High Park Toronto Reviews
Rated
out of 5 I recently visited the park, and it exceeded my expectations in every way. The vast open spaces allowed for serene walks, while the diverse terrains added an adventurous touch. The small zoo was a delightful surprise, offering a charming variety of animals. The lakes added tranquility, making it a perfect spot for picnics. A truly immersive experience that caters to all ages and interests.
Just that carry some food and snacks with you, because once you enter, there is no place to eat, just one or two eateries, but most of the times it is close.

I absolutely love this park. It's a large park with tall wide trees and unleashed areas for dogs to run free. Long wide paths to walk, jog, and bike ride. There's a sports area as well as a performance stage for entertainment. You'll see squirrels and cute chipmunks running around. There's also a little zoo on the grounds, and it's gorgeous in the fall.

Lovely park in a busy neighborhood!
This park is especially popular during sunny days and has some nice walking trails available. With so many restaurants and cafés nearby, it’s a great spot to enjoy while snacking on something from nearby or a coffee stroll. Also worth mentioning that it’s accessible via street bike lanes so it’s a great destination if you’re looking to take a bike ride!

This is my most favorite park in Toronto. (Or maybe second after Toronto Island). It is so stunningly beautiful all year around and it's well connected by public transit from Line 2 and from TTC buses.
High Park is a must visit park specially in Cherry blossom season. It won't disappoint you.

Like the zoo’s in between and lovely garden. Massive dog park on and off.
Beautiful place and view. The hawk view point actually had a huge hawk sitting at the point on a bench. Fitting!
