High Park is the largest public park in Toronto.
Located in Toronto’s west end near Keele Station, this park features many
hiking trails, sports facilities, a man made lakefront, dog park, zoo,
playground, eateries, greenhouse, picnic areas, and much much more!
What could you do in March? High Park can satisfy
every hikers need - Grenadier Pond is a man made lake, which features long and
winding waterfront trails. The zoo is also a really great way of engaging
children young and old! It is open all year around from 7am till dusk. The zoo
features bison, deer, llamas, peacocks, cattle and more, and best of all – it’s
absolutely free! High park also has an amazing playground haven for children. What
makes this playground so special exactly? Well it was designed in part by
children for one, and consists of castles, ropes, swings, ladders, slides and
artwork by kids and volunteers.
Another great winter activity is skating – the
summer tennis courts are converted into a skating rink during the cold months,
so there is something to do during every season! The hiking trails also make
for perfect cross-country skiing. I’m not too sure how much snow we will
continue to get in March, but you never really know with Toronto’s crazy
weather!
The park also hosts a wide variety of events. Last
March, the park hosted a large 5k Run and 1k walk to support Gaza charity. This
years events for March have yet to be posted, but the events calendar below can
be viewed for any upcoming events:
