Toronto Island Park

Toronto Island Park is the car-free archipelago you reach from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal at 9 Queens Quay West. City ferries run year-round: three routes (Centre Island, Hanlan’s Point, Ward’s Island) on the summer schedule through 15 September 2026, then a reduced fall month, then winter service to Ward’s only. Tickets are required even when a free-travel offer is on — get one before you line up. Peak waits (often 30–60 minutes) run 10 a.m.–3 p.m. outbound and 5–9 p.m. back; go earlier or later. Pack a picnic; the Centre Island terminal food is the tourist default, not the point. Rent a bike or bring one to move between Ward’s cottages, Centre’s lawns, and Hanlan’s Point. Last Centre boat on the summer board is 11:30 p.m. from the city / 11:45 p.m. off the island — confirm toronto.ca the day you go.
