Spencer Smith Park
訪問に最適な時期
Visit at sunset from May through September, when the sky turns orange over the lake and the day's crowds have thinned out. Weekday mornings offer the calmest water for reflections from the pier before the summer heat builds.
予算のヒント
The park is free to enter every day of the year, and so are the June Sound of Music Festival and the July children's festival. Pack a picnic and bring your own drinks to skip the pricey seasonal patio and food-truck markups.
おすすめ対象
Families, Photography enthusiasts, Sunset chasers, Festival goers
訪問時間の計画
2-3 hours
概要
クイックファクト: 毎年6月、カナダ最古の無料音楽フェスティバル「サウンド・オブ・ミュージック」に、およそ15万人がこの芝生に集まります。オンタリオ湖の湖畔1.5キロメートルに広がるこの公園は、曲線を描く100メートルの桟橋と、毎年春と秋に植え替えられる庭園を備えています。
見どころ: 100メートルの桟橋はその先端が沈む太陽を指すように湾曲し、波しぶきは高く舞い上がって、暑い午後には涼をとらせてくれます。晴れた夕べには、貨物船が港の入り口をすべるように通り過ぎ、空が燃え上がるなか、オレンジ色の光が水面に広がります。
インサイダーヒント
- Claim a spot on the west end of the pier about 45 minutes before sunset to watch the sky shift color without the crowd.
- Wear shoes you can slip off, the shallow water near the shore warms up fast in July and wading is half the fun.
- Skip busy Saturday afternoons in summer when festival traffic clogs the parking lots, and come on weekday mornings instead.
- The playground and splash pad sit at the north end, so families with kids can park there and avoid trekking the full 1.5-kilometer promenade.
