This was a great park! Has tables and chairs to sit but can get really busy and it’s first come first serve but there are boulders/rocks you can sit on.
Some days they have entertainment in the park and it was great to have coffee and lunch while listening to music.

Great park, has swings, slides and bars. One tiny splash pad (which is all you really need + perfect for a quick cool down) and a stunning view. For a parent that finds the park kind of stressful it's nice to have to have the pond to distract from the trivial worries and get caught up with your child pointing out the fish or ducks.
A pleasant and welcoming place for kids to have fun. The splash pads, play area, and soccer field are fantastic additions for their enjoyment.
A quiet little local place where you can play a baseball or soccer game as well as take a dip when the pool is open. It hasn't been too crowded, even on the Saturdays I've been there. Excellent.
I love this park! It's very accommodating for many things as it includes a splash pad, wading pool, two playgrounds, great soccer field, baseball diamond, city hockey rink (including ball hockey programs), an outdoor workout facility, ample park space and 100+old trees for shade with picnic tables scattered throughout.
It's one of the city's best park imo.

Beautiful place, both modern and historic. I love how they maintained the historic buildings . I was amazed by the way they moved the RBC building brick by brick and left it as is. This shows a great appreciation of the culture.
It is a cozy little place in the city of Toronto. Surrounded by lots of restaurants and shopping outlets while retaining that cozy feeling. Hidden behind those shopping outlets it feels like a hidden Gem 💎 waiting to be discovered. Live music performances by people lots of pigeons. Highly recommended.
The guide was very passionate about the history museum so it was a very interesting and enjoyable experience. The inside of the house is very well curated.
Modern and comfortable food court. Burger King has the self serve kiosk.
Small park nestled in the Don Valley next to the DVP. Some free parking available but space is limited. There’s some picnic tables and some public access grills, however no restroom facilities. Beautiful and peaceful little lake with lots of wildlife milling about. Sound pollution is a bit bothersome as it is right next to the DVP, however it’s a nice spot to get a moment of peace. Trails form part of the greater Toronto multi-use trail network.
A beautiful soaring structure with an amazing "sculpture" that will be gone in 2 days!
A hidden gem right beside Casa Loma. Free tour by the Toronto historical society will tell you lots of histories about the past and the lifes of different people or groups. Outside, is this beautiful garden. You can sit with a blanket to enjoy bird singing, fresh air and/or just a quiet afternoon. Truly great place to visit and enjoy. Highly recommended.
Very lively place to have a evening walk.
Visited this park to see the Canada Day fireworks and it did not disappoint. Lots of vendors were there and the fireworks at the end of the night were beautiful.
Located in the financial district of Toronto, in the heart of downtown, it has a great location. Beautiful architecture, with the Allen Lambert Galleria, Sam Pollock Square, TD Canada Trust Tower, Bay-Wellington Tower, Hockey Hall of Fame, and several heritage buildings preserved throughout the complex. It also has a great food court that is connected with the PATH, I frequent the Subway Sandwich store there every time I walk through the PATH there! Built in the 90s, they don’t build buildings like this anymore.
Amazing for running. If you run early from 5-6 am, then hardly ever see anyone. Very peaceful and serene.
This is a lovely trail. It doesn't span the entire Scarborough Bluffs and doesn't connect to the other trails but it is still a nice place to go for a walk.
The guided tour is great, they are really excited to share their knowledge and stories about the Austin family. The administration takes care of the place nicely and the tour is free.
Beautiful park in the middle of the city !
The trail is amazing approx 3+ Km.
If you don’t like too much sun the trail has good canopy of trees covering the trail with good shade.
Loved my walk so much.

Brookfield Place is a must-visit destination in Toronto, offering a perfect blend of modern architecture and serene ambiance. I recently explored this venue and was thoroughly impressed.
I visited Brookfield Place primarily to capture aesthetic pictures, and it did not disappoint. The architecture, with its soaring glass atrium and intricate design elements, provided stunning backdrops for photography. Whether you're an amateur photographer or a seasoned professional, this place offers endless opportunities for creative shots.
One of the standout features of Brookfield Place is its accessibility. Open both weekdays and weekends to the public, it allows everyone to enjoy its beauty and tranquility at their convenience.
During my visit, I found the atmosphere to be peaceful and inviting. The cleanliness and maintenance of the space added to the overall positive experience.
In conclusion, Brookfield Place is more than just a shopping and office complex; it's a cultural hub and a gem in Toronto's downtown core. Whether you're visiting for photography, leisurely strolls, or simply to enjoy the architectural marvels, Brookfield Place promises a memorable experience that showcases the best of urban aesthetics and accessibility.

Such a gorgeous location, it really takes you to the past with its architecture and beautiful gardens! The staff is so sweet and informative and the grounds make for a perfect picnic spot, photoshoot or a walk with the family.
Currently there’s no parking on grounds but Casa Loma offers all day parking and it’s just next door.

Nice area to relax and yet have fun, had chance to visit more than 2 dozens of vendors every Saturday 9am-1pm, tried some fritters from The Fritter Shop Vendor, just Wow! They sell very nice Coffee as well, we tried Strawberries from the other vendor, very fresh, we bought apple cider too. Overall good experience!
We went for a walk throughout the park grabbed a bite at Hemingways. Felt like a drink so we went to Delysees.
Lovely park with huge green spaces. Lots going on from playground, splash pads, tennis courts (we could get more), soccer games and hockey games. Lovely view of the city's skyline. It's less crowded than Riverdale. This is lesser known but I love this park! Saturdays they do farmers market with love music too in the summer.
Come to see the ducks and geese. But they are gone during the winter.
A place to visit at anytime of the day. Clear view of the water and a place to capture good moments of life.
My favorite park in the area, lots of space for soaking up some rays with friends, playing sports, a fitness circuit, dog park, washrooms, a playground and more! Lots of gorgeous trees and lush green grass.
Stunningly beautiful, each room has a color theme. The more than 100-year-old architecture bears a strong historical mark
Hockey hall of fame, a must see, so much hockey history, and some fun interactive games!!!
Loved this quaint historical mansion. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and listening to the story about the family who lived here while we saw all the antiques gave a palpable experience. It was nice to imagine myself living a life here some decades ago. Me and my friends walked into this museum without expecting much as it is close to our college and free of charge too. Now it is one of my favourite places. The park surrounding the house is lush with greenery, flowers and it’s so nice to take naps under the sun and breeze.
I like this park because the whole family enjoys it, there is a small playground for kids to play, and I enjoy walking or sitting around the lake; the view is really nice.
It is an ok park with good playground for babies and toddlers. Yet it has a lack of maintenance and cleaning.
Amazing park. They just recently upgraded the playground, which my kods love. They have washrooms open on the outsides of thr community centre, a swimming pool open in the summer, a baseball centre, a rec centre right beside it and also a hockey arena steps away from the park. The only reason I took away one star is because they need more parking.
Nice little trail with a very steep hill
A 21st-century office building on the outside with historic and entertaining surprises on the inside. Within the main doors, the modern, high-ceiling walkway is an architectural gem. The path leads past a small stone building, built in 1845, that is completely enclosed by the new complex. The walkway leads to a large room that offers a food court and the Hockey Hall of Fame. Lots of good food and sports history. The food court could use more places to sit, but otherwise, a great place for lunch downtown.
Amazing park! So much green space and play space.
I went here with my moms group, we were towards the top of the park from Danforth, they have a gated play area for kiddos. My son loved it!
They have tennis courts right next to the gated park area!

Beautiful, Calm and a lovely place for relaxing for summers
Such an absolute beauty and 20th century aesthetic hidden in this well preserved mansion. It documents the lifestyle of a wealthy Canadian family that lived for almost a 100 years at Spadina; showcasing the different interior design choices and intimate details in the furniture, wallpaper and even the paintings drawn by the family members themselves.
The admissions are free and I absolutely recommend joining a guided tour to fully grasp the beauty and context of the lives spent in this mansion.
The you can last up to 90 minutes, I suggest starting early in the day and brining your curiosity and love for history and the arts with you!
The staff are super helpful and they truly comprehend the multitude of this mansion’s history and heritage. There’s a small gift shop and there’s also a vast garden/park that surrounds the mansion that is accessed through the mansion’s main gate.
I visited Spadina on a rainy day but I believe it would be even more beautiful on a nice sunny day 🌸⭐️

This is a great little park for kids, it has various climbing fixtures, swings and a good size slide. Appropriate for all ages
It's a nice, big dog park, but there's no water. I've been to a few different ones and they all had water.
This is one of the best tours I've had in Toronto. The tour guide was very friendly and thorough in their explanations. The tour was quite long for such a small place. There's just so much details to explore here. Please do come!
Such a great park with so much to do, love walking my dog here daily and bringing my son to the park.
Nice park which has really great light displays at certain times of the year
While visiting the Hockey Hall of fame I strongly recommend that you look around the Brookfield place mall. The high glass ceiling is amazing. They have thousands of lights dancing high above and at night time it is spectacular.
There is also special exhibits on display. I saw the Salvador Dali work and that too was fantastic.
If you like my reviews, videos or photo just wish upon a star and watch it twinkle when you hit the like button

I visit this park often, quiet area afternoon .
We started at the Moccasin Trail Park entrance and took a path that eventually lead us to Wigmore Park. Good hiking trail wil some decent elevation in certain sections. Has a bit of everything: tunnel, bridges, streams (and you may see some fish/salmon as well). Walking in the October we also got to experience a bit of the fall colours. Great trail!

A great park to bring your toddlers and kids to. They have multiple options to play around and have fun with.
Such an oasis right next to Danforth. Park has a dog off-leash area, baseball diamond, basketball court, soccer field, and plenty of green space. You can also see the CN Tower and part of the skyline from the park. And for all it offers, it is not packed even on weekends. Such a gem!
Stunning place. Lovely place to walk or ride to.
Nice walk along the lake. Trees on one side, lake on other. Great view of the bluffs. Path down is steep.
Great place to enjoy wildlife with minimal people
I am the homeless guy that was displaying stationary acrobatics.
Nice building
I highly recommend this park and the dog park.
I am a dog walker in this area. It's an absolute pleasure to go here. The dogs I work with love this place so much. I do plan to come in the summer with my own dogs. Truly it's worth it to go here, there are so ma y friendly people and dogs. Never have issues at this park.
Their is also a skating rink and a great deal of grass land to play with children as well. Winter time there is a small hill there to go sledding on.
This place is great for family's with children and family's with furry children

A beautiful park right in the heart of Yorkville village. Right on the top of the Bay subway station it's well connected to all the places. It has some amazing restaurants and shopping centres surrounding the park. Several festivals are held at this park, Yorkville Christmas holiday, ice sculpture festival etc.
The Village of Yorkville Park is a great place for photo ops, relaxing and reading your favourite book or hanging out with friends and family. Every winter, around Christmas time they host the Cavalcade of Lights with beautiful Christmas light displays.
In the winter they also have the ice sculptures located here (February I believe) and they’ll have the Festival of Lights and different themed events here throughout the year. The ice sculptures throughout the years have represented some of the events of the year and other years they are themed or focused around a larger event.
Centrally located in Yorkville, there are lots of coffee shops and restaurants to grab a snack and make a day out of it with some great shopping. This is a fun place to bring the family whether you’re from Toronto or visiting, if you happen to catch an event at the park, chances are it will be well lit and picture perfect!!

Took a few pics of Santa and his reindeer above Old Yorke Lane (across from Yorkville Park). The Fleurs de Villes sponsored by Porsche is also on full display tonight, from Dec. 6-10 so I snapped a pic of the flowered peppermints 🎄☃️❄️

I love coming to this park and i am so glad it's just a 20 min walk away from home. The place is very well maintained, there are beautiful trees all over, play ground for kids, a big wide open field for kids to run around, or for people to chill. There a pretty big dog area as well, for all the dog owners and dog lovers to come around.
I personally love to come here on days off just to look at dogs interacting.
This park gives me a sense of peace, everyone seems to enjoy their time here.
One of the best community parks in East York area. Definetly worth a visit, especially now with all the foliage.

Moccasin Park Trail
This is a well-developed trail just off the Shops at Don Mills.
The trail has undergone construction and is well-paved.
It is a mix of forest and open field. You can see beautiful fall colours.
It is nice to hike in whatever season.

Beautiful beach.... very secluded....quite..... 500 metre walk......
Nice peaceful park to walk your dog, take your kids to burn some energy, or just go on a nice quiet stroll to get away from it all. Just watch out for geese droppings.
Amazing view
Lovely park in the middle of Downtown, surrounded by the best stores of the city. With a boulder that is over a billion years and diferent sections, it's a little oasis, great to take the kids or enjoy a quiet time in your day relaxing with a cup of tea or coffee. Beautiful Christmas lights and decorations turn it into a Winter Wonderland on this Holiday season.
Beautiful park with a long scenic trail along the river, perfect for a walk and cycling with kids. It is close to the highway so this may not be the best option if you're looking for a quiet place to walk. Parking is free but does not have a lot of space.
Hands down one of the best parks in the city, there is a baseball diamond, bleachers to enjoy the game, a large jungle gym, a wall to bounce a tennis ball off if you're playing alone 🎾. This park is well mainted there are no visable encampments, a massive field is here as well for running around if curling is more your thing there is a rink and club literally across the street. Take your family here with no regrets. You can easily access this park with a bike there are bike lines along the road and a bike path right through the park.
Huge and monumental
Perfect place for walking, jogging or riding. Place is big enough for bike riding. Safe , clean and full of greenary. This place is also good for fall colors. I enjoyed my riding a lot over there. If you are planning to go there by car no worries it also has car parking area.
Park is between Old Orchard and Deloraine (not far from Avenue Rd) with free street parking on both streets.
There is no washroom and very little shade.
The equipment is the current "standard" pieces for kids playground.
Having the water bottle filling station is very convenient.
Easily accessible from both streets for wheelchairs.
It is usually not very busy and offers children lots of space.

Love that little park. Great pass through for bikes. Wonderful area for kids to play.. great playground. Has picnic areas which are also covered. There are some really nice old trees to add shade and quite a bit of green space and tree planting going on to add to the parks good vibes. Really great place for a picnic with your younger children.
ONly person i trust to buy my Art from, Very happy with his Art that he sold me ....
It's a wonderful playground for kids, even with the pandemic. It has a great grassy area, but two minor concerns are the small tunnel under the tiny bridge, and some of the kids there are troubling. Then again, I definitely look a bit too much like tween to say that the kids will approach anyone :P
Summer or winter time, this place is nice for a short walk and enjoy the mini lake there.
Nice area and very nice park with many different areas to walk and or hike through. Pretty during my walk and winter views. Love to see this spot in the summer and fall views so will return again.
Good place to take a picture
My daughter and I, walks at this trail almost everyday. The best to visit in the morning, quiet (you have all the pathway to yourself 😂), you can hear a lot of different types of birds, you can see squirrels (chipmunks too) having their breakfast, and the best part (for me!) is the morning dew 😍. Big trees along the pathway, no bugs (well depends on the time), occasional cars come and go since there is a car park, you can also have a picnic in the area. Some picnic tables but no bbq pits. Also this trail is connected to Don Mills trail. Enjoy 😊
Welcoming.
Clean pool and splash pad to relax at for the day. Always a clean park. The skate park has always been legit.
That is where I broke my ankle. However lots of great memories here. Always fun with fireworks for statutory holidays. Family friendly atmosphere. Lots of great baseball. Great place with many activities. The park has been upgraded and I can't wait until it's fully open. This is the best park in the city. So much to do.

Really nice park, relaxing enough even though it's next to the 401 highway. It has a lake where geese nest and turtle can be found. Some people go fishing here but nothing big to be found.
I've never seen a kids park with such crazy climbing structures before. It's beautifully laid out, and the play area is big enough for a large group of kids.
My ONLY complaint is that there are no toddler slides (for the 1-4 year-old range).

I recently visited to view the Dr. Seuss show. It was a wonderful experience, enjoying prints of such classic works. The owners were friendly and informative.
Memorial for Canada's involvement in the Boer War.
Liss Gallery is wonderful. The proprietor is fabulous. Catch the Dr. Suess Exhibition well worth the visit.
beautiful place for photography....
Great memorial to the fallen of a war long past. Historical elements are very detailed as well as the allegories. The fountain does draw the attention further, best seen during the summer.
Well maintained and sits well even with all the modern buildings dominating south of the intersection.
For Canadian history buffs or passerby, a nice stop to sit and reflect even during a lunch break.

The person working there was extremely friendly, and answered all the questions I had, and the exhibit was amazing
I remember this gallery owner. She had a gift shop in Montreal selling Eskimo art to American tourists. She called it a gallery but it was at best a gift shop. Not unusual she surfaced in Toronto selling amateur art. Not an addition to the Toronto scene. Pretentious about her knowledge. Drivel really.
really small but quaint gallery: went to see Dr Seuss’ artwork, loved it, just wish there had been more
The Liss Gallery is a small gem of a place in Yorkville. I bought a beautiful print of Dr Seuss' Cat in the Hat there. It inspires me whenever I look at it. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Great place I would recommend it. I am looking forward to going back to see the exhibit of Dr Seuss' 60th anniversary Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas prints.
Nice park. But crowded. And it's one thing to have kids walk up the slide unaware of the bottleneck they're causing if unsupervised, but consistently here parents watch their kids walk up the slide while there is a line of kids at the top waiting to come down and they say nothing. Their kid is the most special after all, don't you know!? Other than that, it's a nice community park. No one wears a mask nowadays. Just be aware.
Visited for the Dr. Suess art work which is phenomenonal.
