Hillside Gardens

Perfect place to relax and to take cute pics for ig :)

this area of the park was a bit underwhelming, but that’s my fault since I went in the summer. there is the maple leaf shaped garden, but close up you can’t really tell what it is.

cherry blossoms were obviously Not in bloom but there were a handful of people just chilling out and vibing so that was nice to watch. the lake is also right nearby.

Amazing view on summer 🫶😎😎😎🫶
Nice place for look Sakura and a picnic😎

The cherry blossom trees were beautiful. I went there last weekend. They were just blossomed.But weekend was always busy. I also recommend people to go to Grenadier pond in High park another sakura view place. Both are great!

Hillside Park is a good spot in high park to watch sunset. Beautiful slopes down to the lake and bit of cityscape. There are multiple paths of various slants here to access lake and the maple leaf spot, encircled in bushes. It looks beautiful, in summer.

At the top of it, are some benches to sit, relax and enjoy seeing sun going down. There are also some fountain pools, which I believe would look beautiful whenever they are functional. I have never seen them working, though. There is also small maze garden around the fountain pool. My daughter to lives to play in there.

We would often, sit here for sometime before calling it a day in high park and then head back towards high park station and go home.

Beautiful spot, overall.

I visited Hillside Park to see the cherry blossoms, but unfortunately, the experience was just okay. While the park is beautiful and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, there were too many people and it was overcrowded. It was difficult to enjoy the scenery due to the rush of people. Overall, it was an average experience. If you're looking to see cherry blossoms in a serene environment, this might not be the best option for you or try going on a weekday.

Winter or summer – super nice place. And that ducks!
