South West Ajax includes Duffins Bay and Discovery Bay, which have the waterfront of Lake Ontario as their southern border. Key assets of this area are its proximity to the lakefront park and trail system and the Duffins Bay greenbelt area. The area is perfect for nature lovers, with its water features for canoeing and kayaking, many trails for walking, running, and cycling, and areas for watching birds and other wildlife along the marshes of the creek. The Central Employment area, in the northern part of this neighbourhood, is a well-established industrial area with critical mass of businesses and strong manufacturing base in the middle of Ajax.
