Recreation in Humber Summit

Rowntree Mill Park accessed off Islington Avenue from Rowntree Mill Road, is part of the North Humber watershed and contains many nice picnic spots set amidst open meadows and woodlands. Hiking and nature walks are popular activities in this park.

To the east of Islington Avenue and south of Finch Avenue are access points to the West Humber Parkland trail. This 5.5 kilometre paved trail follows the Humber Valley to the Humber Arboretum. The Humber Arboretum is operated by the city of Toronto and features a wide variety of plants and wildlife with demonstration gardens, self guided trails and a visitor interpretation centre.

Golf enthusiasts are just minutes from the Humber Valley public golf course off Beattie Avenue at Albion Road. This par 70 course challenges golfers with its combination of links and valleyland holes.
