High Park – Toronto
Centrally located at 1873 Bloor St W, the park spans 161 hectares (399 acres), providing a unique and unusual sense of wilderness within a major urban centre.
The park, over one-third of which remains in a natural state, is home to many species of wildlife, including birds, fish and animals.
The oak savannahs in the park, form one of the most famous and admires aspects of the site. These savannahs are the remnants of the sand prairie system that once covered much of the Ontario landscape.
Easily accessible by public transit, High Park offers year-round attractions and amentities, including historic Colborne Lodge and the Coach House, a volunteer built playground, animal paddocks, sports fields, an outdoor ice rink, and the beautifully landscaped Hillside Gardens.
High Park is also home to the well-known Dream in High Park. This favorite open-air theatrical event has become a tradition for Torontonians and visitors alike, each summer.
