Thanks all for the suggestions, heres how the weekend went.

Friday night - paan from Karachi Bazaar and then a stroll at the boardwalk at Port Credit marina.

Saturday - day at Richards Memorial Park (2 minutes west of Lakeshore Rd and Mississauga Rd). Nice park with play grounds for kids and a conveniently located beach which the kids enjoyed thoroughly. Cons: $20 parking ticket, water was cold and full of seaweed.

Sunday - Valens Conservation Area for a day of boating, fishing and the beach.
Cost: Entrance fee for 2 cars and 9 people (5 adults, 4 kids): $40. Row-boat rental for the day $35
Cons: Row-boats for rental were broken and unmaintained. The oars kept coming off their hook which made it really difficult to operate.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car. Last edited by Cheegum; Jul 6th, 2009 at 07:57 AM..
