High Park

I love parks!

High Park is a huge green space with a lot of gardens, natural ponds, and streams. The 165-acre country property has  belonged to the City of Toronto since 1873.

The park is for the free use, benefit and enjoyment of the citizens of Toronto. There are animal paddocks, swimming pools, playgrounds, picnic areas, and a scenic train. There are also 19th-century recreated gardens.

Every year, the Canadian Stage Company plays some performances at the open-air theatre in Toronto's High Park during the summer months, known as "Shakespeare in the Park".
