The Heart of Burlington’s Beautiful Waterfront.
Spencer Smith Park is the vibrant centerpiece of Burlington’s scenic waterfront, drawing visitors year-round with its panoramic lake views, landscaped gardens, and lively public events. Located along the shores of Lake Ontario, this beautifully maintained park is one of the city’s most popular gathering spots for relaxation, recreation, and community celebrations.
The park’s open green spaces, wide promenades, and waterfront trails make it ideal for walking, cycling, or simply enjoying a peaceful lakeside stroll. The Brant Street Pier, extending gracefully into the lake, provides a perfect vantage point for viewing Burlington’s skyline and the surrounding waters — especially at sunrise and sunset. Spencer Smith Park also serves as the venue for several of Burlington’s largest annual events, including the Sound of Music Festival, Canada’s Largest Ribfest, and various cultural and holiday celebrations. During summer, the park comes alive with live music, food stalls, and family activities, while in winter, it offers a serene landscape of icy waters and snow-dusted pathways.
With its combination of natural beauty and urban charm, Spencer Smith Park is an ideal destination for families, couples, and anyone looking to enjoy Burlington’s waterfront. Whether for a picnic, a festival, or a quiet walk by the lake, the park perfectly embodies the city’s welcoming spirit and lakeside lifestyle.
