High Park Toronto Reviews

Rated 4.7 out of 5 Star Rating

5 Star Rating During my time at High Park for the cherry blossom season, I was completely blown away by the beauty! The park was transformed into a breathtaking sea of pink/ white blossoms, creating an incredible atmosphere. There were so many walking paths, making it easy to spend hours exploring the area. I was pleasantly surprised to see few horse rides happening inside the park, which added a unique touch to the experience. It was pretty crowded because of the cherry blossoms, so if you’re hoping to take photos at the prime spots, be ready to wait a bit. But honestly, the lively energy made it all worthwhile! One of the highlights was how dog-friendly the park is—lots of people were out enjoying the day with their furry companions. The nearby lake was also a lovely addition, with people fishing and relaxing by the water. I’m already looking forward to next year’s cherry blossom season! High Park is an amazing place to soak up nature, enjoy a leisurely walk, and appreciate the stunning beauty of the blossoms. It’s a must-see in Toronto!

5 Star Rating I visited High Park this summer, and it was an incredible experience. The park is huge it’s actually the largest public park in the city. I spent hours just walking along the many trails, and there were so many picnic spots where I could relax and enjoy the beautiful weather. I was really surprised by how amazing the park is for both walking and biking.

5 Star Rating High Park was very large and quiet just the way I liked it when I visited on a Thursday afternoon. It provided the solace I needed from living in a house with straight men who are homophobic. You can also spot foxes going about their days. It’s pretty quaint and nice. The restrooms are also clean and accessible.

5 Star Rating One of the best places to visit if you are in Toronto, best park if you are a sporting enthusiast. A scenic view of the lake is just outstanding, if you just want to lay down and watch the open sky and feel the summer breeze while living in the city, this is the best get away place for the weekend. A well maintained park for kids. Off leash areas for pets are very interesting too. The zoo has a wide range of animals but closes early.
