favourite things at High Park

It's a nice place to relax and just enjoy nature while you're still in the city. A great place to jog, walk, play sports, and just hang out!

the fitness trail is a hidden gem, Colborne Lodge is a fun historical visit, an outdoor zoo, and a kitschy restaurant in the middle of it all

Bring a blanket. Find your own spot. Maybe sneak in some wine. It's true - you do forget that you're in Toronto for a moment. Pure earthy escapism.

They have a number of capybaras, the world's largest rodent, as well as groundhogs who live with the mouflon sheep. Oh and the peahens of course. No, I'm not forgetting the llamas. Okay, I just love them all.

It's a great place to escape from the rat race of the city, right inside the city! Any time of year, High Park is a great escape!

it's huge, beautiful and full of different things to do depending on which day you go. I've had a fun game of bocce there, been toboganning, ran around with a dog or two - there's no limit!

this huge beautiful park so close to downtown, we are lucky to have it. but now we have to destroy those horrid tall condos blotting the skyline to the south.

it has the most incredible children's playground I've ever seen (informally called Castle Park) plus gardens, that wacky High Park Zoo, water play, ice cream ... and it's so big that you can easily feel like you've left the city altogether.

High Park has a really fine cluster of woodland trails in the northeast part. The Black oak savannah habitat is particularly interesting and lovely, an example of native grasslands that existed here before the Euros came over and cleared the big old hardwood forests. Great picnic spots, and this walk takes you past the beloved community gardens and the outdoor theatre space that has free Shakespeare in the summer.

It is such a great park full of nice trails and some great trees where to have a picnic and read a good book under.

where else in the city can you coast past castles and totems, peacocks and cherry groves, japanese gardens and sprawling lawns - all within pedal power of the scenic lakeshore or a number of great post-cycle lunch spots on Bloor or Roncesvalles.

Beautiful trees, lovely attractions, even a mini-zoo and a mini-marsh. High Park is a gorgeous location, and even sports some (not terribly challenging) hills... and it's close to the lakeshore for longer runs.

They have an offleash dog area where she can run around without a care in the world.

It's a great place to watch the sun set; awesome for dogs; so quiet you can hear yourself think.
