl Stewart

Great park

Darton Ramjass

Beach and picnic area was clean and not too crowded. A brand new park has been built but can't be used right now due to covid.

Azaeal K

Small beach that is like the rest of Barrie beaches, not oriented to families with pets. Has sign that says no dogs and just below a sign that poop and scoop. Make up your mind.

Kim Doucette (Kimburlee)

I love coming to that s park. But there is a lot of bugs. Other then that its a great park. There's also public washrooms

Haji Syed Hassan

Good place for small family gathering. Parking is expensive. $10/hour.

Humberto Domingues

Quiet, close to home. a lot of Duck Poop. :-)

KARAN SHAH

Small but good beach. Not kids friendly and parking charges are 10$ per hour. Very small parking are even if you wanted to pay.

Katia S

Great little beach. Nice park to go for a day.

BBQ ✅ Tables ✅ Park for kids ✅ Beach ✅ Washrooms ✅ Parking area ✅ (10$ per hours)

Alan Storrier

The new park is great ..well done !!!

Shaun Moon

An excellent place to go swim, picnic or even play on a zipline with the kids.

Behrooz Kashani

Very beautiful park

Shaniel Anderson

Very nice area, my kids love it!! The opportunity to play in the water and also the park is a win for this area.

Kate Kraversky

Nice park that is popular among locals with a small beach, two volleyball fields, lots of tall trees with shade and a pavilion in case it rains. There are also amenities. Barbecues are allowed in the park. You can park a car on the paid parking (free for Barrie residents), or just up the street 200 meters away and take a short walk from there.

Angela Greavette

Enjoy this park a lot. It is normally quiet during the week which is the best time to go. The weekends are really busy. You have to pay for parking unless you are a resident, it is free but you have to have a parking pass.

Maryam Talaghi

Clean, a little small with limited parking. You can park in close streets without paying 20$ for parking. Lake is beautiful and clean.

Victoria Kim

Very nice area with the children playground, bbq area and beach, volleyball playground. $10 parking fee for visitors, the only drawback is the parking lot is quite small, so you have to make sure arrive early to get your spot.

Allan Aistrop

Recluse

Heather Pimbert

Great gazebo for many activities

Rihanna

Peacefull beach

Anna Kanshina

Wonderful small park by Simco

Carptarts

I live on the other side of the Bay, closer to Johnson's beach(ten minute walk), but I'll come here everytime. Why? More trees to find shade under. Bigger park area. Kids playground. Volleyball courts, if that's your thing Children's day camps use this park regularly. It's really, really clean and ..governed by the same bylaws that Johnson's beach is, of particular note are: No smoking, no vaping, no cooking, no dogs and no alcohol. In this park, it seems rare to witness any of these things. At Johnson's, you'll see one of not more of these things (especially dogs, smoking and vaping) multiple times a day. Come take a look, this place is a hidden gem.

Romailin Mejia

One of the nicer place I have ever been, quite, clean and perfect for children and families, I'm sure I will visit there again with my little ones ????

Jonathan Catania

Nice park, open space, waterfront. Have to pay for parking.

Smoke One (Smoke)

Awesome park for kids and great beach area in the back! All around awesome spot.

Amanda MacDonald

Love this park, great area for a swim away from the main beach, has a park as well as a picnic table area.

Em Fo

Great park with lots of green space, but the parking lot size doesn't accommodate the size and amenities of the park/beach. Bylaw enforcement is frequent.

Joseph Aron

I really like this park as it's great to have family picnics. It's right by the water and there is also a little park at for the kids to play. The only thing is, you need to get here very early in the morning to find a decent spot. Having said that, parking can also be a very big challenge especially if you get there after 10 a. M. I would definitely recommend this place just make sure to get here early.

Kendy G

Not overly busy, small place.

Hannah Fry

Always a great place to go! One of the beaches in barrie that is still not known about! Friendly people, park, city provided bbqs, bathrooms, great place to bring the family!

Melissa Rutledge

Awesome park. Lots of trees and picnic space. Beach on site too

AD3K

The weekends are quite busy but the true beauty of this park shows itself in the mornings or weekdays. Very calm and scenic. The one draw back is the parking - you're better off not paying and risk getting a 30 dollar ticket than paying 10$ per hour.

charles omere

Loved it.

JB Job

Very Lovely

Prajnesh Yajnik

Nice remote beach on lake Simcoe

Google User

Nice park but very crowded at times

Rocio Lizarraga

Love it!

Joe Price

The new park here is really nice and well done.

Rajat Kural

Perfect place to take your kids. The play park seems well-maintained and has decent swings/slides. Has a beach too, which is awesome Although I do wish adults acted responsible and didn't consume alcohol in tumblers, like bruh it's pretty clear what you doing

Jasmine

Great waterfront spot - much less busy than Lakeshore area

Melvyn Hiscock

Smaller park with covered Pavilion (no walls) containing picnic tables only, play equipment for children and beach with cordoned off swimming area, more tables on the open grass (beware of goose droppings), an accessible, clean public washroom, and a large parking lot.

S K

Beautiful park and a great place for family barbecues. The water was lovely and the park is lots of fun

Frank Scully

Well equipped, and recently updated, for the whole family!

Julian Tamburro

Beautiful park with all sorts of activities (playground, volleyball nets). Lots of space for big gatherings/picnics, also extremely clean which was nice to see.

Lindon W

Very nice playground for the kids, new equipment, convenient parking, etc.

Aida Kazimi

Peaceful place

Gordon Munro

Small beach nice but rocky bottom. Small parking, if not a resident, you will be tagged..

Natasha Fagin

Very nice beach, one thing - there are stones in the lake, probably better to wear shoes (crocs or special shoes for water)

Angela Watkins

Great park with lots of shade, washrooms, family changing rooms and a gazebo. Plenty of picnic tables and benches. A decent sized kids play area, volleyball court, grassed areas and a shallow beach with designated swimming area. Parking lot fills up quickly.

Grigori Bouzilo

(Translated) Beach in sharp stones, nephew cut his leg to blood. The playground was not closed, and a girl of 7 years from the tournament fell to the tip and tore her leg muscle until a bone was visible. They called an ambulance and took the girl to the hospital. So, there was nothing PLEASANT ...)) (Original) Пляж в острых камнях, племянник порезал до крови ногу. Детская площадка была не закрыта, и девочка 7 лет с турнира упала на острие и разорвала мышцу ноги до того что, была видна кость . Вызвали скорую и девочку забрали в больницу.Так что, ничего там ПРИЯТНОГО небыло...))

Diana Perrier

Love it there

Givealittlelife

Love this beach

Nathan Karding

Good view of the lake

Kate Rinka

Lots of people Small parking

Saba Aziz

I liked this place it was a nice small park where you can enjoy the great view.

Marcella Pessanha

Great park to play volleyball, barbecuing with friends and family. The water is cold, but you can jump in.

Tim Lahn

Nice park! The only downside is that your have to pay for parking.

Kennith James

Water was nice but cool a norm for this time of year. Rocky shoreline so mind the toes.

Roman Protasov

Great cozy park

Mikael Polo

Best beach in Barrie

Elizabeth Smith

Clean and lots of parking

Kat Riccardi

Small beach with limited parking. Go early. Beach is on the decline so may be hard for people who may have difficulty walking.

Amanda Smith

Great playground, fantastic swimming area (shallow enough for young kids, clearly marked areas). Lots of shade if you like it, or sun if that’s what you prefer. Great volleyball courts. The only issue is that the parking lot spots are limited and not clearly marked. Hopefully the city can rectify that.

Al Parker

Beautiful

Jayy B

Awesome view of the city

DANKMER

Don't go on a weekend.. unless you enjoy highly over crowded areas and city scum

M C

What a great park so quiet

Armin Kamfiroozie

A great beach to spend your weekend in. BBQ or tent is not permitted sure to Covid 19, Parking lot is $10 per hour.

Oleksandra Dramova

Great in spring and fall but stay away in the summer, becomes very crowded

Sina Okhovat

Nice park with a nice beach. Highly recommend wearing sea shoes.

Deryk Piper

Nice airy location. The beach is nice but very rocky underfoot. The nearby park structure is great for the kids, especially the zipline! Could use more parking for busy weekends though, and be sure not to park on the grass - the city will ticket you even though part of the parking lot appears to extend to the grass.

Heather Halpin

Great beach, great park, parking can be a pain

Debra Scott

Lots for kids to do.

Louisa Szymanski

Nice park. I used to come here for Earth camp as a kid, and I have positive memories. It has a nice little beach and a good play structure.

Felisha Ali

Nice area with lots of space to play. I gave 3 stars because the facilities (washrooms) were really dirty.

Hetal Parikh

Beautiful place, right on the Lake Simcoe and water is accessible in small portion. There were very few people when we visited last weekend.

Jennifer McAfee

We love Tyndale park. It has a beautiful view of Kempenfelt Bay and a brand new playground. My kids loved the new equipment.

Sybil Waddington

Always lovely scenery with the lake to look over.

Josh and Alex Sherlock

Small park great waterfront and playground

Jocelyn Marshall

it was a very nice trip. there was a lot of garbage like cigarettes buds all over tho.

Roma Shmedryk

Great park and brand new, awesome playground for kids!

MrHomebrew (Leonidas)

Interesting location for a picnic or just to take a view of the water

Habib Khan

Very small park. Often crowded with almost no physical distancing. The pay parking is suspended for the time being but only Barrie residents can park for free. Outsiders get a parking fine unless parked outside of the park. Good view of the lake though. Definitely NOT WORTH going for a walk, run or a ride.

Chris Evans

Excellent birding here, particularly for winter water birds. The main problems are that non-residents of Barrie must pay exhorbitant prices for parking and there are no washroom facilities open in the fall/winter/spring. In the summer the city sets off loud bangs to scare away Canada Geese.

Alla Tsipis

Came for a few hours, paid $30 parking and got fined for parking on the grass. There were no other parking left and a few more cars were already parked there. There is no sign or warning about parking on the grass. City of Barrie just taking advantage of people who want to spend time outside. It is ridiculous. I pay enough property taxes and it is not my fault my city doesn’t have a beach. Shame of you city of Barrie!!!

Lawrence Horton

Lots of space to run around, huge playground, my kids loved it.

trevor giggey

Nice park and beach is less crowded than centennial.

Michael Bastien

Great little beach with shaded areas. Also, washroom are open.

john musicco

Beautiful

Melissa Bernier

Tyndale is a beautiful park with a great beach. Perfect for a picnic and a day in the sun. There is very limited parking and be sure to display your pass or pay for your parking or you will get a ticket. The beach volleyball courts are well maintained as well.

Jenny Holland

Really beautiful park and beach but unfortunately theres tons of rocks in the water which makes it painful to walk in.

Marion Farrugia

Quiet getaway spot not far from Kempenfeld. Nice little beach.

Michael Amdur

Great small park to do bbq or picnic with the whole family. Has a nice small beach and a playground. Perfect for kids. My only advice is to come before 12 as the park gets full pretty fast after that, so its hard to find parking and a picnic table.

robert cadden

Needs more parking but nice park

Zarhra Ghaedrahmat

(Translated) it was good (Original) خوب بود

Brennen Gray

Awesome park. Need to pay for parking unless you're a resident. Lots of equipment and stuff to do.

Jake Vanderkooy

By-law officer hangs around and makes most people feel uncomfortable. Also $10 per hour parking which is outrageous.

Rana Hassan Khurshid

Small neat and clean park, not super busy. Parking is quite expensive, 10$ per hour. I really like the beach, specially for families with small kids.

Tanya Zafar

Beautiful place with a beach, a playground, washrooms. Great place for picnics and BBQs. There's a volleyball ground too. Parking is a bit tight but is available.

Jack Norton

Quiet, friendly and safe enviroment. Small swim area but alot cleaner then centenial.

Xia Lin

Would recommend more trees around the area

Kyle Letheten

Cute place

Pranali Parikh

Spacious, great place for an afternoon of reading and playing in the water

Joselia Pereira

Excellent for kids!!!

Theresa Custodio

One of our favorite parks in Barrie. Greatsized park for all ages, beach volley ball courts and beach.

Veronika Soun

Small clean beach and park, away from hustle and bustle of city beach. Change rooms and washrooms available. No guard in duty. Plenty of greenery and shade. Perfect for picnic.

Robert Ludwig

Really nice park in the south west part of Barrie we went kayaking off the beach.

Nicolas Quesnel

Very nice beach volleyball courts with backstops so you aren't running for your ball after a nice spike play

Star Viewer

Great water and nice park. Parking is a problem .

Лилия Ковалева

Expensive parking

marina kuperman

Nice beach, though a lot of rocks in the water

Vladimir Georgievsky

Great renovated park, nice playground, yet bad experience: We came to visit on July 1st and were the first two cars to show up. 1. The parking meter did not work, was dark and was not responding to anything, bylaw phone number on it was advising that it is a holiday, so we went to the beach and had some fun with the kids. We both got parking violation tickets 100$ each. We did send a dispute and I got a voicemail on Saturday that my case was investigated and the meter was found working. Whatever. 2. There were some grilles installed but locked with chains so we took our own small grille and right after getting some meat on it were told that we cannot use our own grille (??) on a dedicated grille area (??) and we will be ticketed… great! The area is there… but no - do not use it! Or you will be fined! Why would you want to use a grille in the grille area at a park on a holiday??! Whatever. Great job City Of Barrie. Whoever is responsible for managing this asset - you guys are terrible at it. I will definitely look for alternatives.

Denise White

Clean and child friendly

James Hudgins

Great park

Saima Merchant (Saima)

Clean and nice

Jennifer Barton

Fun place since they changed the playground :) much more equipment to play on ! And of course the beach is convenient aswell being so close ???? you can play and tan all at the same time .

Shaun

Can be hard to park on a weekend. But it is a nice family park. Good beach but small.

Katie Bennett

Great little beach and park. Only wish the washrooms were open later into the season.

Serena Davidson

Great park! Beach was quiet considering it was a beautiful weekend.

Danny A

Nice place, the only downside is that stupid covid 19 rules about sun umbrellas and tents

Jodes Bosse

Clean and beautiful

Chantel Cook

Private like beach. Clean.washrooms on site. Pavillion for events. Decent playground for kids.

Kirk Wall

At the time we went on a mid morning on Saturday it was nice and quiet. Beautiful well kept park by the lake. Has a covered structure there that seems like the space can be rented from the city for events.

George Camilleri

I would not go here again. The beach area is very small and the parking is ridiculously overpriced. At $10 per hour and a $50 maximum for parking, this beach is a no. Water is all rocks; therefore, make sure to bring beach shoes.

Helen Mahy

$10. Per hr to park!!! Terrible

Bill wright

Great little hidden gem. Beautiful small park.

Vipul Virani

Small play area and beach but nice place away from downtown.

Michelle Lund

Beautiful and clean water to swim in, sandy beach, huge playground, lots of well kept grass, moveable picnic tables, trees for shade, clean bathrooms and sand volleyball courts. Even the geese were well behaved.

G Graham

Just gorgeous Great Park for the family

Anna Gillespie

Water and Beach area clean and fun place to be

Terry Richards

Quiet beach large opensided shelter

B Magnante

Nice place to go.

Jordan Brown

best park!

jennifer Ortega

Nice park. Although the bathrooms are DISCUSTING to say the least. They should really change the toilets. I made me nauseous to have my kid sitting on one of those filty toilets seats. Everything in there was absolutely dirty.. But my kid really needed to use it so no choice.

Samina K

Lovely park. Although the beach is quite small. Not good for swimming.

Mark Gillanders

City residents can park for free here with parking pass and out of town visitors must pay. Nice views from some areas as well as good picnic spots. Unfortunately no BBQ'ing. The grassy area of this park is well above the water level unlike Minets point beach which is about a 5 minute drive from Tyndale.

Stephanie Sinopoli

One of my favorite spots in barrie

Joanne T

Nice quiet beach. Large covered area for picnics

usman ali Dar

nice place for family and bbq

Bert Delaquis

A very nice park with a private beach feel to it.

Gregory Hanson

Nice quiet park area with playground for kids and a large covered gazebo area. Good lakefront views.

Ron Danino

Beautiful, a bit too many rocks underwater

Aleya Wight

Nice clean park

Vera Berezovski

Nice park but parking for not Barrie resident is 10 $ per hour! It's crazy!

Qi Zhang

Perfect for small kids, but nowhere to park for non permit holder or $10/hr.
