Great place to get high if that's your thing. Jokes aside high park is an amazing place to spend time. The dog park is large and includes a wooded are..

There are countless paved and unpaved trails for all types of recreation. Lots of grassy landscaped areas that join to Grenadier pond. There is a small ZOO! There are two hockey/skating rinks, multiple tennis courts, a soccer field, a swimming pool and multiple play structures for children. There's also a restaurant near the center of the park too. And finally this is one of the best places to view the cherry blossom bloom in the city, but there can be crazy crowds at that time so maybe go early in the day to get good pictures. |

One advice: if you are going there for a meet-up/hangout (while observing the social distancing rules or when everything opens up ?), sharing your live location would be very helpful in identifying where group members are. Once again, this place is huge and beautiful! ? |

This park is huge so there are plenty of places to sit or have a picnic (you can find benches and tables throughout the park)
We loved that there was so much wildlife, from adorable chipmunks that run around in the forests everywhere (literally never seen so many before) to blue jays, which I find rare to come across in the city. There is also a nice lake for those who want to sit by the water.
Definitely the best park in Toronto.
The only issue is trying to get in or out of the park during peak hours (which happened to us) so plan ahead and avoid high traffic times. It literally took us almost 20 minutes to try and get out of the park. |
