What does the Emu say?
I think that the two top parks in Toronto are High Park and the Toronto Islands. High Park, one of the largest in the City sits on 399 acres of land, has large tracks of forests, creeks and a small lake known as Grenadier Pond. The biggest attractions of the park, besides nature, are the annual spring blossoms from the Japanese Cherry Trees, the small urban zoo and the magical children's castle playground - rebuilt by Mike Holmes after arsonists destroyed the wooden installation called Jamie Bell Playground. Other interesting features are nature trails, sports facilities, Colborne Lodge, Grenadier Restaurant/Cafe and the Trackless Train.
Enjoying the blossoms
The variety of trees, flowers and rare plant species are gorgeous in both spring and fall and are worth the battle for parking or the commute on public transit as over one million visitors come to the park every year.
