Very nice park, well kept, a lot of trails to walk in and many different scenery to see throughout the park. It is even possible to see a lot of wildlife including small critters and the infamous Canadian Goose, a complete change of pace from the big city all around the park! There are a lot of infrastructures available for activities including a pool and tennis courts. Numerous places are available to have a little picnic. I highly recommend visiting this place at least once, for tourists and locals alike.
It's a good park and spacious. I see that there are bikes to rent to use, bike lanes and lots of good things. Haven't explored much of it yet, because I've always just gone as supervising the children. I've only gone to the splash pad and park.

Visited the place with family on weekend. PARKING IS NOT ALLOWED ON WEEKEND AND YOU WILL NEED TO PARK ON ROAD SIDE NEAR BLOOR STREET.
The place is very nice for kids as there are so many activities to do. You can also take vehicle ride ($5 per person). There is zoo, splash pad, play areas and picnic area.
Also there is big lake inside the park but no beach. It is good to just sit and relax. Toilets are cleaned and well maintained. There are few restaurants inside the park so you will not find many options.
You can spend quality time with you family and can enjoy different activities.

Beautiful park with lots of greenery, beach, play area for kids and a little “zoo” with some kid-friendly animals. There are maps to guide you which route to take to get where, and some ice cream and hot dog stands for snacks. Parking is difficult. You will have to park somewhere else and walk down but not too bad. There are parking spots available in walking distances.
Very nice park and surrounding area. Quite surprised at how lush and diverse the forest is considering it's in downtown Toronto. The free zoo was entertaining and the gardens were beautiful.
Be advised... it is quite hilly. Definitely worth it, just make sure you're ready for it.
100% recommend it. It has a Stanley Park (Vancouver) vibe.

Absolutely must visit, so worth it! Doesn’t feel like you’re in Toronto. Beautifully well kept, there’s tons of trails for walking, biking and spots to enjoy nature. The restrooms were clean. There’s fishing, a zoo and tons of little animals like chipmunks, squirrels, ducks and Canadian geese.. perfect spot for a picnic, to walk your dog or just sit and read a book in the sun! Highly recommend!
This is surely one of the best public parks in the city of Toronto. Not only is it situated in a nice part of town, but you honestly can't even tell that you are in a large urban metropolis. There's so many different trees and wildlife in the park. There are also tennis courts and a swimming pool and kilometers of cycling trails. It's great for walking hiking picnics. It's also pet friendly, so it's a great place to walk your dog or bring your kids to play. The park offers so much to see and there are so many different areas within the park that you can easily spend the whole weekend at the park and not have covered it all. There is also the High Park zoo, which has a good variety of animals for kids and adults alike! For anyone who lives in the city as well as for visitors, this is a must-see free activity!
