High Park Toronto Reviews
Rated
out of 5 High Park is a stunning destination that truly captures the essence of natural beauty, especially during cherry blossom season. The beautiful cherry blossoms draw flower lovers, while the open spaces and benches provide ideal picnic spots. My family and I had an enchanting experience at the Cherry Blossom Festival, with evening visits feeling like stepping into another world. The vibrant colors and delicate petals created an atmosphere of pure magic. This picturesque setting is perfect for romantic strolls or family outings. Besides its floral charm, High Park offers a range of activities such as dog walking, making it a favorite among pet owners. The zoo within the park features a variety of animals, adding an extra layer of excitement to your visit. With a dog off-leash area, wonderful playgrounds, and a trackless train for kids, High Park caters to everyone. The park is easily accessible via the subway, ensuring convenience for all visitors. Parking near the Garden Cafe is limited, so I recommend parking on the main street and enjoying a leisurely stroll to the cherry blossom area. Overall, High Park is a true urban oasis in Toronto, offering a rejuvenating escape with its vast green spaces, serene ponds, and lush gardens. It's a must-visit for anyone looking to immerse themselves in nature and create unforgettable memories with their loved ones.

It's impossible to visit Toronto and not go to High Park. Here, life has taken place, with many activities and interactions in a huge space, and each season has a totally different look.
During the month of May, you can see the cherry trees in bloom, as well as many other flowers that indicate spring. During the summer, the courts, splash paddies and swimming pools are full and show off the summer. In the other months, the trees are already orange and the colder weather means fewer visitors. And in the winter, you can see a tangle of snow and ice everywhere.
The park has a little train that takes passengers to the main points of the park (transportation is paid, and only cash is accepted). It also has a mini zoo, playground, sports courts, restaurants and many trails. The park can be reached via the green line at High Park station, and there are also several bus lines.
For visitors with disabilities, the park has wide lanes for traffic, as well as bathrooms adapted for the disabled.

Where do I even begin!!! A piece of paradise within the hustle and bustle of the city. You can ride a bike, go for a walk, play all sorts of sports, swim, dog park, zoo, and the list goes on. I’m beyond grateful for this park!

Beautiful place and a really big recreational area for hiking, fishing and picnics. We mostly enjoyed hiking. The -1 star is only because there are not enough navigation inside the park in my opinion. The rest is amazing, really an escape in the middle of the big city. Looking forward to seeing the autumn here.
