Ashbridge's Bay

It is a competition in Toronto to see how early people will get in their shorts. There is usually one hardy Canadian who shows their pasty legs as soon as it goes above zero Celsius. Ashbridge's Bay is a way for Toronto to shake off their winter weariness and remember the good things in life. 35 hectares of waterfront park includes a slow-pitch softball center, a skateboard park, bicycle trails and the Woodbine Beach boardwalk. During the summer months, beach volleyball teams pepper the sand of Woodbine Beach, one of Toronto's eight beaches. Although a major clean-up project has been underway, most locals don't use the water as much for swimming as they do for rock-skipping.
