Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion

The Pavilion was renovated in 1980 to provide updated changing facilities and a café along the beach and a garden.

This changed in 1913 when the pumping station was demolished to make way for the bridge connecting Lakeshore Road and the King/Queen/Roncesvalles intersection.

[1] On June 28, 1922, Toronto Mayor Charles A. Maguire opened the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion to help bathers change for the swim in the lake.

On July 29, 1925, due to coldness of the lake during the preceding two summers, the Sunnyside Pool, nicknamed the 'Tank', was opened beside the Bathing Pavilion to the east.

The west wing, which formerly held the men's changing area, now houses a cafe with patio on the boardwalk and a tea garden.

The central section and upstairs terrace is used as a public space for functions, such as wedding receptions, catered by the cafe below.

Sunnyside Pool is open for swimming during the summer, starting in June and ending in September.

The lake is fit for swimming most of the summer, except for days after rainstorms when bacteria counts are high.

On Canada Day, the pavilion and park is often the site of picnics or music festivals.

In September, the upper terrace is used for the annual Sunnyside Beach Juried Art Show & Sale.
