It is situated on the east bank of the Humber River north and south of Dundas Street West.

The portion south of Dundas Street West is within the 'Lambton Baby Point' neighbourhood as defined by the City of Toronto.

The neighbourhood is divided north/south by the Canadian Pacific Railway's Lambton Yard, which runs parallel to and north of Dundas Street West.

Access between the northern and southern sections is available only via Jane Street and Scarlett Road, and via the Humber River Recreational Trail (foot/bicycle only).

The area east of Gooch Avenue was developed in the early 20th century as part of the expanding York Township, a suburb by then of Toronto proper.

Located on Bernice Cres., near the intersection of Scarlett Road and Dundas Street West, the original building was constructed in 1916 and was replaced in 1969.

Magwood Park at the south end of the neighbourhood hosts a softball diamond, basketball court and playground.

Lambton Golf and Country Club, a private golf and tennis club, is bounded on the west, south and east by the Humber River, the Canadian Pacific Railway line west of Lambton Yard, and Scarlett Road, respectively, and extends to the north of Black Creek.

[5] Florence Gell Park includes a playground with a splash pad, and weather permitting hosts two outdoor natural ice rinks in the winter.
