This public park by the water's edge contains a sandy area with beach umbrellas and lounge chairs. It is used for relaxing, sunbathing but not for swimming. On the west side of the park, one may see two fire fighting boats beside a fire hall. On the east side of the fire hall, there is a memorial to firefighters who died on duty. The name HTO is a play on H2O and "TO" which is a nickname for Toronto. There is also a HTO West Park, without a sandy area, just across the inlet from the fire hall.
