Review from Myrem D.
Mississauga, ON
7/4/2011 6 photos
For any sort of activity an individual/group needs is offered by Erindale Park. Easily the largest park in the city of Mississauga. Accommodating to sports playing groups, tanning divas, picnickers , joggers, fishing lovers, mothers walking with strollers, Toboggans hills and much much more.
Fellow hikers: Only a few main trails with very predictable routes. This is a fun place to go if you are looking for fast variety. You get fast downhill, grueling steep climbs, super fast single track, few extreme technical twists and an excellent warm-up and cool-down rides.
Fellow Joggers : can't help ya here. I hate jogging.
Fellow picnicker's - No need to bring your own BBQ, the picnic section have installed BBQ's and benches for large groups. There's 1 section to the far right, after you cross the bridge with a bbq, benches seating up to 50+people with a roof over (in case of rain etc).
The portion of the lake is very busy with fishing fanatics. It's fun to walk alongside the path to see who catches the most :p .
On the far right end, the path is the main land and flat for mothers with strollers and joggers/calm or steadfast walkers.
NOTE: ** if you are part of the Geocaching community there is a hidden box on the middle uphill singletrack fast trail.
For those who don't know what GeoC is and love to hike:
** Geo caching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunting game. Players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using GPS-enabled devices and then share their experiences online on http://www.geocaching.com
happy hunting ;)

In a city that is known for its four-lane swaths of asphalt slicing up the city, copy-paste subdivisions, gel-topped guys who say "safe," gargantuan shopping malls, a mayor as old as time itself, and one-hour bus rides on MT (no matter what the destination), lies this quiet oasis away from it all.
Erindale Park is located near Dundas and Missisauga road. It hugs the University of Toronto's Missisauga Campus (formerly Erindale Campus) and is a stone's throw away from the Mississauga golf and country club. The park is bifurcated by the Credit River which lends to the spectacular natural beauty of this place. You almost forget you're in a city populated almost entirely by customized Honda Civics and urban sprawl.
I think it's a great place for a jog, a picnic, or "a wander" with a digital SLR. There are also built in BBQs for your convenience. And of course, because it's in Mississauga, there is a massive parking lot greeting you as you enter. Hurray!
Obligatory Title Pun: Take a walk in the PARK!
Menu Readability: Ain't no menus up in here.
Need to mention: I wanted the FTR for this place but Myrem D beat me to it. To make it worse, her review is excellent.
What this place teaches me about myself: Just playing, I love you Mississauga.Listed in: Mastering Missisauga, PARK your keester, meester!
