Very peaceful and serene area. I love coming here for walks on the trail and sightseeing. Everyone is very friendly who works at the park. They also have a playground for the kids and a lake for fishing. I just love coming here and escaping the city life.

I recently visited Tottenham Conservation Park for a fall colors trail walk, and it was a fantastic experience overall. The park is a hidden gem, offering stunning autumn scenery with trees bursting in vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows. The trail walk was peaceful, winding through the forest and along the water, providing beautiful views at every turn. It’s the perfect spot for a quiet, nature-filled escape. In addition to the trails, the park has a lot to offer for families. There’s a small beach, which would be great for summer visits, and a kids’ playground that looked like fun for younger visitors. Picnic areas are plentiful, including shaded spots and BBQ stations, making it ideal for a day out with friends or family. However, one downside was the restrooms. They were not cleaned, which was disappointing, especially for a park that seems so well-maintained otherwise. If you’re planning a visit, keep that in mind. Overall, Tottenham Conservation Park is a beautiful place for a nature walk and outdoor activities, but I hope they improve the restroom facilities soon.

Lovely Place. Small lake is beautiful. need to pay fee for entrance. But worthy for day camping. Beach is not good. We did not find good place for fishing. Only good For Picnic, Family, Friend, Get Together, Walk .....very nice place.

Nice place for a quiet day. Very calm & peaceful. Good for camping as well. At the park office they said the water quality was good & is tested every day, however the water seemed dirty with mosquitoes & grass growing inside.
