Humber Bay Park West

Part of a network of small peninsulas stretching out into Lake Ontario, Humber Bay Park West is a beautiful spot on the city's waterfront. The rocky beach is a very popular scuba diving site, especially with beginners. Trails behind the beach make for a good walking and bicycle route. This side of Humber Park is home to a few boating clubs and docks, which means it has slightly less green space than its Eastern counterpart.

Although a variety of recreational activities takes place in the water here, water quality at Humber Bay Park is currently unmonitored by the City of Toronto. Water quality concerns at this site are tied to its close proximity to the Humber Wastewater Treatment Plant.

A small group of trained community scientists is undertaking weekly sampling on Thursdays. Results are posted to the Swim Guide on Friday afternoons. These citizen scientists are a part of the Toronto Community Based Water Monitoring Hub. You can access the detailed open data files for this location here: https://www.recreationalwater.ca/toronto
