Toronto Music Garden

Such a peaceful and beautiful hidden gem, especially in the summer. The landscaping is stunning with winding paths, lush greenery, and an abundance of flowers. There are always birds singing. It is unique due to its connection to music. Each section of the garden reflects the movement and emotion of the piece. A calm escape in the city!

This is a really neat use of garden space along the Lake Ontario Waterfront in Toronto. It is part of a series of connecting parks and green space, butting up against the Spadina Quay Wetland to the east and to the west the Little Norway Park by way of Queen's Quay W. The park was designed by Julie Moir Messervy with contribution from cellist Yo-Yo Ma and opened to the public in 1999. What you find a charming waterfront space with three sections featuring mature trees with shade, lovely landscaping and flowerbeds full in bloom during our July visit, winding walking paths and lots of quiet spaces to sit and read a book. This is a great little park to leisurely stroll through especially during the warm summer months. Of the various parks visited along the Waterfront, this is one we really enjoyed spending time.

What a beautiful place to spend some time on a warm summer day. We got here very easily on the streetcars. There are very nice views of Lake Ontario and the boats docked on the harbor side. Lots of monarch butterflies to see as well. Obviously the main attraction here are the musicians who perform in the park, which really adds a lot to the ambiance.

Free to see and visit. Very beautiful garden. Well-kept and maintained. There is clearly a theme to the garden and you can follow the signs to get a better understanding to this Garden. The middle has an area which resembles two stages. From time to time there are events or just buskers playing. Nice to walk through for sure. Take your time and enjoy it. The paths are a little narrow. Do not suggest running through here.

This is an accessible garden at the waterfront. Along the North edge, is a sidewalk (along Queens Quay) and a wide paved pathway ongoing the Southern edge of this park. There is a winding pathway, throughout the garden. All sections are accessible. There are sections, each with a collective musical theme. There are various plants, natural areas, and others that are groomed and strategically planted to fit with the overall theme. There is an amphitheater atmosphere with accessible areas at the top, and at the front on grass. This garden has free concerts weekly, ( Thurs & Sun. evenings) and other interesting community musicians, throughout the summer. There is some seating throughout the pathways. The terrain is fairly flat, with small cracks, and edges in areas with cobblestone, and similar.
