Huge Park.
May 2023 • Couples
Visited 25/05/2023.

Loved going for a walk in this Park. It was big, clean, plenty of trees to see local wildlife. So much bigger than we anticipated, but lovely to visit.

Beautiful and relaxing
Mar 2024 • Friends
Very busy place, but a very nice park, make sure you take your peanuts to feed the squirrels, or a book or blanket just to relax ,this place is really nice ,you can even take your dogs as long as they're on a leash, and let's not forget the animals, we saw peacocks, yak, bison all kinds of things down at the other end, you could have a very relaxing day just strolling through the park worth the stroll

Quiet winter-walk through the park
Feb 2024 • Solo
On my walk through this 161-hectare treed park, with many large open spaces, I saw others walking, jogging, and riding bikes — a very peaceful and free atmosphere. The park's beauty will be much more incredible when the spring flowers bloom.

Large park - worth a visit
Feb 2024 • Couples
Large park. Ice Rink in Winter. Tennis courts and other recreational activities available.

Large lakes.
Very steeps hills so be careful.

An area for off-leash dog walks also.

Wonderful green retreat
Sept 2023 • Couples
We had a fabulous time visiting this extensive park - a wonderful green space providing mixed recreational and natural areas, with sporting and cultural facilities, gardens, playgrounds and a zoo. The zoo was a small area and had the feel of walking through a farmyard. Very pleasant. The park offered ample places to stop for a picnic. There was also the Grenadier cafe/restaurant. The gardens were beautifully maintained. A number of washrooms were available throughout the park area. We travelled by Subway to High Park Station and it was a short walk to enter the park at Colborne Lodge Drive, Bloor Street West. It's about a 20 min walk (1.5kms) to the Zoo section. It's easy to spend a whole day exploring within the park!

Lovely peaceful park
Sept 2023 • Couples
Lovely quiet park just a short subway ride away from the city centre. We had a lovely walk around the park, past the Hillside Gardens, lake, duck ponds & animal enclosures. We enjoyed seeing lots of wildlife including chipmonks & some huge butterflies, & rounded it off with an ice cream at the Grenadier Restaurant.

Great local park
Dec 2022
Great local park. I visited during the winter, so the park was lightly covered with snow, which added beauty. There were people playing ice hockey. Great scene.

A beautiful large park, with the cutest zoo for kids
Oct 2022 • Family
What a beautiful park in the fall with the trees changing colours. The zoo was so cute, we saw a cababara, peacocks, emus, bisons, goats, lamas, among others. It took us a fair amount of wandering around to find it, there were no signs anywhere! I had heard that police were giving out tickets to bikers, which I thought odd, until we visited the park for the first time and many latex clad individuals raced past us going VERY fast. So many little kids tottering about, I’m surprised there not been more accidents. The bathroom were kinda gross too, but at least they were not locked.
