East Point marks the eastern end of the Scarborough Bluffs, which stretch for 15 km along the Lake Ontario shore, from the Eastern Beaches to East Point Park. They are a significant geological feature resulting from the accumulation of sedimentary deposits over 12,000 years ago, formed by the natural processes of wind and water erosion from Lake Ontario.

East Point Park is one of Toronto's largest parkland areas along the City's east waterfront. It is a migratory staging area for monarch butterflies and over 178 species of birds. There are trails to explore and the park offers a two level softball centre pavilion, washrooms, showers, change-rooms, umpire room, indoor lounge and outdoor patio.

The park is an ecological gem due to its proximity to Lake Ontario and a moderate climate. East Point Park features meadow, bluff, beach, shrub thicket, forest and wetland - all with a diversity of plant life due to the imperfectly drained, fertile top soil on the glacial deposits which form the Scarborough Bluffs.
