Port Credit Memorial Park in Mississauga

I haven’t been to Mississauga for awhile and I decided to try a lakefront park since the weather has been so nice. Before coming I didn’t realize I had been here before! It was long, long ago before I had kids, and I remember my hubby and I walking around the Snug Harbour restaurant area. I didn’t realize there was a playground on the north side of Lakeshore, but then again, we weren’t looking for playgrounds at that time!

Port Credit Memorial is a beautiful and big park with a playground, gazebo, picnic areas, basketball nets, multi-use skate park, and an inlet (Credit river) where you can see people fishing for carp and kayaking, and watch ducks swimming about. Bring bread to feed them and you might attract a crowd of ducks, geese and we also saw a swan!

There’s lots of parking at the Port Credit Memorial Arena at 40 Stavebank Road N, or the Port Credit Library at 20 Lakeshore Rd. E. (just south of the arena).  The play structure is big for toddlers but there are baby swings, bouncy fish, lots of play walls including a fire truck, and the play structure does have a ramp that my little guy had fun walking up and down, and up and down, and up and down….

Here are a ton of photos from our trip out. Click on a photo and see the slideshow at your own pace. Enjoy

Lots of parking at the Port Credit Memorial Arena or use the library lot (3 hours max) just south of the arena and also bordering the park.

Basketball nets right next to the arena parking lot

Playground between the library and the arena.

Gazebo in the centre of the park

This inlet is west of the playground where you can find people kayaking and fishing.

Go south under the bridge (or take the steps over the bridge if you don't have a stroller).

Artwork under the bridge :)

You'll find ducks and geese here (bring some bread to feed them).

My little guy watching the ducks.

From under the bridge the path continues to the waterfront.

Can't go very far but you can take a rest on a bench, chill out and watch the birds, ducks and swans (if you're lucky).

Free at last!!! (I stopped to chat with other moms while he patiently waited for me in his stroller albeit with an annoyed look!)
