    Thanks for posting this, I spent 3 weeks with my wife in Toronto for our honeymoon. Toronto Island was one of our favourite places and it had a totally unique feel. The residential bit was our favourite, such a pleasant place to walk around.

    I love the Islands. When I was a teenager, we spent a lot of time at the Centre Island beach....and walking through those fountains! Glad to see the amusement park is still there.

      What's the point of going there now that they got rid of the train ride, and the city closed down the souvenir booths and the games booths?

    My wife and I were there on a hot June day in the early 2000s up from Western PA. The boat ride was so refreshing and an escape from the city heat. The skyline views are amazing, and at the back of the island looking out onto Lake Ontario you wouldn’t even think you are near a big city. Thank you!

    Centre Island is one of those places that I never get sick of. I would love to spend a weekend on Ward Island to get the feel of living there! 😀👍

      I agree, its a lot easier to get to those cottages then it is to Muskoka.
      It would be great if the city didn't renew expiring leases and then allow anyone to book them for a week (much like the provincial park Yurts)

    If you really love this channel, like I do. Then get your badge like mine. A follower for six months now, is yellow. I am 76 years young and each day I look forward to his videos one on one. Because he has the gift of speaking too me and not at me. The thought of being alone disappears and he makes me laugh. What a gift, what an artist and what a beautiful human being. The entire world has many lonely people and elderly, alone at this time. As one songwriter sang, Love Is All We Need

    Wow 🤩 beautiful centre island and it’s been a while since I was there. I really like how you captured your videos and the quality of DJI mini pocket. I wonder how much this one costs? The quality of it here hasn’t change while my DJI mini drone footage changed the quality of it when uploaded. Thank you for sharing your amazing walking videos.

    Was Centreville Amusement Park ever free admission before COVID-19 started in 2020? Because people just were able to walk in and not pay to enter. So what has it been so far?

    • @JohnnyStrides

      @@pollardkowsill1095, you have to pay a fee to enter the park, as in most amusement parks, unlike past years (and you also have to pay for the rides as usual); didn't you understand what Johnny said in the video? You can get around this by buying a wristband for you and your family.

    The largest park that requires a bike is Tommy Thompson Park. Way too long to walk through in the baking sun. The island is fun for biking aswell.

    Dear Mr. Johnny Strides.... WARNING.... VERY TOUNGE AND CHEEK.... Please Feel Free to Use the Ralph Bag.... In this Episode, Our Hero, Johnny, was unfortunately not recognized by the attendant at the Fort Knox-Like Gate that keeps out pesky people from the amusement section trying to enter Centerville Island ... Johnny is Toronto's Vlogger.... And so He was required to show the attendant his fancy-schmancy all-blue wristband.... Nice touch... And so he continued vlogging the events at the amusement section... And prior to that, he had enjoyed a nice juicy and FAT Frog-Burger with all the trimmings, which included Frog-Legs, and instead of back bacon he wisely selected crunchy Lobster Back Bacon.... And no Frog Burger Special would be complete without crushed Snot-Snail, Sprinkled with House Spider Golosh Sauce....... MMMMMM.., We're talking about a Vlogger Superhero Burger.... Alright!..... After eating such a great meal join the Sprint to Bathroom Contest, many people are willing to run to the washroom within fifteen minutes.... It clears the bowl track better than a large salad or Prune Juice.... Oh, don't forget to eagerly ask for the plate of Fries with such a delicious burger... Spider Fries with or without Garlic and/ or Worm French Fries with BBQ spice...... The end.... Always in Good Taste.... (Ralph!).... CHEERS!!..... Be Supportive and Subscribe... Check out Johnny Stumbles.... "Yeah, I'll have the Skunk Beer on Tap!"

    They should not have torn it down to put in this park, in the 50’s and 60’s it was so full of life and lovely people, now it is just a tourist trap. Sad to see this.

      We can agree to disagree, but I think a large public space for everyone to use is far better than an exclusive community given the location.
